Technology for reducing gas emissions from livestock farms

Abstract

The study provides an overview of methods for neutralizing pollutants from emissions from livestock facilities. The principal possibility of gas purification with the use of sorbents based on natural materials is presented. Pilot tests were conducted on the territory of an operating livestock farm in the Republic of Kalmykia. During the experiment, the type of sorption loading of the biofilter varied, which made it possible to assess the basic requirements, engineering fundamentals, principles of operation, applicability, economic efficiency and potential failures of the proposed method.
