Abstract:
An organic waste treatment process, for treating pathogen containing organic sludge and producing pathogen free liquid acidic fertilizer. Concentrated sulfuric acid is added to the organic sludge on a one-to-one basis with solids contained within the sludge. The concentrated sulfuric acid reacts with the organic sludge to neutralize pathogens by carbonizing the sludge, pasteurizing the sludge through heat of hydration, and chemically disinfecting the sludge through the production of sulfur dioxide. An efficient acidic liquid fertilizer is created by neutralizing the pathogens, by reacting with phospholipids and proteins to create phosphoric acid and nitric acid, and by a reduction in mass and volume through the production of waste gases that are allowed to escape.
