“…They studied the properties of obtained compounds under both pyrolysis and combustion conditions. Kwiatkowski et al (2013) studied the production of energy from fixed-bed gasification of poultry feathers on an industrial scale. The process was carried out in two stages, the feathers were gasified, and the resulting gas was burned in a separate chamber.…”

Recently, the increased consumption of poultry meat in the EU has been observed. Short cycle of poultry meat production allows adjusting the level of production to demand. With the increase in the meat production the amount of generated waste that has to be disposed because they pose a risk to the environment also increases. The work presents the possibility to produce a mixture of feathers, meat-bone meal and poultry litter that can be used for energy purposes (alternative fuel). Moreover, the composition of the ashes after combustion will be similar to phosphorus-potassium fertilizers offered for sale. The resulting granules are characterized by a calorific value in the range 13.1-13.3 kJg -1. The ash after its combustion contained 11.33-13.38% of phosphorous, 4.94-5.67% of potassium, 31.85-32.69% of calcium and 2.07-2.51% of magnesium. Moreover, the ash contained 0.45-0.46% of iron, 0.10-0.11% of manganese, 0.11-0.14 of zinc and 0.02% of copper. Mineral combusted residue of this type of granules has a low content of heavy metals and can be used as an additive to fertilizers and soil improvers, in order to enrich their composition in valuable macro-and micronutrients.

“…We have developed a new, oxygen-steam-air driven biomass gasification system and process capable of producing syngas with calorific value up to 8 MJ/m 3 on a tar free basis. This device is an improvement of the biomass gasification units successfully used in many industrial plants in Poland, intended for energy production using waste from technological processes as a fuel (Kwiatkowski et al 2013, Dudyński 2018). The operating scheme of the system is presented on Figure 1.…”

We present the design of a novel oxygen-steam-air updraft gasification plant and technological process capable of delivering high quality producer gas. Gas with calorific value of 8 MJ/m 3 is cleaned with an absorption type gas purification unit and then coupled with a piston engine for electricity production with 31% efficiency. We present the results of test runs of the installation with various combinations of gasification agents and plasma torch influence on gas quality and tar removal. We have used a classical hot plasma torch for tar cracking, but it creates a problem with proper gas mixing with very high temperature flame requiring special design of the mixing chamber. In the future development we plan to install a cold plasma reactor for more selective heavy tar reforming prior to gas entering purification unit.

“…It was found the highest lignin reduction occurred at 100 • C with 10% NaOH dosage and the highest increase in methane yield (up to 32%) occurred at 40 • C with 10% NaOH dosage. Kwiatkowski et al (2013) investigated the energy production from fixed-bed gasification of poultry feathers, by analyzing the data from a industry-scale plant located in Olsztyn. The efficiency of energy transformation was 97% for the combustor, 96% for the gasifier and 72% for the boiler.…”

A large amount of agricultural waste was generated all over the world, which could cost many problems such as environment pollution, GHG (greenhouse gas) emission, and serious disease. A review of the literature published in 2013 on topics relating to agricultural waste issues is presented, and about 180 papers were selected. The main treatment methods of agricultural waste can be biodegradation, composing, digestion, and hydrolysis. Researchers paid more attention on the waste reuse, focusing on t he environmental friendly utilization such as producing of biofuel, construction material, active carbon, adsorbent etc. Moreover, life cycle assessment (LCA) has been applied to evaluate the economic and environmental impact widely. This review is divided into the following sections: Waste Characterization, reuse, treatment, and management.
