Humics recovery from WWTP effluent

Theme
Nutrient Factory

Summary
Humic acids are interesting because they have the property to increase the uptake efficiency of nutrients. This involves plants and animals. An improved intake of nutrients stimulates the resistance and the yield. The purpose is to investigate a new and innovative concept whereby humic acids are recovered by means of an ion exchanger from treated municipal waste water (effluent). This research is part of the RINEW project.
