Regenerative Energie
Liquid digestate from biogas plants contains significant amounts of ammonia, which has to be removed in order to close in-plant water circulation without the risk of inhibiting the anaerobic digestion processes. Technologies like air-stripping turn out to be very cost-intensive and therefore not economically feasible for digestate processing.
A new process including ammonia preconcentration via ion exchangers (zeolite) followed by air stripping should solve this problem (ion exchanger-loop-stripping). Through the preconcentration step a separate, NH4+-containing stream is produced, wherefore operating respectively investment costs as well as the scale of the following air stripping process are decreased. In the end, a purified process water stream and a concentrated ammoniumsulfate-solution should be generated, latter can be used for NOx-removal at cement works.
In laboratory experiments, required contact times, performance and exchange capacities as well as various desorption and pretreatment conditions for natural zeolite (klinoptilolite) are tested. Exchange capacities up to 8 mg NH4+/g zeolite can be achieved if the regeneration/pretreatment is performed with concentrated NaCl-solutions. Given these capacities, even under ideal laboratory conditions a high amount of zeolite is necessary for preconcentration. Nevertheless, ion exchanger-loop-stripping can be a practicable process for partial digestate treatment.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
