Analyses of fuels, ash composition and ash melting temperatures for poultry litter with 8% aluminosilicate addition.

ENG:The collection contains research results produced as part of the project entitled 'Influence of aluminosilicate additives on the high-temperature corrosion process and ash characteristics of animal biomass', funded by the National Science Centre.Animal biomass is gaining popularity as an economically viable source of renewable energy. However, due to its specific composition and properties, this biomass can pose problems during thermal conversion. The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of aluminosilicate additives on the corrosion potential and properties of animal biomass ash. The project focuses on problems such as slagging propensity, high-temperature corrosion, ash grain distribution and metal content and leachability. Two types of biomass with the greatest potential are being investigated: poultry litter and from cattle dung.In the package named ‘Ash_Fuel_Analysis,’ the results of fuel and ash analyses were included for two different samples of poultry litter. The analysis results are presented in the publication: Maj, I.; Niesporek, K.; Matus, K.; Miccio, F.; Mazzocchi, M.; Łój, P. The Impact of Aluminosilicate Additives upon the Chlorine Distribution and Melting Behavior of Poultry Litter Ash. Energies 2024, 17, 1854. https://doi.org/10.3390/en17081854.. This publication also includes the results of the SEM analysis included in the dataset: Niesporek, Kamil; Matus, Krzysztof; Maj, Izabella, 2024, "Analiza SEM wpływu dodatków glinokrzemianowych na charakterystykę popiołu z biomasy pochodzenia zwierzęcego", https://doi.org/10.18150/9NS2VJ, RepOD, V1. The poultry litter samples, after pre-drying and grinding in a laboratory grinder, were combusted with an 8% fuel additive in ceramic crucibles. Aluminosilicates in the form of halloysite, bentonite, and kaolin were used as additives. The process took place at a constant temperature zone of 550°C, resulting in chemically stable ash with minimal unburned carbon.The dataset contains an XLSX file with the analysis results conducted in accredited laboratories and README text file with essential information about the provided files
