Background

The recovery and recycling of nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium, from society back to agriculture are crucial for a sustainable world. Phosphorus and potassium are scarce resources on which the EU heavily relies, importing them predominantly from Morocco and Russia. The manufacturing of mineral nitrogen fertilizers, along with the necessary biological methods for treating nitrogen-containing wastewaters, consumes significant amounts of energy and chemicals. Moreover, the established virgin-based processes result in emissions of greenhouse gases and ammonia, impacting climate, causing eutrophication, and contributing to acidification in nature.

EasyMining has developed several patented processes that enable the recovery of clean commercial products using waste as raw materials. Examples of our processes include phosphorus recovery from incinerated sewage sludge ashes (Ash2Phos), nitrogen recovery and energy reduction from nitrogen-containing wastewaters (Aqua2N), and the extraction of salts from fly ash created through the incineration of municipal waste (Ash2Salt).
