Extraction improves nitrogen and phosphorus yields from cyanobacteria and sludge using a molecular sieve—this transformation is significant for nutrient recovery.
A notable increase of 30% in nutrient extraction was observed, enhancing sustainability efforts involving waste materials.
Assessment using degradative solvent extraction highlights the methodological effectiveness of the molecular sieve in altering nutrient composition.
These findings may enable more efficient recycling of nutrients from municipal waste, supporting environmental conservation efforts.
