Abstract

The aim of this research work was to determine the molecular compositional changes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) taken from different phases of the hyperthermophilic composting (HTC) process. The DOM samples were extracted by the standard protocol of C18 extraction methodology, and then analyzed by electrospray ionization coupled with Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS). The profiles of negative ion mass spectrum and DOM molecular formulas of four compost samples were reported. Data related to the molecular compositional changes of DOM during HTC were also presented. Further interpretation and discussion on these datasets can be found in the related article entitled "Molecular insights into the transformation of dissolved organic matter during hyperthermophilic composting using ESI FT-ICR MS" [1].

Keywords: DOM transformation; FT-ICR MS; HTC; Molecular compound; Molecular formula.
