Best practices for sustainable bio-based fertilers in Europe
The BPB documents production methods, nutrient composition, field performance, environmental impact, and agronomic efficiency of BBFs, including nitrogen-loaded zeolites, algae powder, Bio-NPK-C compounds, Smart BBFs, recovered salts, and ammonium sulphate. It presents results from pilot trials, maturity upscaling, and lessons learned, supported by harmonised evaluation protocols and SWOT analyses.

D 2.7 – Report on Ion exchange and membrane contactors processes and Smart BBF formulation
The research aimed to study and optimise the operational conditions of the technology proposed in WalLAB for nitrogen recovery, to scale-up this technology in further WalNUT activities. In this regard, several tests were performed concerning ion exchange and membrane contactor technologies.
