Ammonia recovery from anaerobic digester centrate using onsite pilot scale bipolar membrane electrodialysis coupled to membrane stripping

Federico Ferrari et al.

Summary: This study investigated ammonia recovery from the centrate of an anaerobic digester. The pilot plant operated with a bipolar-electrodialysis setup coupled to liquid/liquid membrane contactor modules. The results showed that a higher load ratio and continuous current application led to higher ammonia removal efficiency. However, scaling and fouling of the ion exchange membranes limited the operation of the pilot plant. Additionally, the recovered ammonium sulfate product contained traces of a common substitute for legacy PFAS, highlighting the need for careful selection of equipment components to ensure product safety.

Visualization of Electrochemically Accessible Sites in Flow-through Mode for Maximizing Available Active Area toward Superior Electrocatalytic Ammonia Oxidation

Yu Chen et al.

Summary: An electrochemical system based on microfluidics was developed to observe microspatial reactions within electrode pore channels. It was found that reactions only occur in the surface layer of the electrode thickness, and finite element simulations were used to quantify the spatial distribution of current. Based on these findings, a gradient-coated method was proposed to optimize the pore size of a porous electrode, resulting in efficient ammonia removal.
