Hybrid Donnan dialysis-electrodialysis for efficient ammonia recovery from anaerobic digester effluent.

ABSTRACT: Ammonia recovery from wastewater is crucial, yet technology of low carbon emission and high ammonia perm-selectivity against complex stream compositions is urgently needed. Herein, a membrane-based hybrid process of the Donnan dialysis-electrodialysis process (DD-ED) was proposed for sustainable and efficient ammonia recovery. In principle, DD removes the majority of ammonia in wastewater by exploring the concentration gradient of NH₄ ⁺ and driven cation (Na⁺) across the cation exchange membrane, given industrial sodium salt as a driving chemical. An additional ED stage driven by solar energy realizes a further removal of ammonia, recovery of driven cation, and replenishment of OH^- toward ammonia stripping. Our results demonstrated that the hybri
