Electrified Nutrient Recovery From Municipal Anaerobic Digester Supernatant

Abstract Details

2023, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Chemical Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
Recovering nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) from wastewater streams offers a promising solution to combat the eutrophication of natural water bodies and reduce operational costs in wastewater treatment plants. This will also introduce a sustainable P resource for agricultural activities and industry. This study utilized an impeller-planar electrochemical setup for P recovery from synthetic municipal digester supernatant, focusing on two main objectives. Firstly, a dimensionless correlation between mass and fluid transport was developed to investigate the effect of flow transfer and physical conditions on the mass transfer. Secondly, a Plackett-Burman design was employed to perform statistical screening analysis on ten variables classified into operational, design, and stream categories. Subsequently, the key variables affecting the P recovery and electrochemical specific energy consumption were introduced.
