Aquaculture Effluent Treatment and Waste-to-Energy: Driving Inland Aquaculture Sustainability
摘要
Inland aquaculture ponds in Asian countries saw an increase in aquaculture pond area and production with intensive farming activity. Therefore, the ammonia and nitrates produced by these intensive farming ponds may substantially impact global warming. Additionally, lower airways and interstitial lung illnesses have also been linked to acute exposures to high levels of ammonia. One more efficient approach is treating wastewater with biosorbents to remove ammonia. A quick, affordable, and environmentally beneficial way to remove ammonia from water is through biosorption. This work utilized biosorbents to remove ammonia from the aquaculture waters, specifically modified rice husk ash and corncob ash. Both biosorbents have been proven successful at removing ammonia from aquaculture waters. This paper also emphasizes how to utilize aquaculture waste sludge and shrimp processing waste in agricultural and construction industry, contributes to the waste-to-energy nexus. Adapting the methods mentioned above could help create sustainable inland aquaculture ponds for future generations. Additionally, social aspects of sustainability should be considered.
