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. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate
