Organic acids except for ferulic acid were determined using a Prominence HPLC system and an electroconductivity detection (Shimadzu CDD-10AVP). Each shinkiku (2 g) sample was mixed with 20 mL of deionized water, homogenized at 11,000 rpm for 1 min, and then, centrifuged at 4,800 × g for 5 min to obtain a supernatant. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm pore-size cellulose acetate membrane filter. The separation of organic acids was performed using an ion-exclusion chromatography column (Shim-pack SCR-102H, 8 mm I.D. × 300 mm × 2) equipped with a Guard column (SCR-102H, 6 mm I.D. × 50 mm) at 50°C using 4 mM p-toluenesulfonic acid as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The buffer solution containing 16 mM Bis-Tris, 4 mM p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 80 μM EDTA was pumped into the column at 0.8 mL/min flow rate.

Influent and effluent BODs were analyzed by Toa Environmental Services Co., Ltd (Aichi, Japan). In this study, BOD rather than COD was determined, given that BOD is the permitted discharge water quality standard based on the regulation pertaining to sewage treatment systems in Japan. Ammonia (NH4+), nitrite (NO2), and nitrate (NO3) were quantitatively detected using an electron conductivity detector (CDD-10Avp; SHIMADZU, Kyoto, Japan) in an ion chromatograph equipped with Shim-pack IC-A3 (φ 4.6 × 150 mm; SHIMADZU) and Shim-pack IC-C4 (φ 4.6 × 150 mm; SHIMADZU) for anion and cation analyses, respectively. A mixture of 8 mM p-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3.2 mM Bis–Tris, and 50 mM boric acid was used for anion analysis, whereas a mixture of 2.5 mM oxalic acid dihydrate and 5 mM 18-crown-6 was used for cation analysis. Samples were filtered using a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (0.45 μm pore size) (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), and the filtrates were injected at 1.5 mL. TN concentration was defined as the sum of NH4+, NO2, and NO3 concentrations.

Ammonia Extraction from Chicken Manure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The solid product was dried
and weighed using an electric balance. The liquid product was analyzed
using ion chromatography to determine the ammonia concentration. The
ion chromatography apparatus was the product of Shimadzu Co., Ltd.,
Japan, and comprised a high-pressure pump LC-20AD, a column oven CTO-20A,
and an electric conductivity detector CDD-10Avp. A Shim-pack IC-C4
column was used, and 2.5 mmol/dm3 oxalic acid solution
was used as the eluent with a flow rate of 1.0 cm3/min.
The liquid phase included other nitrogen-containing compounds.
The amount of nitrogen in the liquid product was determined by the
Kjeldahl method using ion chromatography instead of titration to quantify
the recovered ammonia.
The nitrogen yield of ammonia and that
of liquid-phase nitrogen
other than ammonia was defined as the ratio of the molar amount of
nitrogen in these compounds to the molar amount of nitrogen in feedstock
chicken manure, which was the sum of nitrogen in the solid phase and
nitrogen in ammonia. The ratio of the amount of nitrogen in the original
ammonia to total nitrogen in the feedstock was 0.270 mol-N/mol-N.
This value was considered to be the initial nitrogen yield of ammonia.
Hydrothermal treatment increased this value shown in the following
sections by the decomposition of nitrogen in the solid.

The cecal SCFA concentration was determined using ion‐exclusion HPLC according to the method of Tsukahara et al. (2014). The collected cecal contents (0.05 g) were mixed with distilled water (0.1 ml) and 12% perchloric acid (v/v; 15 µl). The mixture was then centrifuged for 10 min at 4°C, 13,000 g. The supernatants were collected and filtered using a 0.45 µm cellulose acetate membrane filter (Cosmonice Filter W; Nacalai Tesque). The samples were injected into a SIL‐30AC autosampler (Shimadzu). Two serial organic columns (Shim‐pack SCR‐102H, Shimadzu) with a guard column (SCR‐ 102HG; Shimadzu) were used to separate the SCFAs, (acetic acid, butyrate acid, propionic acid, and isobutyric acid). The column conditions were set at 50°C with an isocratic elution (0.8 ml/min) of 5 mmol/L p‐toluene sulfonic acid aqueous solution using a solvent delivery pump (LC‐30AD; Shimadzu). SCFAs were detected using an electronic conductivity detector (CDD‐10Avp, Shimadzu) following postcolumn dissociation (0.8 ml/min) with 5 mmol/L p‐toluene sulfonic acid, 20 mmol/L bis‐Tris, and 100 µmol/L EDTA. SCFAs were quantified with a system controller (CBM‐20A; Shimadzu), and the concentrations of acetate, butyrate, propionate, and isobutyrate were expressed in nmol/mg wet matter.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
