Multi-scale techno-economic assessment of nitrogen recovery systems for livestock operations.

[EN]Intensive livestock farming generates vast amounts of organic materials, which are an important source of nitrogen releases. These anthropogenic nitrogen releases contribute to multiple environmental problems, including eutrophication of water systems, contamination of drinking water sources, an...
