Influence of Aeration Modes on Aerobic Bio-Drying of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

Article Preview

Abstract:

The process of biodrying could be a good solution for municipal solid waste management, allowing the production of fuel with an interesting energy content. In this study, bio-drying the mixed municipal solid waste (with the size among 15-80 mm) with different aeration modes were conducted. During the experiment, temperature, oxygen content and moisture content were determined, and continuous measurements of H2S and CH4 were taken. The results indicated that the thermophilic phases of all treatments beside T1 were met the Chinese standard of >55°C for 5-7 days for sanitation. The aeration mode of T4 was in favor of reduced the H2S and CH4 emission during MSW bio-drying. Under the condition of this study, the bio-drying cycle should be determined for 18 days. Intermittent ventilation mode is more effective to reduce the moisture content in MSW bio-drying process. So the aeration mode of T4 (2.0L/min, 30min run/30 min stop) was the first choice during MSW bio-drying.
