Evaluation of Poultry Manure: Combination of Phosphorus Recovery and Activated Carbon Production.

ABSTRACT: Intensive growth of poultry production leads to generation of a large-scale accumulation of wastes, which is a critical concern for poultry farming. An environmentally friendly and effective solution is still being sought for sustainable management of poultry manure. In this study, evaluation of poultry manure both as a carbon source for production of solid fuels and activated carbon and as a phosphorus source has been investigated. The study focuses on the following: (1) biochar and hydrochar production under different process conditions for production of carbon-rich fuel from poultry manure; (2) phosphorus recovery by acid leaching-alkali precipitation from manure ash, biochar, and hydrochar; and (3) activated carbon production from acid-leached hydrochar and biochar. The results reveal
