Muylaert K.Markou G.Σωτηρούδης, Θεόδωρος Γ.Israilides C.Iconomou D.Herein a new approach of exploiting poultry litter (PL) is demonstrated. The suggested method includes drying of PL with simultaneously striping and recovery of ammonia, followed by the direct combustion of dried PL. The generated ash after the combustion, and the striped ammonia consequently, could be used as nutrient source for the cultivation of microalgae or cyanobacteria to produce feed additives. The present study explored the application of PL ash and recovered ammonia for the cultivation of Arthrospira platensis and Chlorella vulgaris. For a simultaneously 90% dissolution of ash potassium and phosphorus, a ratio of acid to ash of 0.02mol-H+/g was required. The optimum mass of ash required was 0.07-0.08g/g dry biomass, while the addition of ammoniac nitrogen of 8-9mgN per g of dry biomass per day was adequate for a satisfactory production of A. platensis and C. vulgaris.459-46810.1016/j.biortech.2015.08.007PubMed ID: 26280098https://hdl.handle.net/10442/175190960-8524engElsevier Ltd© 2015 Elsevier Ltd.© 2015 Elsevier Ltd.Bioresource TechnologyAshCyanobacteriaNutrientsMicroalgaePoultry litterExploration of using stripped ammonia and ash from poultry litter for the cultivation of the cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis and the green microalga Chlorella vulgarisΆρθρο σε επιστημονικό περιοδικό2015Δημοσίευση σε περιοδικόPublication in journalΤεχνολογία μέσωνMedia TechnologyΕπιστημονικό άρθροScientific articleΕθνικό Ίδρυμα Ερευνών (ΕΙΕ)Greek Aggregator OpenArchives.gr | National Documentation Centre (EKT)
