Ammonia emissions from animal facilities have a negative impact on environment and human health. This study develops an air cleaning system from corn stalk impregnated with phosphoric acid to recover ammonia emissions from poultry facilities and produce nitrogen fertilizer. The prototype tested in a poultry facility showed an abatement of >95% of ammonia emissions.
