In-situ Ammonia Removal Of Leachate From Bioreactor Landfills
… waste management is to operate the landfill as a bioreactor. Bioreactor landfills are controlled systems in which moisture addition and/or air injection are used as enhancements to create a solid waste environment capable of actively degrading the biodegradable organic fraction of the waste. …

Effects of Temperature on Anaerobic Lignin Degradation in Bioreactor Landfills
Bioreactor landfills have become a feasible alternative to the typical "dry tomb" landfill. By recirculating leachate and/or adding additional liquid wastes, bioreactor landfills operate to rapidly degrade and transform organic wastes. The reactions within a bioreactor landfill create elevated …

Effect of sugar waste, surfactant waste and paint waste on the degradation of anaerobic bioreactor landfill components
Anaerobic bioreactor landfills are the landfills with an increased moisture content in order to achieve a better biodegradation. Many Bioreactor landfills accept outside liquid wastes to achieve a higher moisture content . But the effect of these wastes on the degradation of landfill components is …

The Effect of Temperature on Lignin Degradation in Municipal Solid Waste
… are the major constituents found in US landfills. Typically paper consists of 79% to 98% of lignocellulose which is considered to be the most abundant source of natural carbon on earth. Lignocellulose decomposition depends on the association of biodegradable cellulose and hemicellulose …

Evaluation of Stability Parameters for Landfills
There are more than three thousand landfills in the United States, in which approximately 55% (1998, U. S. EPA 1999) of the MSW generated in the US is buried. The majority of the landfills are conventional, but in the last two decades new types of landfills, called leachate recycle and bioreactor …

Facultative Bioreactor Landfill: An Environmental and Geotechnical Study
… of Municipal Solid Waste treatment is known as bioreactor landfill technology. Bioreactor landfills are sanitary landfills that use microbiological processes purposefully to transform and stabilize the biodegradable organic waste constituents in a shorter period of time. One of the most popular …

Biochemical Lignin Related Processes in Landfills
… study was to determine how the key features of bioreactor landfills; increased temperature, moisture and microbial activity, affect the biological stability of the landfill material. In the first part of the study the solubilization and degradation of lignin in paper exposed to these bioreactor …

Effect of liquid waste addition on the overall performance of anaerobic bioreactor landfill
… 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 …

Solid Waste Degradation, Compaction and Water Holding Capacity
Bioreactor landfills offer a sustainable way to achieve increased waste degradation along with benefits such as enhanced landfill gas (LFG) recovery, reduction in leachate pollution potential and rapid increase in landfill volumetric capacity. It also offers significant reduction in post closure …

Modeling biodegradation settlement of municipal solid waste (msw) based on measurement of landfill gas and degradable solids in leachate recirculated bioreactors
… solid waste (MSW) in leachate recirculated bioreactors, and 2) to create a realistic predictive model based on this understanding which is capable of supporting a laboratory-to-field relationship for bioreactor landfills. Biodegradation is best described by loss of mass; however, primary …

Enhanced Biodegradation in Landfills
… the effectiveness of leachate recirculation and bioreactor landfills at enhancing biodegradation, and to optimize the operation of a bioreactor. Waste Management has been examining leachate recirculation landfills for several years. Samples of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) from existing leachate …

Effect of plastics on the lignin results for MSW and the fate of lignin in laboratory solid waste reactors
… associated with wet conditions in sediments and bioreactor landfills. In this study, it has been found that the typical measure of lignin, a gravimetric measure, also includes plastics, leading to erroneous measures of both lignin and the cellulose/lignin (C/L) ratio. Typically, 100% of the …
