Description
The main aim of the research work in this thesis is to study the nutrient recovery from conventional wastewater (sewage) treatment plant and then to reuse the recovered nutrients for immobilization of heavy metals in contaminated soil. The research findings confirm the potential of reducing pollution loads of concentrated wastewater by recovering nutrients, which can be used as a fertilizer as well as a soil amendment for heavy metal immobilization. The research outcomes in this thesis should be of great engineering significance to the wastewater industry and environment sustainability.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
