“…For nitrogen as aqueous ammonia, which is the form of nitrogen in urine (Udert et al, 2003), the two most common approaches are ammonia stripping and ammonium sorption (Boyer, 2014). For this work, ammonium sorption was investigated because of the scalable nature of sorption processes, which can be implemented in a decentralized manner at the household or neighborhood scale or at a centralized treatment facility.…”

The effect of urine dilution on the kinetics and equilibrium sorption of ammonium to two natural zeolites was investigated for undiluted urine and urine at dilution levels of 10% (v/v), 1% (v/v), and 0.1% (v/v). Ammonium and the inorganic cations potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium were measured to elucidate the chemical interactions during the sorption process. The results show that ammonium removal from urine was greatest at the undiluted level. This is a key finding because it illustrates the benefit of urine source separation and treatment rather than the treatment of dilute wastewater streams. The removal of ammonium from urine was comparable for clinoptilolite and chabazite. For both zeolites, sodium was exchanged for ammonium and potassium. Both magnesium and calcium concentrations remained relatively constant during the sorption process.

“…Aunque existen diferentes procesos fisicoquímicos para eliminar materia nitrogenada de forma eficiente, son altamente costosos y la mayoría de las veces generan una contaminación colateral (Boyer, 2014). Por otro lado, hay diversos procesos biológicos que eliminan completamente diferentes compuestos nitrogenados.…”

“…It is the primary source of algal blooms. The maximum contaminant level for nitrates is 10 mg/L (Boyer, 2014). Nitrogen polluted water appears grey colour and results health impacts including dizziness, fatigue and cardiac problems to aquatic organism (Davis, 2002;Raimi & Sabinus, 2017;Olalekan et al, 2018;Raimi et al, 2021;Raimi et al, 2022b, c, d;Olalekan et al, 2022a, b;Raimi & Sawyerr, 2012).…”

Lagoons are becoming sporadically utilised albeit they are equipped with high potential for the outsourcing of environmental and industrial benefits. It leads to the endangered pollution of lagoon water aquatic system. The prime reason is the lack of knowledge among stakeholders and researchers regarding the influential parameters in establishing the lagoon water quality. The optimal quality for lagoon water is critical for the longevity of aquatic ecosystem. This study focuses on using bibliographic references to find the most influential factors determining the water quality in lagoons for deriving a comprehensive long-term water quality monitoring plan to ensure the sustainability of the lagoon water ecosystem. The lagoon water quality was classified in this study into biological, physical, and chemical parameters and studied for their importance upon enhancing the water quality. Experiments were conducted on selected parameters using the water samples from the selected Sri Lankan lagoons with available facilities to observe the water quality. The overall findings on physiochemical and biological characteristics using the experiments temperature, turbidity, pH, salinity, DO, BOD, COD, phosphates, nitrates, ammonia content and faecal coliforms in water specimens suggest that the selected Sri Lankan lagoons are heavily polluted due to their distinctive variations from the allowable threshold limits specified in the literature sources. To increase such increased risks associated with lagoon water systems, a long-term monitoring strategy is recommended to be incorporated at lagoon waters in order to assure their sustainability.
