Abstract
Abstract of Disclosure A method and solution are provided for reduc-ing air-polluting odors emanating from organic waste products produced by metabolic processes and from organic industrial waste including effluents. The method comprises contacting said wastes with an aqueous acid solution con-taining a water-soluble oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of nitrates, chlorates and permanganates of ammonia and alkali metals, and also a precipitating agent selected from the group consisting of water soluble ferric and ferrous compounds.
Description
` ` 447' ` This invention relates to a novel solution and ,~
~- method for reducing air-polluting odors which emanate from organic waste products, including organic waste products in storage subject to chemical or microbial degradation.
State of the Art , . .
Methods have been proposed for eliminating odors from organic waste products. However, such methods have - not been wholly successful~ For example, in the treatment of human wastes, sanitary products, solids or sanitary 0 fluids have been used. Their main objective is to provide a bacteriostat~c effect. In general, they act as deodor-izer~. Actually, they provide an odor--masking effect ~y employing such aromatics as phenolic compounds, camphor, iso-bornyl acetate, and so foxth, the effect being generally . ., ~15 temporary.
Different methods have been proposed for reducing ~1, the odor o animal waste products in the field where, for example, manure is spread. It has been suggested to aerate animal wastes~on a ~arge scale; however, aeration has not been satisfactory due to the low threshold values of cer-tain of the more odorous compounds. The ~hxeshold values , ox minimum identifiable odor (M.IØ) for mercaptans in `
mg/l in air range between 10 to 3xlO ; for dialkylsul- `

` ~o6;~47' fides from about 10 to 2.5xlO ; for hydrogen sulfide about 10 and for skatole about 1.2xlO mg/l in aix.
Another method which has been proposed utilises î the deep-level injection of liquia or liquified manure into the soil. This method diminishes odors in the sur-. . ~
rounding ~ields but not in the breeding areas. In Sweden, ~' the foregoing was applied to the abatement of odors due to animal was~es on pig breeding farms. ;~
.^ . . , ~ .
The best results, though still not wholly satis-factory, have been obtained with the use of ammonium persulfate. While unrealistically high amounts of this chemical have been used, they still did not eliminate or , reduce the odor entirely. Moreover, the chemical does not .. ~ . ... . .
~ attack sulfur-bearing chemicals. The effect of ammonium ;;

~:,~,,. : ' ,i~ ~ .~ . ., .' ' . ~A , `` 1062~47 Stating it broadly, one aspect of the invention i8 directed to a method o reducing air polluting odors emanating from a solids-.~ ., containing organic waste product selected from the group consistlng of , organic waste products produced by metabolic processes including animal~'; and human wastes, organic industrial wastes and sewage sludges which com-prises: contacting said organic waste product with an effective odor-abating amount of an aqueous acid solution con~aining an oxidizing agent .i, selected from the group consisting of water-soluble persulfates, nitrates, chlorates and permanganates of ammonium ion and alkali metals in an .
~' 10 amount sufficient to provide between about 8 and 68 mg 02/g of solution, . a precipitating agent selected from the group consisting of water-soluble ferrous and ferric compounds in an amount sufficient to provide between about 28 and 70 mg Fe/g of solution, and about 3 to 25~ by weight of sulfuric acid; and maintaining said contact until said odor has been substantially removed.
The use of the foregoing solution results in simultaneous ~I reactions involving the acidification and oxidation of the waste and ~;i/ also in the precipitation of odorless and lnsoluble sulfides. The ~Y~
chemicals selected are those which have sufficient solubility in cold water and which are substantially harmless to the surrounding environment.
The reactants employed include substantially all acids, the inorganic acids being the most efficient, e.g. sulfuric acid, Acid salts may be employed, such as peroxidisulfates ~persulfates~, hydrogen sulfates, ferric chlor-lde, and the like. The amount of acid material employed ; should be such ~' - 106Z44t7 ~ . .
,; as to assure a pH of less than 5, and preferably less ~; than 4, in the waste product treated. If the pH rises during treatment, more acid may be added. Examples of efficient odor-removing oxidizing agents include soluble persulfates, soluble chlorates, soluble nitrates, soluble . :
pexmanganates and ferric chloride.
In order to transform such odor-producing chemicals as hydrogen sulfide and organic sul~ur compounds into preci-pitates, water soluble ixon salts are used, with ferrous .;, ~ 10 sulfate and ferric chloride being the most efficient.
, Each rPactant must be present to achieve the ~ xesults of the invention. For example, neither acidifica-;,l tion alone, nor oxidation alone, nor sulfide precipitation '~ alone will adequately remove odors. Successul results are ii 15 obtained when all three reactants are employed together.

Empirically, I have observed some chemical pro-perties to be typical of certain types of organic wastes.
For example, proteinic wastes, containing relatively more .~ ~ . .

:.," ,' ~' ~-`` 1062447 sulfur and nitrogen, develop more odorous compounds and more amm~nia. This is particularly true of organic ~astes produced by metabolic processes. These wastes contain urea which soon becomes degraded by enzymes to form am-monia, among other by-products~
The chemical demand for certain wastes for the removal of odors is summarized, by way of example, as follows.
... ' Human wastesare treated with about 50 to 100 mg -~
- ;~' . '-oxygen~kg of waste (850-950 ml); and animal wastes with ~ -about 190 to 205 mg oxygen/liter of waste. As regards organic industrial wastes, average figures are not avail-able as such wastes tend to vary in composition~ The chemlcal demand for sewage normally ranges from about 8 to 10 mg oxygen/l, while sewage sludge (e.g. excess sludge) I requires about 17 to 21 mg of oxygen/l (liter). ;
!~ With regard to the use of iron salts as preci- ~
,' ~ . ;?
pitation agents, for human wastes, about 112 to 180 mg Fe/Xg (850-950 ml) of waste is normally required; for animal wastes, about 150 to 200 mg Fe/l; for sewage, about 30 to~ 35 mg Fe~l; and ~or æewage sludges, about 12 to 30 .

Empirically, I have observed some chemical pro-perties to be typical of certain types of organic wastes.
For example, proteinic wastes, containing relatively more .~ ~ . .

:.," ,' ~' ~-`` 1062447 sulfur and nitrogen, develop more odorous compounds and more amm~nia. This is particularly true of organic ~astes produced by metabolic processes. These wastes contain urea which soon becomes degraded by enzymes to form am-monia, among other by-products~
The chemical demand for certain wastes for the removal of odors is summarized, by way of example, as follows.
... ' Human wastesare treated with about 50 to 100 mg -~
- ;~' . '-oxygen~kg of waste (850-950 ml); and animal wastes with ~ -about 190 to 205 mg oxygen/liter of waste. As regards organic industrial wastes, average figures are not avail-able as such wastes tend to vary in composition~ The chemlcal demand for sewage normally ranges from about 8 to 10 mg oxygen/l, while sewage sludge (e.g. excess sludge) I requires about 17 to 21 mg of oxygen/l (liter). ;
!~ With regard to the use of iron salts as preci- ~
,' ~ . ;?
pitation agents, for human wastes, about 112 to 180 mg Fe/Xg (850-950 ml) of waste is normally required; for animal wastes, about 150 to 200 mg Fe/l; for sewage, about 30 to~ 35 mg Fe~l; and ~or æewage sludges, about 12 to 30 .
