Key Points

This research aims to explore electrochemical pathways for converting glycine to recover ammonia from organic waste.
Analyzed the electrochemical conversion processes of glycine present in municipal wastewater.
Examined different nitrogen-containing organic compounds in sludge.
Demonstrated effective ammonia recovery through glycine conversion pathways.
Identified the influence of sludge composition on the efficiency of ammonia recovery.

Abstract

Electrochemical conversion of nitrogen-containing organics in sludge offers a route for ammonia recovery but is challenged by variable sludge composition. Glycine, abundant in municipal wastewater and structurally simple, provides a...
