Well yeah. Still, phosphorus can theoretically be mined though from ocean water. The problem is that with current techniques, yeah; it's not sustainable. Being able to mine it from out direct waste would be ten times better.

In no chemist. I don't know if it can or not, even theoretically. Would need to do some research.
There's a better way. The ship can filter the waste water for nutrients before releasing it into the sea.

You can mine any liquid through the use of bacteria that accumulate the specific element/compound you're looking for.
