“…32−35 Hence, positioning this material in the same category as other biofuels or biomass for energy conversion. The potential of the resulting pyrogenic ash has been described in the literature, 2,3,36,37 mainly due to its elemental and oxides composition. Reactivity is the most sought after feature of supplementary cementitious materials, and it refers to the ability of any given material to react with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) and other precipitated hydration products.…”

“…PL consists of a mixture of poultry manure, feathers, broken eggshells, dead breeds, and rice husk, among other residues. Studies have shown that PL contains high levels of proteins, nitrogen, and a variety of other minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and calcium. − Compared with other animal wastes, PL presents a relatively low moisture content: less than 25%. Its low moisture content makes it a viable option for thermal processes, such as combustion, pyrolysis, or gasification to recover energy and other valuable elements …”

In support of the greening of the construction industry, the development of alternative composites with equal capabilities is paramount. In this study, the pozzolanic activity of poultry litter ash (PLA) calcined at three distinct temperatures (600, 700, and 800 °C) was determined by two direct methods: Frattini and Chapelle. Supporting physicochemical techniques were used to evaluate the properties and suitability of PLA as a pozzolan. The elemental composition of PLA is assessed by CHNS-analysis, while Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy shows functional groups. Calcium oxide is the most significant crystalline phase in the 700−800 °C temperature range. Pozzolanic tests yielded significant results in terms of Ca(OH) 2 consumption for samples calcined at 700 and 800 °C: CaO reductions above 34 and 20% in the Frattini test and 240.46 and 107.87 mg Ca(OH) 2 /g PLA in the Chapelle test, respectively. Frattini and Chapelle tests may be affected due to calcium compounds leaching and are not appropriate for CaO-dominant materials.

“…Direct land spreading is accepted as the traditional method for the disposal of PL due to its high nutrient inclusion (N, K and P) for agricultural crops. However, intensive poultry farming causes some deleterious environmental impacts such as eutrophication of water bodies, spread of pathogens, production of phytotoxic substances, air pollution and greenhouse gases [5,[10][11][12].…”

“…Relatively high K and P contents make PLA a potential raw material for fertilizers. Nevertheless, heavy metal contents of PLA especially Cu and Zn resulted from the respective poultry diet and bedding materials limit significantly its direct use depending on local legislation [5,11,[14][15][16]. Since the reuse of waste is the main principle of economic and environmental sustainability, utilization potential of PLA as a phosphorus source should be studied in detail [14,15].…”

A large quantity of poultry litter is globally generated as a result of expanding poultry industry. From several alternative technologies, one of the most feasible management for this waste is combustion, which exhausts poultry litter ash (PLA) as the main by-product. In this study, a PLA sample was examined for its utilization potential as a raw material for phosphorus-based fertilizer. According to the experimental results, Ca, P and K were determined as the major elements in the PLA sample with 29.54, 6.13 and 4.96%, respectively. Although the sample contains 2472 ppm Zn and 922 ppm Cu, their solubility determined by the leaching test is below the toxicity limit for hazardous waste. In terms of the major elements, about 290 mg/l Ca was detected in the leachate, resulting in a pH value higher than 13, whereas P concentration was found only 0.0092 mg/l. These two crucial results constitute the major difficulties for direct use of the PLA as a fertilizer. On the other hand, a usable P-rich product with low heavy metal contents and neutral pH can be obtained through acidification, heavy metal removal and neutralization processes. However, in this case, the feasibility of processes to be used should be carefully considered in economic point of view. In conclusion, direct application of the PLA sample examined as P-based fertilizer is not possible without any pre-treatments mainly due to its very high alkalinity and the low water solubility of P.
