Abstract: A method and system for collecting gaseous nitrogen compounds into an aqueous solution are provided. The method enables the combination of gaseous sulfur and nitrogen compounds in the aqueous solution to generate ammonium compound components, to include ammonium sulfate. Sulfur may be pressure injected into the solution as gaseous sulfur dioxide. Optionally, carbon may be introduced into the solution as gaseous carbon dioxide. The sulfur may be earlier sourced by a burning of a sulfurous solid. The pH of the solution may be monitored and the introduction of ammonia, carbon and/or sulfur may be halted or constrained while the pH of the solution is measured outside of specified range. The solution may be allowed to age to permit a mix of compounds of ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbomate to restabilize and thereby encourage a renewed surge of ammonium sulfate generation.

Abstract: An aerobic composting process for producing an organic ammonium sulfate product is provided, including providing an enclosed composting apparatus for decomposition of a source of nitrogen; mixing said source of nitrogen with a source of carbon, thereby creating a biomass having a high solids content; moving said biomass down the composting trench as the aerobic composting process progresses; providing aerobic bacteria to highly selectively convert the available nitrogen compounds from said biomass into NH3 and/or NH4 and CO2 without addition of external heat; capturing the NH3 and/or NH4 and CO2 from the atmosphere of the composting apparatus in an aqueous solution; adding a source of sulfate to said aqueous solution containing captured NH3 and/or NH4 and CO2; and processing said aqueous solution containing a source of sulfate and captured NH3 and/or NH4 and CO2 to obtain preferrably organic ammonium polycarbonate and/or solid or concentrated liquid ammonium sulfate product.
