A hybrid oxidation approach for converting high-strength urine ammonia into ammonium nitrate

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: -N/L) to nitrite. The nitrite was then chemically oxidized by using hydrogen peroxide via a rapid chemical reaction to form nitrate. The third stage, microbial nitrite oxidation, was employed to ensure the complete removal of residual nitrite following chemical oxidation. The overall concept demonstrated in this work showcased the robust performance of the hybrid system. Moreover, the system also had a dual advantage in achieving antimicrobial ability in the first and second stages, making treated urine a safe fertilizer.
