Nutrient recovery from secondary resources, such as wastewater, has received increasing attention in recent years. cycle sustainability and recycling approaches are important measures under development considerations. This paper aims to present an overview of routes technologies for nutrient sewage sludge improving their sustainability. First, current briefly reviewed. Next, commercial technologies, projects, emerging techniques around the world with key factors a successful phosphorus technology is presented. Finally, proposal these practices It concluded that gap between demand supply can be major driver shift ‘removal treat’ ‘recovery reuse’. Moreover, there not, will never be, one-size-fits-all solution. Future strategies roadmaps need adapted local economy geographical context more than ever.

Electrochemically upcycling wastewater nitrogen such as nitrate (NO3–) and nitrite (NO2–) into an ammonia fertilizer is a promising yet challenging research topic in resource recovery treatment. This study presents electrified membrane made of CuO@Cu foam polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for reducing NO3– to (NH3) NH3 (NH4)2SO4, liquid ready-use. A paired electrolysis process without external acid/base consumption was achieved under partial current density 63.8 ± 4.4 mA·cm–2 on the cathodic membrane, which removed 99.9% feed (150 mM NO3–) after 5 h operation with rate 99.5%. energy 3100 91 g-(NH4)2SO4·m–2·d–1 21.8 3.8 kWh·kg–1-(NH4)2SO4, respectively, almost outcompete industrial production cost Haber–Bosch process.

Freshwater is a scarce resource that continues to be at high risk of pollution from anthropogenic activities, requiring remediation in such cases for its continuous use. The agricultural and mining industries extensively use water nitrogen (N)-dependent products, mainly fertilizers explosives, respectively, with their excess accumulating different bodies. Although removal NO3 soil through the application chemical, physical, biological methods has been studied globally, these seldom yield N2 gas as desired byproduct cycling. These predominantly cause secondary contamination deposits chemical waste slurry brine, nitrite (NO2), ammonia (NH3), nitrous oxide (N2O), which are also harmful fastidious remove. This review focuses on complete denitrification facilitated by bacteria remedial option aimed producing terminal byproduct.

Wastewater treatment plants (WwTPs) remove microplastics (MPs) from municipal sewage flow, with the resulting bulk of MPs being concentrated within generated sludge which is frequently recycled back onto agricultural land as accepted practice in many European countries a sustainable fertiliser resource. This circular process means that successfully removed WwTPs are deposited into soil and able to return natural watercourse by run-off or infiltration groundwater. study quantifies removal efficiency size ranging between 1000 5000 μm primary settlement tank (PST) at WwTP serving population equivalent 300,000 provides MP concentrations sludge.

Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plants and plays important role in agriculture. However, the cycle between nitrogen input into agriculture content wastewater has been broken. Recently, recovery from was demonstrated using electrochemical system (ES) combined with a gas permeable membrane. Once concentrated, ammonia recovered acid, producing either ammonium sulfate (AS) or nitrate (AN). The ES operated at different conditions while guaranteeing certain removal concentrated fertilizer. An 25.5 gN/L 21.5 were recovered. To evaluate performance of these fertilizers, 5 treatments applied to two crops, spinach radish. (1) AS ES, 2) commercial AS, 3) AN 4) AN, 5) no addition (control). Between fertilized treatments, significant difference observed fresh biomass leaf (consumable part crop) fertilizers. Effective fertilization confirmed by significantly higher both radish spinach, compared control. After harvest, soil pH above 5.0 despite low fertilizers (pH 1.8 - 2.4).
