Abstract
A method of treating animal manure solids comprises contacting the solids with a treatment composition comprising AlCl.nHO or Al(NO).mHO, or the residue of AlCl.nHO or Al(NO).mHO, to form a treated waste product, wherein n is from 0 to 10, and m is from 0 to 12. The treatment amount can be effective to reduce phosphorus solubility in the manure; reduce phosphorus runoff and/or phosphorus leaching from fields fertilized with manure; inhibit ammonia volatilization from the manure; flocculate solids in the manure; reduce pathogens in the manure; increase the nitrogen content in the manure; and/or reduce acid rain and PM-10s associated with the manure.
