WARF ADVANCES
Top licensing prospects from the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Electrochemical Phosphate Removal and Recovery Cells
This electrochemical system can not only selectively remove phosphate from a phosphate-containing solution but can also recover it as H3PO4 without needing additional acid or creating byproduct wastes.
