In order to reduce the concentration of ammonium in wastewater from livestock farms, the main pollutant for its subsequent application to agricultural fields, a laboratory flow-through electrolysis unit was developed and tested. The experimental setup involved the use of an analog of livestock wastewater, which was constituted by an aqueous solution, designated as the electrolyte. This electrolyte comprised distilled water with the incorporation of ammonium nitrate, at a concentration of 300 mg per liter of NH4 . The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of an electric field on the change of ammonium concentration in the aqueous solution for demineralization of wastewater from livestock farms. Experimental studies were carried out on the developed dynamic electrolysis unit, during which the effect of electric fields on the moving flow of electrolyte simulating wastewater.. Read More»
