“…Part of the ammonia can volatilize during collection, storage, treatment, and/or application, resulting in a loss of nitrogen, odor nuisance, and environmental pollution. , Moreover, spontaneous, uncontrolled precipitation of calcium and magnesium salts, resulting from the increase in pH to ∼9.2 and release of ammonia and bicarbonate upon hydrolysis, leads to clogging of pipes in collection systems and a loss of phosphorus (and to a limited extent also nitrogen). − Clogging of pipes by the precipitating salts is a common problem in nonwater urinals and urine-separating toilets, creating odor nuisance, blockages, and leakages and requiring extensive cleaning and maintenance. ,,,− It is believed that this is currently one of the major barriers for the widespread implementation of source separation . The presence of calcium and magnesium can also cause problems during further downstream urine treatment, e.g., through scaling on membranes (used in reverse osmosis, forward osmosis, electrodialysis, (bio)electrochemical systems, etc.…”
