“…For both synthetic and real urine, an initial flux decay was observed at the outset of permeation, followed by the onset of a period of steady-state, despite the deposition noted on the membrane surface through direct observation (Figure 4). The attainment of steady-state flux is similar to earlier studies that have applied MD to complex wastewaters (12) (14). Following a period of steady-state, a considerable flux decline was noted, which did not influence permeate product quality ( Figure 6, Table 1).…”

“…Urine is an aqueous medium containing both organic and inorganic components. Urea, creatinine, uric acid, vitamins, hormones, nutrients (N, P, and K), chloride, and trace metals are some of the components excreted in urine [5][6][7][8]. Many studies have attempted to find a method to take advantage of the richness of urine in regards to macro and micronutrients and transform it into natural fertilizers that can be used in agricultural production [4,[9][10][11].…”

“…Significant water reduction was achieved by evaporation (> 96%) and the freeze-thraw process (75%), although these processes required unacceptably intensive energy. Furthermore, the dissolved ammonia contained in source-separated human urine can be easily evaporated to the atmosphere during the process (Tun et al 2016).…”
