Dear all,<br>
<br>
We do work on AD for poultry slaughterhouses and we are on the point
to implement a research project on pre-lyse of feathers treated with
acetic acid (in fact with acid condensates issuing from ethanol
distillation process).<br>
We scrutinize two possible solutions, one is the introduction of
degraded feathers in AD process (at acetoclastic phase) and the
second, to produce a composite textile / material made of these
degraded feathers blended with latex (landolphia)<br>
Will keep posted if of some interest for the group<br>
Regards<br>

I think Keratin is used for artificial nails (its what our nails
are anyway, and for industrial products). As it is what rhino
horns are made of (I think) it may be used for medicinal
purposes as well.<br>
<br>
It is also used in beauty products - so there's the market.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

As chicken feathers are Keratin they may be worth a lot
more as Keratin than as methane.<br>
