Abstract

Ammonia is one of the important recoverable resources in wastewater. Ammonia recovery has many benefits such as reducing the energy required for biological treatment, minimizing the risk of air and water pollution with nitrogenous compounds (e.g., N2O), and producing nutrient-rich solutions. The viability of the recovery is mainly determined by the quality of wastewater, nitrogen concentration, and the availability of chemicals and energy sources. This chapter will critically assess the potential of different wastewater types for ammonia recovery. The performance of the different recovery technologies will also be concisely addressed. The working principles and the strengths and weaknesses of each technology will be discussed.
