Optimizing electrodialysis processes for concentrating ammonium rich streams

Ammonia in aqueous environments leads to eutrophication and toxicity of the receiving water body (Metcalf & Eddy, 2003). In order to prevent environmental pollution, ammonia needs to be removed from residual water streams, before the water can be discharged to the aqueous environment (Song et al., 2012). Waste water treatment plants (WWTPs)...
