    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the production of an ammonium salt wherein sour water stripper gas is reacted with an aqueous medium and wherein the sour water stripper gas (SWSG) is obtained from stripping, preferably steam stripping, of sour water comprising organic compounds, wherein the sour water was submitted to a treatment T1 to reduce the concentration of organic compounds in the sour water before stripping. The present invention also relates to methods for the production of an ammonium salt wherein sour water stripper gas and (concentrated) ammonia are reacted with an aqueous medium such that the ratio (mol:mol) of the total amount of ammonia (NH3) provided by the sour water stripper gas stream to the total amount of ammonia (NH3) provided by the concentrated ammonia stream is at least 1:20. The present invention also relates to methods for the production of an ammonium salt wherein sour water stripper gas is reacted with an aqueous medium and wherein the total amount of acyclic C1-C9 saturated hydrocarbons comprised in the sour water stripper gas is less than 0.2 mol%.

    Abstract: Washing system (1) suitable for continuous processing, for the pre-treatment of keratinaceous material, preferably feathers, hair or wool. The washing system (1) comprises an infeed device (2) for feeding the keratinaceous material to the washing system (1) and a washing space (3) for washing the keratinaceous material with an aqueous washing liquid. A washing liquid system for supplying and extracting the washing liquid to and from the washing space (3) is comprised in the washing system (1). The washing space (3) comprises a sinking zone wherein material with a higher density than the washing fiquid sinks below the keratinaceous material. An extracting system (8) is placed at the bottom of the sinking zone (6) for extracting the material with a higher density than the washing liquid. Furthermore, at least one washing structure (4) that sloshes the washing liquid and/or causes turbulence in the washing liquid is present in thew ashing space (3). Finally, an outfeed device (9) is provided for extracting the k eratinaceous material from the washing system (1).
