This study analyses the viability of converting the organic nitrogen possessed by dairy manure from Sri Lankan cows into ammonia using hydrolysis. Furthermore, ammonia removal from anaerobically digested dairy manure was evaluated with the experimental analysis. Hydrolysis was conducted to determine the impact of total solids, retention time, and temperature on the ammonia recovery. Experimental studies have shown that 85% of organic nitrogen in dairy manure was recovered into ammonia at 35 O C within 7 days a 12.1 -13.8 Total Solid (TS) content. Furthermore, it was also inferred that acidification occurs along with ammonium in the diary manure. Ammonia removal from anaerobically digested manure was investigated using Head Space Flushing (HSF), where it was identified that 73% of influent ammonia was removed at 35 O C after 7 days. This result can be effectively used as an appropriate method for converting and removing ammonia from dairy manure in countries with large cattle herds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
