Resumen
La digestión anaeróbica es una tecnología mundialmente aplicada para el tratamiento de residuos orgánicos, principalmente debido a su capacidad de producir metano como fuente de energía renovable. Sin embargo, existe un creciente interés en la recuperación de nutrientes (N y P), el cual desde el punto de vista ambiental y económico ha sido identificado como un factor clave en las plantas de tratamiento vía digestión anaeróbica. El presente manuscrito presenta una visión global de los recientes avances en las tecnologías de recuperación de nutrientes aplicables a sistemas de digestión anaeróbica. La revisión está enfocada en la recuperación de N y P mediante el uso del digestado como fertilizante, la precipitación de estruvita y sistemas biológicos como la ficoremediación (ej. cultivos de algas) y organismos acumuladores de polifosfatos.
