Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While wastewater treatment has focused on removing water pollutants, many of the pollutants are valuable resources if recovered in a useful form.\u00a0 This presentation focuses on novel means to capture the energy value in \u201cused waters,\u201d including domestic wastewater.\u00a0 New developments in anaerobic membrane biofilm reactors (to generate methane) and microbial electrochemical cells (to generate electrical power or hydrogen gas) now make it feasible to achieve energy-positive treatment of the BOD.\u00a0 After recovery of the energy from used water, most of the N and P are released as inorganic forms that can be recovered for recycle to agriculture.\u00a0 This talk will focus on P recovery, although many of the principle also apply for N.\u00a0 An important take-home lesson is that traditional techniques for \u201cP removal\u201d will not work for P recovery.\u00a0\u00a0 P-recovery techniques that produce a product useful in agriculture include precipitation as struvite or hydroxyapatite and selective sorption to Fe-based sorbents.\u00a0 This talk will introduce the new technologies and offer insights into their pros and cons.<\/p>\n
