"So please suggest me the matter or where can I found more about this on internet"

Use <google.com> and <dogpile.com>

Search for "water urine waste," "purify waste water," etc.

Ask Lisa. But I'm not sure her diaper solution was the best.

A good place to start would be to look under agricultural engineering topics. Farmers have had to deal with animal waste for a long time and I am certain there will be information on you subject.

there was a report from a European Co that was dividing toilet bowls into 2 parts, one for solids and one for urine. They would be treated differently by the waste management system. I remember because they said the biggest hurdle would be getting men to sit when peeing. No shit!

"European Co that was dividing toilet bowls into 2 parts, one for solids and one for urine."

Great Idea! Now we have to dig up the pavements etc. to install separate sewer line just for the urine! "No shit!"

UnReal!

MisManagement par excellance!

Re: Reclamation of Urine Waste

Many years ago I read a book on some of the engineering achievements of the American Civil War. One of the features was the recycling of urine. It was right up there with breach loading and repeating weapons. In the confederate states, urine was collected and placed in niter beds to evaporate off the water content. The solids were then used as a replacement for Potassium Nitrate in making gun powder for muzzle loading weapons.

Urine collection was some what easier due to the common practice of using a "Chamber Pot".

I don't know how effective it would be as it would contain a lot of other chemicals but it was obviously thought to be adequate for export purposes as they sent it north as quickly as possible.

Is this the kind of information you are trying to locate?

Not my bailywick, but I do remember an article some years back commenting on a problem with the efficiency of methane digestion from animal waste in India, where production and efficiency were limited by lack of nitrogen due to non-recovery of urine.

The answer might well be right under your nose. (Ouch, .....sorry).
