Waste to Worth: Nutrient Recovery Strategies from Wastewater

Abstract
This article explores the potential of wastewater as a valuable source for nutrient recovery. Wastewater has been investigated as a source of nutrient recovery for two reasons. Firstly, it contains high concentration of nutrients. Secondly, it exists in large quantities. Recognizing this potential, researchers have increasingly turned their attention to the recovery of nutrients from wastewater. The recovery of nutrients from wastewater serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it addresses the environmental concerns associated with the high concentrations of nutrients present in wastewater. Secondly, the large quantities of wastewater offer a substantial resource for nutrient reclamation. Minimizing the environmental footprint of wastewater treatment becomes achievable through nutrient recovery, simultaneously addressing the crucial issue of nutrient depletion in soil. The recovered nutrients, once reclaimed, can be seamlessly integrated into fertilizer production, contributing to agricultural practices and ensuring food security. This article delves into the advancements, challenges, and the overarching significance of nutrient recovery from wastewater in the pursuit of sustainable and integrated waste management practices.
