Researchers are adapting plant 'membrane separation mechanisms' so they can be embedded in wastewater recycling technologies.
and mining. It could also help companies rethink their approach to how they deal with waste by creating a way to extract value from wastewater.contains three million metric tons of phosphorus, 16.6 million metric tons of nitrogen and 6.3 million metric tons of potassium. The recovery of these nutrients from wastewater could offset 13.4% of global agricultural demand for these resources.
“The world’s wastewater contains a jumbled mess of resources that are incredibly valuable, but only in their pure form. A big challenge researchers face is figuring out how to efficiently extract these valuable minerals, metals and nutrients while retaining their purity,” ANU plant scientist associate professor, Caitlin Byrt, said in a media statement.
Ammonia, a compound used to create fertilizer and an essential material in crop production, is another key resource scientists are looking to extract from liquid waste solutions.costs are going through the roof, which puts a lot of pressure on Australian farmers to be able to afford these higher prices and yet we’re wasting huge proportions of these molecules and that’s causing environmental problems,” Byrt pointed out. “Ammonia is also a critical storage molecule for.
