A novel approach is reported for the removal of ammonium formed from the conversion of urea by urease. By alkalinization, ammonium is converted into free ammonia. Free ammonia can then be very easily removed by a number of approaches: as gaseous ammonia by air bubbling, oxygenator, or air ventilation; by adsorbent for free ammonia; or other approaches.
