In this work was investigated the influence of pH on the synthesis of struvite using cola beverage waste as source of phosphorus. The process was operated in a batch reactor. The reaction time was 20 minutes, and the chemicals MgCl 2 .6H 2 O and NH 4 Cl were used in the experiment, with a molar ratio of Mg +2 :NH 4 + :PO 4 3-= 1:1:1. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface area (BET), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and infra-red (IR). From the results was verified the formation of a crystalline phase at pH 9.5, with a surface area of 6.59 m 2 g -1 and a particle size of about 0.25 µm.
