Current Driven Ammonium Recovery

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paperAcademic

Abstract

In this work we evaluated the performance of hydrogen gas recycling electrochemical systems (HRES) for the recovery of ammonium from urine. Two types of HRES were operated; a prototype and an up-scaled system. The results obtained with the prototype showed that a higher recovery could be reached at higher load ratio (i.e. current density/ammonium load) at the cost of higher energy input. The results of the up-scaled system proved that the system could be operated at higher current densities with a significant lower energy demand. The up-scaled HRES was operated at 100 A/m2 removing about 600 gN/m2/d at an energy input of 6.5
