Processing of the liquid fraction

Electrodialysis

Electrodialysis

Objective

Transport of ionic forms (anions or cations) through an exchange membrane (anionic or cationic) under the influence of an electric potential difference

Inlets

Liquid streams rich in anions (PO43-) and cations (NH4+, K+)

Efficiency

Not available

Weaknesses

Accumulation of heavy metals in the catholyte;
It requires a precipitation stage with the addition of reagents to make possible the recovery of nutrients;
The recovery of N is limited by the presence of other competing ions (K+, Na+);

Products

Concentrated solutions of anions or cations
