Ammonia recovery from livestock manure using membrane and electrochemical systems

As livestock manure loses its constituents to the environment, including nutrients, pathogens, and organic matter, it degrades both surface and ground water quality, contributes to climate change, causes nuisance odors, and creates human health issues. Processing manure to recover embedded nutrients such as ammonium, nitrogen, and phosphorus can mitigate these impacts by increasing nutrient density, making a more manageable fertilizer that has a greater economically feasible transport distance.
