Abstract
Abstract Anaerobic livestock manure, comprising an admixture of feces and urine, is deodorized by topically applying onto the manure an aqueous deodorizing-mixture of a suitable iodine ingredient and an oxidizing agent. Preferably, the aqueous deodorizing-mixture comprises elemental iodine, potassium iodide, and alkaline hypochlorite oxidizing agent which has a long term shelf life. For urine-deficient manure piles, wherein urine has been pumped or otherwise removed from the manure feces, the deodorizing-mixture product desirably further contains non-urinary ammoniacal material, such as ammonium nitrate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
Method for deodorizing livestock manure consisting of urine-deficient feces, said method comprising the following steps: A. making a deodorizing-mixture comprising in aqueous medium an iodous-ingredient including therein elemental iodine and potassium iodide, alkaline hypochlorite oxidizing agent for said iodous-ingredient, and ammonium nitrate; and B. topically applying the said deodorizing-mixture substantially evenly over the livestock manure to deodorize same.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
58 words
Method for deodorizing livestock manure consisting of urine-deficient feces, said method comprising the following steps: A. making a deodorizing-mixture comprising in aqueous medium an iodous-ingredient including therein elemental iodine and potassium iodide, alkaline hypochlorite oxidizing agent for said iodous-ingredient, and ammonium nitrate; and B. topically applying the said deodorizing-mixture substantially evenly over the livestock manure to deodorize same.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
The method of claim 1 wherein making the deodorizing-mixture comprises the steps of: (i) dissolving about 45 parts by weight each of elemental iodine and potassium iodide into at least 1,000 parts by weight water to provide an iodous-solution, and (ii) dissolving about 4,500 parts by weight calcium hypochlorite as said alkaline hypochlorite and about 450 parts by weight ammonium nitrate into at least 15,000 parts by weight water.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A deodorizing-mixture for deodorizing livestock manure consisting of urine-deficient feces, said deodorizing-mixture comprising an aqueous mixture of iodous-ingredient including therein elemental iodine and potassium iodide, an oxidizing agent for said iodous-ingredient, and ammonium nitrate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A deodorizing-mixture for deodorizing livestock manure consisting of urine-deficient feces, said deodorizing-mixture comprising an aqueous mixture of iodous-ingredient including therein elemental iodine and potassium iodide, an oxidizing agent for said iodous-ingredient, and ammonium nitrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The deodorizing-mixture of claim 3 wherein calcium hypochlorite comprises said oxidizing agent.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The aqueous deodorizing-mixture of claim 4 comprising about 45 parts by weight each of elemental iodine and potassium iodide, about 4,500 parts by weight calcium hypochlorite, and at least about 16,000 parts by weight water.
