Effect of liquid waste addition on the overall performance of anaerobic bioreactor landfill
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of high organic liquid wastes on the overall performance of anaerobic bioreactor landfills is not known. In this study three different liquid wastes were added to mix of office paper, newspaper, cardboard and plastic in 3 different concentrations under anaerobic conditions to determine their effect on degradation of organics. The addition of buffer chemicals was found to improve degradation compared to data from an earlier study done without the addition of initial buffering. Paint waste with a COD 237,500 mg/L added at a concentration of 10% did not show any negative effect on the overall performance. The distillation waste with a COD of 812,500 mg/L added at 5% and higher concentration resulted in accumulation of volatile fatty acids and strong inhibition. The surfactant waste added at concentrations up to 1500 mg/L showed some inhibition but the overall performance was good. The surfactant waste also appeared to improve lignin degradation.

Optimization Of the Anaerobic Digestion Of Solid Waste By Addition of Leachate
The GEEB Team of the University of Reunion directed this research towards the optimization of the anaerobic digestion of solid and liquid waste by injection of leachate. The objectives are to assess the performances of this type of process (to accelerate the process of biological breakdown) and to require a better control of the physicochemical mechanisms involved. During anaerobic digestion, t...
متن کاملImprovement of Waste Decomposition in Leachate Recirculation Simulated Landfill by High Water Addition
A considerable amount of research has been conducted to demonstrate the development of bioreactor landfills promoted by leachate recirculation [1-10]. The effectiveness of leachate recirculation has been well documented in lysimeter studies [1, 5, 11, 12], test cell studies [2, 13, 14-16] and full-scale studies [17-20]. However, the results from these investigations might not be applied appropr...

This study investigated the effect, on reactor performance and biomass retention inside the bed, of the material used to make the supports of anaerobic fixed-bed reactors. Three inert supports of similar shape but made of three different materials polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, high-density polyethylene were manufactured and used. All three supports had the same specific surface area but di...
متن کاملNumerical model to predict settlements coupled with landfill gas pressure in bioreactor landfills.
Landfills settle due to its weight and biodegradation of waste. Biodegradation-induced settlement is a direct result of rearrangement of waste skeleton in response to the conversion of waste mass into landfill gases. Traditionally, the compressibility index based on settlement of clays is used to explain the settlement of waste. Literature review showed that there are limited research attempts ...
متن کاملEstimation of landfill gas generation in a municipal solid waste disposal site by LandGEM mathematical model
Anaerobic decomposition of organic compounds in landfills is responsible for generation of greenhouse gases. The present study aimed to determine the total gas and methane emission from a landfill located in Hamedan (west of Iran) from 2011 to 2030. LandGEM 3.02 model was used to estimate the gas emission with the volumetric methane percent of 60%, production potential of 107, and methane gener...
