Simultaneous Recovery of Struvite and Irrigation Water for Agricultural Purposes Obtained from Dewatering Liquor through Electrodialysis
Wastewater contains resources, which can be recovered for secondary use if treated properly. Besides research in zero liquid discharge solutions, the aim of the study was a simultaneous recovery of products from a wastewater treatment plant’s dewatering liquor. To be specific, we investigated a simu...
