Technical Abstract: Since 1976, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the United States Department of Agriculture, with support from the United States Department of Energy, has been involved in the development of agricultural uses for atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) by-product. Protection of the food chain and documentation of the beneficial use of AFBC by-product have been the primary concerns throughout this development effort. The initial effort resulted in published guidelines for the use of AFBC by-product as a soil amendment. currently ARS scientists are working with industry in the application of the developed technology in the field and in the development of new uses.
