【 摘 要 】
Ammonium (NH4+) can be recovered from water for fertiliser production or even energy production purposes. Because NH4+ recovery is more effective at increased concentrations, electrodialysis (ED) can be used to concentrate NH4+ from side streams, such as sludge reject water, and simultaneously achieve high NW removal efficiencies. However, the effect of osmosis and back-diffusion increases when the NH4+ concentration gradient between the diluate and the concentrate stream increases, resulting in a limitation of the concentration factor and an increase in energy consumption for NH4+-removal. In this study, we showed that operation at dynamic current density (DCD) reduced the effect of osmosis and back diffusion, due to a 75% decrease of the operational run time, compared to operation at a fixed current density (FCD). The concentration factor increased from 4.5 for an FCD to 6.7 for DCD, while the energy consumption of 90% NH4+-removal from synthetic sludge reject water at DCD remained stable at 5.4 MJ.kg-N-1 (C) 2019 The Authors.
