Abstract
The emissions of ammonia (NH3) are rising, which is causing a variety of problems within the environment. This could cause a decrease in human and animal health. Ammonia is produced when urine and faeces are in contact. Research has shown that the separation of animal urine and faeces is possible in barns. The rising ammonia emissions are a great motivation to separate the urine from the faeces in barns. Another aspect that can help aid the motivation for such systems is that hippuric acid can be extracted out of cow urine. This hippuric acid can then be used in the chemical industry. This project aims to optimize the extraction of hippuric acid from cow urine using the technique of Liquid/Liquid Extraction. Experiments are performed using hippuric acid dissolved in water which resulted in 91.9% of hippuric acid being extracted from the initial sample while 53.4% is extracted to the final water phase using back extraction. Using the parameters determined during the initial stage of research, experiments were performed using cow urine. This resulted in 52.4% of hippuric acid being extracted out of the cow urine while 28.1% of the hippuric acid was extracted to the final water phase.
