The challenge of the project is to increase the energy efficiency of thermal conversion and processing (combustion/gasification) and to enable the recycling of of process ashes to close material cycles by gaining adequate and competitive fertilizers as well as (BMBF) cane (functional) fillers in (bio-)polymer compounds. For this German straw purpose, phosphorus salts are recovered from bagasse, straw, filtercake and vinasse with leaching and precipitation. The AshDec process was used to increase the availability of phosphorus for plant uptake in the ashes. Additives like sewage sludge and chicken manure were also tested. Different fertilizer formulations are
