Wastewater nutrient recovery holds promise for more sustainable water and agricultural
industries. We critically review three emerging membrane processes–forward osmosis (FO) …

Antibiotic residues are of significant concern in the ecosystem because of their capacity to
mediate antibiotic resistance development among environmental microbes. This paper …

Sustainability in waste and wastewater treatment is currently drawing extensive attention.
This study employed magnesium-oxides-modified biochar (Mg-biochar) yielded from wood …

Nitrogen contamination remains a severe environmental problem and a major threat to
sustainable development worldwide. A systematic analysis of the literature indicates that the …

This research investigated the possibility of transferring phosphorus from human urine into a
concentrated form that can be used as fertilizer in agriculture. The community of Siddhipur in …

Urine is a valuable “waste” stream that could potentially be used to off-set the need to mine
and produce synthetic fertilizers. There is an urgent need for new sources of key nutrients …

Blockages caused by inorganic precipitates are a major problem of urine-collecting systems.
The trigger of precipitation is the hydrolysis of urea by bacterial urease. While the maximum …

Phosphate can be recovered as struvite or apatite in fluidised bed reactors. Urine has a
much higher phosphate concentration than sludge reject water, allowing simpler (and less …

To obtain a restoring and protective calcite layer on degraded limestone, five different strains
of the Bacillus sphaericus group and one strain of Bacillus lentus were tested for their …

The global demand for a constant supply of fertilizer is increasing with the booming of the
population. Nowadays more focus is given to the recovery and reuse of the nutrients rather …
