Waste Stream Resource Recovery

Recovering valuable resources (nutrients, water, energy) from agriculture waste streams, such as animal manure, is challenged by the low efficiency and selectivity of current membrane technologies.

Hamiltonian simulations provide molecular insights into membrane selectivity, aiding the design of new materials for separation technologies like reverse osmosis and electrodialysis.

This facilitates the design of new, highly efficient membrane materials. This advancement achieves higher resource recovery, supporting a pathway towards a circular economy by reusing nutrients, water, and energy.
