Identification and recycling of the main organic matter from the effluents of pig farms

Su J. J., . and Tang S. C., . and Huang L. T., . (2004) Identification and recycling of the main organic matter from the effluents of pig farms. [Proceedings Paper]

The effluent and humic acid samples were analyzed using LC/MS and FTIR. The results show that the major molecular fraction fingerprint and functional groups of the effluent closely resemble those of humic acid. Accordingly the major organic components in piggery wastewater are humic acid. The yellowish-brown pigment i.e. humic acid in piggery wastewater mainly contributes to COD and this humic acid can be removed with polymeric adsorbent resins. Removal of pigment in pig farm effluent can significantly reduce the COD of the effluent.

Abstract

The effluent and humic acid samples were analyzed using LC/MS and FTIR. The results show that the major molecular fraction fingerprint and functional groups of the effluent closely resemble those of humic acid. Accordingly the major organic components in piggery wastewater are humic acid. The yellowish-brown pigment i.e. humic acid in piggery wastewater mainly contributes to COD and this humic acid can be removed with polymeric adsorbent resins. Removal of pigment in pig farm effluent can significantly reduce the COD of the effluent.
