Electrocoagulation for Water Recycle and Resource Recovery from Farm Wastewater

The goal of this proposed project is to use an electrochemical process to recover ammonia as struvite, a slow-release fertilizer, from real dairy-farm wastewater and recycle the treated water for animal cooling, feeding, cleaning, or irrigation. The produced solid fertilizer (bulk...
