Opportunities for Nutrient Recovery in Handling of Animal Residuals
نویسنده
چکیده
Treatment methods are presented that can be used for nutrient recovery from animal manure and these processes are compared to the current practice. Using swine feeding operations as an example, the current practice for waste handling is that 97% of all produced waste is applied to owned or rented land after storing the waste in below-floor slurry pits or anaerobic lagoons without cover. This current practice has resulted in a significant environmental pollution. Slurry storage results in emission of odor, VOCs (mainly CH4) and ammonia under normal operating conditions. In many cases there is not sufficient farmland for a sustainable land application without exceeding maximum nitrogen and phosphorus levels. New government regulations will encourage the treatment of animal residuals. Both aerobic and anaerobic process can be used to produce a valuable product from animal manure that can be reused. Phosphorus can be recovered by precipitation in combination with a biological phosphorus removing activated sludge system or by membrane separation in combination with anaerobic digestion.

Integration of Gasification for Processing Animal Residuals
Large quantities of animal residuals are produced every day. In some cases, these residuals can be recycled by application to land in its raw form. In other cases, the residuals must be treated to reduce its strength in order to recycle that material on land. Large production units for producing animals are on the rise, thus no longer allowing recycling on land as a viable option. For processin...

In contour milling, to render the machining process more automated with significant productivity without remaining material after machining, a new recovery coefficient was developed. The coefficient was inserted in the computation of contour parallel tool paths to fix the radial depth of cut in the way to ensure an optimized overlap area between the passes in the corners, without residuals.

Laboratory animal models are an important part of test design. Certain conditions such as microbial contamination in diets of these models could affect the results of experiments. One of the most important routes that predispose to contamination is generated through feeding of laboratory animals. This study aimed to show the effect of gamma irradiation in reducing bacteria concentrations,...
