HIGHLIGHTS
The last 15 years, we have seen a tremendous development in urine treatment technologies
We discuss relevant technologies for reaching eight process-engineering goals (sections 2-8)
A few biological as well as physical-chemical technologies have been piloted and are moving towards industrialization
There is a boost of experimental electrochemical treatment technologies, which hold promise for on-site installations
Highlights
Two field tests in Switzerland and one in South Africa.
Short-term stabilization and evaporation resulted in 98% nitrogen recovery.
During long-term field tests nitrogen recovery decreased to 20%.
Evaporation rates were governed by the relative humidity of the ambient air.
Low resource consumption resulted in costs as low as 0.05 EUR pers

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
