“…However, only a few researchers have used dairy waste as a thermochemical conversion feedstock. For instance, thermochemical conversion of dairy manure-based biomass through direct combustion was analyzed by Carlin et al (2007). Mountains of dairy manure are generated annually and the estimated dairy cow manure production in the USA was close to 200 million tonnes in 2007 (Gerber et al, 2010).…”

Thermogravimetric analysis was used to examine the thermal behavior of dairy manure as a pyrolysis and combustion feedstock. Nitrogen and air were used as purging gases to analyze the pyrolysis and combustion reactions, respectively, and heating rates of 20°C min -1 , 40°C min -1 and 60°C min -1 were applied. An Arrhenius model was used to estimate the kinetic parameters (activation energy, reaction order and pre-exponential factor). Results showed four steps for both the pyrolysis and the combustion reactions, with the second step being the most critical one and during which most thermal decomposition of cellulose, hemicelluloses, starch and protein occurred. Thermochemical reactions were determined mainly by temperature. Heating rate influenced the start and the end of the thermal conversions. The activation energies for the two major reaction zones were 93.63 kJ mol -1 and 84.53 kJ mol -1 for pyrolysis, and 83.03 kJ mol -1 and 55.65 kJ mol -1 for combustion. Knowledge of the thermal behavior of dairy manure provides guidelines for future energy utilization.

“…Renewed interest on using animal manure for fuel is due in part to the necessity of disposing large amounts of manure [103,104,105,106]. Studies on using dairy manure for heat production, as an alternative to AD or composting, have been reported in several publications [103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117].…”

One of the consequences of the increase of large dairy concentrated feeding operations (CAFOs) is the abundance of dairy manure that needs to be disposed of or used in some way. CAFOs can become bio-refineries, harnessing the manure for heat, power, fuel, chemicals, fertilizers, fiber, wood composites, and biochar for production of multiple value-added co-products. The objective of this paper is to review options for using dairy manure fiber and its corresponding anaerobically digested (AD) fiber. Bedding for cows remains a common choice for employing the separated AD fiber. However, research has shown that AD fiber has potential for using it as a component of growth substrates used in container plant production systems, for producing composite materials, or as a feedstock for both chemical and thermochemical operations. Potential uses of AD fiber such as composite materials and liquid fuels are proposed based on experiences employing the manure and its fiber (both without a previous AD step and after AD). Thermochemical processing (e.g., liquefaction and pyrolysis) of AD fiber for fuels and chemicals has been conducted at laboratory level and still needs further study at larger scale. Gasification of AD fiber is a promising option since there is potential for integration of current methane production with methane produced from thermal gasification.

“…Una posible solución es el uso de biomasa en procesos biológicos y térmicos de conversión de energía [1]. La gasificación de biomasa, un proceso térmico para producir gas de síntesis [2,3,4] (mezcla de gases combustibles), podría ser una solución alternativa, ya que la biomasa es un combustible neutral en la producción de CO 2 . Adicionalmente, la biomasa también puede ser usada como combustible en procesos de combustión para generación de potencia; sin embargo, estos procesos ocurren por lo general a temperaturas altas que favorecen la formación de NOx y SOx.…”
