Abstract
Urine discharged from domestic animals is stored in a reservoir, filtered to separate solid and liquid components, and sent to one or more treating tanks. Various rocks and soil humus are added to the treatment tank, which is aerated to accelerately produce humus and to cause proliferation of soil microorganisms in the wastes. The rocks are added to serve as catalysts for the bioreactions. As a result, the soil microorganisms that contribute to humus production are markedly activated, and the liquid waste is quickly and efficiently detoxified and rendered odorless. The resultant aqueous solution contains high concentrations of activated soil microorganisms and their metabolic products which can be used as an agricultural material.
Claims4
A method for treating liquid wastes of domestic animals consisting essentially of urine, which comprises mixing said liquid wastes with soil humus, bioreacting the mixture with aeration in the presence of igneous rocks selected from the group consisting of andesite, basalt, granite, rhyolite, and peridotite, and soil humus in order to accelerate the metabolic activities of the soil microorganisms, and extracting a liquid component containing activated soil microorganisms and their metabolic products from the mixture.
A method for treating liquid wastes of domestic animals consisting essentially of urine, comprising
- raising the domestic animals using as their drinking water water having dissolved therein useful minerals from rocks and soil microorganisms, prepared by mixing in water a plurality of igneous rocks selected from the group consisting of andesite, basalt, granite, rhyolite, and peridotite, and soil humus with aeration,
- collecting liquid wastes consisting essentially of urine from the domestic animals using said drinking water, and
- mixing with said liquid wastes consisting essentially of urine a plurality of igneous rocks selected from the group consisting of andesite, basalt, granite, rhyolite, and peridotite, and soil humus for activating the soil microorganisms and converting the mixture by bioreaction with aeration into an aqueous solution containing activated microorganisms and their metabolic by-products.
