Abstract:
In recent years, source-separated urine has garnered widespread recognition as a valuable nutrient recovery resource. This paper summarizes urine components globally and related urine nutrient recovery technologies. Comparative analysis highlights the significant advantages of biological nitrification in technology, environmental impact, and economics, enabling sustainable complete nutrient recovery from urine. This review summarizes functional microorganisms involved in urine biological nitrification and evaluates the performance of various reactors, while also detailing key factors influencing biological nitrification and conducting its role in improving fertilizer safety. Considering the need for remote transport and convenient storage, the performance of urine nitrification-based concentration technologies in resource recovery is also evaluated and the effective approaches for widespread application are proposed. Nonetheless, nutrient recovery technologies based on urine biological nitrification has significant challenges to be overcome, including rapid reactor start-up, stable process operation, enhanced fertilizer safety, and industrial-scale implementation. To address these challenges, this review proposes corresponding development strategies and outlines future prospects. With the refinement of urine source separation systems and improvements of nutrient recovery technologies based on biological nitrification, urine source separation strategies and decentralized treatment methods will help to contribute to the establishment of wastewater management systems that integrate pollution control, recycling, and ecological protection.
