| Abstract | Water scarcity is affected by population growth and increasing nutrients pollution. This study evaluated the integration of ion exchange-natural activated clinoptilolite zeolite (IEX-NZ) and hollow-fibre liquid-liquid membrane contactor (HF-LLMC) as an innovative and sustainable hybrid technology for ammonia recovery from treated urban wastewaters. The process is based on NaOH closed-loop process to i) ensure the extracted concentration of ammonia from the loaded zeolites and ii) enhance the transport of NH3 through the HF-LLMC. Regeneration of the IEX-NZ provided recoveries up to around 92% using 8% NaOH solution with concentration factors between 30 and 60 and a residual ammonium stream below 1 mg NH4+-N/L. Recovery of NH3 from NaOH solutions was carried out by HF-LLMCs using two different membrane chemistries: polypropylene (PP) and poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) (PMP) (>95%). A 1-D model was developed and used to describe the time evolution of NH3 concentration during the recovery process, to determine its mass transfer coefficient (9.5 center dot 10(7) m(3)/m(2)center dot s) and to quantify the undesired water co-transport (5.0 center dot 10(5) m(3)/m(2)center dot s). In addition, the model was used to analyse the influence of operational parameters on the membrane's permeability to maximise the concentration of the ammonium salts recovered as fertilisers. In this case, the 1-D algorithm was used to identify the needed stages to achieve residual levels of NH3 on the treated streams that promoted the NaOH closed-loop recycling to secure economic feasibility. |
