  • Publication number: 20220227652
    Abstract: Separation methods and systems for converting high concentrations of animal wastes and other nutrient-rich organic materials into nutrients and other useful products such as struvite and potassium struvite. Advantageously, the system and methods do not require the addition of external chemicals other than an acid and a base.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20190270679
    Abstract: The present invention provides for nutrient extraction and recovery devices that use the Donnan Membrane Principle (DMP) to cause spontaneous separation of dissolved ions along electrochemical potential gradients, wherein anions and cations such as H2PO4+, HPO42?, PO43?, Mg2+, Ca2+, NH4+, and K+ are moved from manure containing waste streams through cation and anion exchange membranes into a recovery stream thereby precipitating target compounds including but not limited to struvite, potassium struvite and hydroxyapatite.
