Characterisation Of Ashes From Waste Biomass Power Plants And Phosphorus Recovery, Lijian Leng, Anna A. Bogush, Amitava Roy, Julia A. Stegemann
Characterisation Of Ashes From Waste Biomass Power Plants And Phosphorus Recovery, Lijian Leng, Anna A. Bogush, Amitava Roy, Julia A. Stegemann
Faculty Publications
Biowastes, such as meat and bone meal (MBM), and poultry litter (PL), are used as energy sources for industrial combustion in the UK. However, the biomass ashes remaining after combustion, which contain nutrients such as phosphorus, are landfilled rather than utilised. To promote their utilisation, biomass ashes from industries were characterised in terms of their elemental and mineral compositions, phosphorus extractability, and pH-dependent leachability. These ashes were highly alkaline (pH as high as 13), and rich in calcium and phosphorus. The P bio-availabilities in the ash evaluated by Olsen's extraction were low. Hydroxyapatite and potassium sodium calcium phosphate were identified …
