Influence of Recycling Different Leachate Volumes on Refuse Anaerobic Degradation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work was to determine the appropriate moisture regime, attained by leachate recycling, to achieve the highest municipal solid waste (MSW) biodegradation rate. To this end, leachate characteristics, methane production rate and changes in degraded refuse were studied. Twenty laboratory-scale bioreactors were loaded with MSW from the landfill of Pátzcuaro (Mexico), four were used as controls and sixteen were operated under leachate recycling to achieve moisture content regimes (%MC) of 50, 60, 70 and 80%, bioreactors operated for 264 days. Hydrolysis, acidogenic and methanogenic phases were determined and studied. ANOVA and Tukey’s HDS tests revealed significant differences in leachate concentration characteristics when using different recycling volumes. Maximum methane production rate was found in the 70% MC regime, whereas the highest volume was found to produce a wash out effect in the refuse matrix. Also, the highest total volatile solids removal was found in the solid phase of the 70% MC regime.

Degradation of Refuse in Hybrid Bioreactor Landfill1
Objective To explore the process of refuse decomposition in hybrid bioreactor landfill. Methods The bioreactor landfill was operated in sequencing of facultative-anaerobic and aerobic conditions with leachate recirculation. pH, COD, and ammonia in the leachate and pH, biodegradable organic matter (BDM), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) in refuse were detected. Results CEC increased gradually ...
متن کاملDistributed model of solid waste anaerobic digestion: effects of leachate recirculation and pH adjustment.
A distributed model of solid waste digestion in a 1-D bioreactor with leachate recirculation and pH adjustment was developed to analyze the balance between the rates of polymer hydrolysis/acidogenesis and methanogenesis during the anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste (MSW). The model was calibrated on previously published experimental data generated in 2-L reactors filled with shredded ...

Backgrounds and Objectives:A number of different technologies have recently been studied todetermine the best use of biogas, however, to choose optimize technologies of using biogas for energy recovery it is necessary to monitor and predict the methane percentage of biogas. In this study, a method is proposed for predicting the methane fraction in landfill gas originating from Labscalelandfill ...
متن کاملMethane Production from Municipal Solid Waste
Introduction Archaeological investigations of landfills have revealed that biodegradable wastes can be found — virtually intact — 25 years after burial. We know that landfills contain bacteria with the metabolic capability to degrade many of the materials that are common components of municipal refuse. The persistence for decades of degradable materials in the presence of such organisms appears...
