A practical electrodialysis model for accelerating system development

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Empirical optimization of electrodialysis (ED) is dependent on repetitive experiments with incremental adjustments, which is cost prohibitive at scale. While models can reduce the costs associated with optimization and scale‐up, existing ED models are limited in application to specific use cases and tend to be developed for the exploration of ...

Circular Economy in the Management of Wastewater Treatment Plant: A Business Model Approach

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The water and wastewater management sector faces many challenges related to the implementation of a circular economy (CE). To date, sectoral CE solutions have focused mainly on technological innovations, with limited attention paid to social and economic aspects.

Predicting the potential of sludge dewatering liquors to recover nutrients as struvite biominerals

Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, 2020
Phosphorus and nutrient recovery from wastewater as mineral salts can support local replenishment of fertilisers and reduce mining, contributing to the circular economy.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Cow urine as a potential source for struvite production

International Journal of Recycling of Organic Waste in Agriculture
Background Rock phosphate deposits are non-renewable and are facing a decline. Due to this, phosphate fertilizers are going to be limited in future. Struvite is a crystalline mineral substance containing equimolar amount (1:1:1) of magnesium ammonium and

How AI and Digital Technologies Can Enhance Sustainable Livestock Manure Management: An Overview From Treatment to Distribution

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable livestock manure management sits at the nexus of climate, nutrient circularity and water quality. This review explores how artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms are used across four management stages, that is, treatment, storage, valorisation and distribution, and figures out where integration fails to deliver ...

Interactive effect of struvite produced from human urine and emerging contaminants on biological indicators of soil quality

Frontiers in Environmental Science
Struvite produced from human urine is rich in macronutrients. It can be used as a slow-release fertilizer, which helps to promote growth and increase the productivity of agricultural crops. However, struvite may contain pharmaceuticals that can alter the

Optimisation of the preparation of a phosphomagnesium cement based on struvite and K-struvite [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2013
Cement is the most widely used material in construction. Its properties are crucial for construction quality. The commonly used cement is Portland cement, which since its discovery in 1812, has continued to be developed in order to improve their properties.
