Can Phosphate Salts Recovered from Manure Replace Conventional Phosphate Fertilizer?

Agriculture, 2017
Pig farming produces more manure than can reasonably be spread onto surrounding fields, particularly in regions with high livestock densities and limited land availability. Nutrient recycling offers an attractive solution for dealing with manure excesses

Autonomous Reconfigurable Modular Conductive Hydrogels for Adaptive and Degradable Bioelectronic Interfaces

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Bridging rigid electrodes with soft, irregular tissues demands more than conductivity alone. Modular conductive hydrogels autonomously reconfigure into conformal electrode‐tissue interfaces, coupling mixed ionic‐electronic conduction with tissue‐like mechanics, self‐healing, and degradability.

Phosphorus recovery potential revealed by substance flow analysis of the Indian food, agricultural and sanitation system

Cleaner Environmental Systems
Phosphorus is a finite resource that is in high demand due to its essential role as a fertiliser. We undertook a substance flow analysis of phosphorus for India's agri-food system to identify where the biggest losses of phosphorus occur and which flows ...

A novel process for nutrients removal and phosphorus recovery from domestic wastewater by combining BNR with induced crystallization

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2014
An excessive discharge of phosphorus from wastewater to water bodies may potentially contribute to eutrophication. On the other hand, mineral phosphorus resources will be depleted in the near future, because of difficulty to automatically recycle from ...
