Swine waste odors : effects of gas stripping Fattori, Michael
Abstract
Liquid anaerobic waste collected from a swine finishing barn was chemically investigated. Various phenols, amines, sulfides and organic acids were identified in the waste and were shown to contribute to its odor. The rapid reduction in odor intensity brought about by short term aeration of the waste was studied with respect to these different compounds. The effectiveness of odor reduction by aeration was found to be contingent on the waste's pH. Reasons for this phenomenon are presented in terms of ionization constants for solutes, previously shown to be present in the waste.

Liquid anaerobic waste collected from a swine
finishing barn was chemically investigated. Various
phenols, amines, sulfides and organic acids were identified
in the waste and were shown to contribute to its odor. The
rapid reduction in odor intensity brought about by short
term aeration of the waste was studied with respect to these
different compounds. The effectiveness of odor reduction
by aeration was found to be contingent on the waste's pH.
Reasons for this phenomenon are presented in terms of
ionization constants for solutes, previously shown to be
present in the waste.
