Claim Text:
1. A process for reducing ammonia loss and odor from organic material or waste to the atmosphere, comprising feeding air or contaminated air to an electric arc, electrostatic field, Nano pulsed electric field, dielectric barrier discharged, laser, radio- or micro-wave driven plasma generator, or any combination thereof, to produce a concentration of 0.1-12% by volume of NOx in the air by direct nitrogen fixation and subsequent quenching to between 60° C. and 150° C. within 10 feeding the air containing NOx to an absorber, and absorbing the NOx into an absorption liquid in the absorber operating at a temperature between 20° C. and 80° C. to form an acidic nitrogen solution comprising nitrates and nitrites; and feeding the acidic nitrogen solution to the organic material or waste whereby the pH is adjusted to 4-6 and the nitrates and nitrites bind volatile ammonia and ammonia components in or from the organic material or waste, as ammonium nitrate and nitrite salts.
