"The KNiHCF electrode spontaneously #oxidizes organic matter and uptakes #ammonium ions (NH4+) and potassium ions (K+) in #manure #wastewater with a nutrient selectivity of ∼100%. Subsequently, nitrogen- and potassium-rich fertilizers are produced alongside the electrosynthesis of H2 (green fuel) or H2O2 (disinfectant) while regenerating the KNiHCF electrode."
Electrochemical ammonia recovery and co-production of chemicals from manure wastewater - Nature Sustainability
Ammonia recovery from manure wastewater not only protects the aquatic ecosystem but also contributes to a sustainable nutrient cycle. Here the authors develop an electrochemical process enabling efficient ammonia recovery, with decentralized fertilizer and chemical production, from ammonia-rich manure wastewater.
