Anu Researchers Working on Extraction of nutrients from Wastewater
Researchers from the Australian National University are working on a technology for the development of technology using which enrichment of valuable resources from Wastewater could now be possible. In the meantime, these researchers and the CSIRO have been collectively rewarded more than $1 million to support their research work. For the most part, this technology would try to mimic the mechanisms by which plants can extract nutrients from toxic materials in the soil. For the most part, this technology is expected to provide cost-effective methods to obtain fresh water and elements such as phosphorus and potassium, which are essential for agricultural purposes. Accordingly, it would play an important role in dealing with problems related to climate change.
While Australia is an important exporter of food in the international trade business but it imports fertilizer for agricultural purposes. However, due to various geo-political tensions in the current period have led to a stark increase in the prices of relevant goods. As a result, it has become essential to find measures to improve the overall production of agricultural goods keeping in mind the prices of these products.
According to the researcher Dr Sullivan this method would bring revolutionary changes concerning various changes and developments that would ensure essential developments in the field of environment and finance. Besides, the inaugural ANU CSIRO food collaboration program serves as a collaborative investment between Australian National University as well as the Australian national science agency. For the most part, these technologies are designed to deal with challenges faced by the world in today's time.
