Compost stability was quantified using dissolved oxygen (D. 0.) respirometry during composting of municipal solid waste (MSW) in a pilot-scale system. Changes in stability of samples taken at various times during the composting process were verified with chemical and physical tests. Rates of change of oxygen level in air over a compost sample incubated in a flask at 37°C were converted to a rat...

A highly sensitive respirometric method is presented that allows real-time monitoring of reaction rates involving H 2 and O during electrochemical polarization. The measurement approach based on simultaneous the changes in total pressure partial inside a closed chamber. Hence, it possible to quantify resulting from reactions such as HER, ORR OER function applied potential. As result, deconvolut...

We investigated the conventional characterisation and biological treatability of wastewaters of the “Izmit Industrial and Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant”. Respirometric procedures were carried out for the experimental assessment of organic contents of wastewater. The mean value of total COD was 1201 mg·l-1 and varied within a wide range of 580 to 1822 mg·l-1 for the 14 different influents....
