Realize Energy-rich Compound Opportunities Valorizing Extraction from Refuse waters (RECOVER)
From US Department of Energy (DOE)
The Realize Energy-rich Compound Opportunities Valorizing Extraction from Refuse waters (RECOVER) program seeks to develop technologies to concentrate and recover high value energy materials (ammonia and critical metals) from aqueous waste streams. The RECOVER program defines the aqueous waste stream as any unwanted aqueous byproduct of anthropogenic activities, and includes: Municipal wastewater, Animal feedlot retention basins/waste ponds, Oil and gas flowback, and produced water, and Mining drainage, discharge, and tailing ponds.
