(54) PROCESS FOR PRODUCING AN ANIMAL FEED INGREDIENT FROM ANIMAL MANURE (71) I, SOL KATZEN, a citizen of the United States of America, of Henasi Street, 2, Herzliya Pituach, Israel, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray that a patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statenent: - This invention relates to a process for pro ducking an animal feed ingredient front animal manure and to the resultant animal feed ingredient.
Approximately one fiouxh of all feed con- sumed by animals is incompletely metabolized and consequently excreted. In addition the breakdown products of the cells of the various body organs are also eliminated in the faeces or urine. Conventional disposal of those wastes sometirnes creates problems of environmental pollution and is certainly wasteful of valuable nutrients that could be utilized to replace costly gains, bay and oilseeds in the for mulation of diets for arsenals.
An object of this invention is to provide a process for producing an animal feed ingredient from animal manure.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a process for producing an animal feed ingredient from animal manure, comprising: admixing an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid and either wet or dry manure, the acid and basic minerals con mined in the manure chemically rearming to form soluble salts, the acid being mixed with the manure in at least an amount sufficient to achieve a desired degree of steriLization od the manure and a flurry containing solids and having an acidic aqueous phase being formed; and recovering the solids from the slurry, the solids being separated into inorganic material and organic material the organic material being the animal feed ingredient.
The process of this invention sterilizes and deodorizes the animal manure as well as reducing the normal excess of mineral matter and renders the resulting organic material more easily digestible.
It is preferred to use a substantially equimedlar amount of the acid relative to the basic minerals. This generally causes the pH of the slurry formed to be sufficiently acid that sterilization of the manure is achieved.
The organic material may be separated into fibrous material and organic material comprising protein. The fibrous organic material and the proteinaceous organic material after separation from the inorganic material and from each other, are preferably dried.
The acid aqueous phase, after separation from the solids, may be recycled to the admixing step.
~Aooording to the process of this invention, an acid solution (aqueous) is prepared to which either wet or dry manure is added- a chemical reaction takes place between the essentially basic minerals such as calcium potassium, sodium and magnesium compounds contained in the manure and the acid to form soluble salts. An example of the pre fended acid and concentration is hydrochloric acid (HC1) in a ooncentration between 0.25 and 6.0 N.The amount of acrid used is pre ferably that amount which is about equal on a molar (exchange or reaction) basis to the amount of essentially basic minerals present in the manure and which is necessary to achieve the sterilization desired. The chloride salts of the various minerals are soluble in the water fraction of the slurry created by the above process.
Other useful inorganic acids include sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitrous acid, phos phonic acid, nitric acid and sulfurous acid; The manare-aoid solution is mixed, pre- ferably by slow stirring, during the tirne period when the chemical reaction takes palace. The time period can be from a few minutes up to an hour. The solution is pre ferably then allowed to settle until a clear separation has occurred between the various solid fractions and the acid water solution.
Separation oan be achieved by other suitable separation means, such as, centrifugation, but gravimetric separation as described above is preferred as it is quite feasible and economical.
The separated oid-water solution (M) is preferably decanted from above the settled mbasswhis refers specifically to the gnavi- metric separation method, but the results are representative of all af the suitable separation means. Then the top-most layer of the settled mass containing 15 co 30 percent of protein is removed. This protein fraction (I) may represent one fourth of the original dry weight of the manure. The fibrous portion (II) lies just below prctein fraction I and contains about 8 percent protein, about 15 percent ash and about 60 percent carbohydrate material, on an air dried basis. Fibrous portion II may represent one-half or more of the original dry weight of the manure.Finally, the lowermost layer (III) of insoluble mineral matter, i.e., silicates and other insolubies, is removed. This fraction (III) may be used as land fill or other building material. Protein fraction I and fibre friction II are pressed to remove any free water-aoid solution and are then dried in any convenient manner (e.g., using an alfalfa type dryer, a belt drier ar a drum drier, or even sun dried where appro prate). Fraction II may be ensiled or mixed with other ingredients and fed without drying.
The mineral matter of the decanted acid water solution (M) can be precipitated by adding an appropriate alkali, such as, CaOH (preferred), barium carbonate, alumanium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, strontium car- bonate, calcium carbonate, zinc hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide or lithium hydroxide.
Any hydroxide or carbonate of an alkaLi metal or alkaline earth metal can be used. The pre cipitate is dried to obtain its mineral content, and the water lieft over the precipitation can be re-used in the process.
As stated above the acidification may be adjusted to an appropriate level, e.g. to 5 pH in order to elinjinate Salmonella. Most of the bacteria will also be eliminated at such a pH, but there are, as is well known, certain bacteria which requires a lower pH for their elirnmtion.
The recovery of the valuable fibre and protein fractions, after having obtained the water soluble salts, can be achieved by using any suitable or conventional recovery methods, so this invention is not limited to the sirring, settling and decanting procedures described above.
The process according to this invention may be carried out on a continuous basis, rather by that the batch system described above, by circulating acidified water through a continuous flow of manure feed.
If the aoidified solution is added to a droppings pit or settling tank in connection with confinement reared swine, poultry or oattle, the prooess can become continuous with the advantage that higher oxygen concentration in the animals' mioro-environnent and the reduction of pathogens result from the acidification process.
This improves (1) animal performance and the human environment and (2) permits the harvest of nutritionally enhanced and patho- gen4ree material as described above.
The acidification of bedding or litter mat- erial for animals would also contribute the above advantages as well as prepare the manure for further extraction as described above.

A process for producing an animal feed ingredient from animal manure, comprising: admixing an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid and either wet or dry manure, the acid and basic minerals contained in the manure chemically reacting to fom soluble salts, the acid being admixed with the manure in at least an amount sufficient to achieve a desired degree of sterilization ob the manure and a slurry containing solids and having an acidic aqueous phrase being formed; and recovering the solids from the slurry, the solids being separated into inorganic material and organic material, the organic material being the animal feed ingredient.
