Abstract
Provided are a methane-production inhibitor capable of inhibiting methane production for a long period of time, and a method for inhibiting methane production using the composition. A methane-production inhibitor composition contains one or more compounds selected from compounds represented by formula [I] as an effective ingredient, and a method for inhibiting methane production uses the composition. (In formula [I], X represents an —OR1 group, a hydroxyl group, or a halogen atom, Y represents an —OR2 group or an —SO2R3 group, R1 represents a benzoyl group, R2 represents a methylsulfonyl group or a chloromethylsulfonyl group, and R3 represents a chloromethyl group or a hydroxymethyl group.)
Claims10
A method for inhibiting methane production, the method comprising applying a methane-production inhibitor composition to a water system or soil in which methane is generated, thereby inhibiting methane production from the water system or soil,
- wherein the methane-production inhibitor composition comprises one or more compounds selected from compounds represented by formula [I] as an effective ingredient:
- wherein X represents an —OR1 group, a hydroxyl group, or a halogen atom, Y represents an —OR2 group or an —SO2R3 group, R1 represents a benzoyl group, R2 represents a methylsulfonyl group or a chloromethylsulfonyl group, and R3 represents a chloromethyl group or a hydroxymethyl group, and
- wherein the amount of methane-production inhibitor composition applied is an amount in the range of from 50 to 5,000,000 g of the compound represented by formula [I] per 1 ha of area of the water system or soil in which methane is generated.
A method for inhibiting methane production, the method comprising mixing a methane-production inhibitor composition with feed to form a mixture, and feeding the mixture to livestock, thereby inhibiting methane production from livestock breath and excreta,
- wherein the methane-production inhibitor composition comprises one or more compounds selected from compounds represented by formula [I] as an effective ingredient:
- wherein X represents an —OR1 group, a hydroxyl group, or a halogen atom, Y represents an —OR2 group or an —SO2R3 group, R1 represents a benzoyl group, R2 represents a methylsulfonyl group or a chloromethylsulfonyl group, and R3 represents a chloromethyl group or a hydroxymethyl group.
A method for inhibiting methane production, the method comprising mixing a methane-production inhibitor composition with a compost or leaf mold material to ferment the compost or leaf mold material, thereby inhibiting methane production from a fermentation process of compost or leaf mold and from fully ripe compost or fully ripe leaf mold,
- wherein the methane-production inhibitor composition comprises one or more compounds selected from compounds represented by formula [I] as an effective ingredient:
- wherein X represents an —OR1 group, a hydroxyl group, or a halogen atom, Y represents an —OR2 group or an —SO2R3 group, R1 represents a benzoyl group, R2 represents a methylsulfonyl group or a chloromethylsulfonyl group, and R3 represents a chloromethyl group or a hydroxymethyl group.
