Physicochemical Composition of the Household Solid Waste and Prospect for Biogas Production

Abstract

Solid waste management is now one of the big challenging issues in Bangladesh. With increasing population, volume of solid waste is increasing enormously. Production of biogas from organic solid waste is an environment friendly energy source as well as great management strategy of solid waste. The purpose of this current study is to determine the physicochemical composition of solid waste to determine the prospect of biogas production. Results reveal that, temperature and pH of the solid waste should be controlled for the maximum production of biogas. On the other hand, collected solid waste samples contained sufficient amount of moisture for the production of biogas. Appropriate temperature controlling system and buffer for pH maintenance can play a great role to maximize biogas production.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 9(2): 151-154 2016

Produção de metano via codigestão anaeróbia de efluentes das indústrias de arroz parboilizado e laticínios

“…Os microrganismos responsáveis pela degradação da matéria orgânica e a produção do biogás possuem alta sensibilidade a variações nas condições operacionais aplicadas, ou seja, a instabilidade do sistema resulta em redução da produção de biogás (MAO et al, 2015). Assim, se torna essencial o comprimento dos parâmetros do processo, dentre eles está a temperatura, que deve ser mantida em torno de 35°C para maior rendimento da produção dos gases (THAKUR et al, 2016).…”

Exploitation of Biogas Resources for Electric Vehicle Charging Station in Bangladesh

“…With increasing population, the volume of solid waste is increasing enormously which may become a good source of energy as well as a part of solid waste management. Controlling temperature and P H of the waste are the main factors of biogas production [18]. Potentiality of biogas resource facilitates the sustainable development which is analysed in a legal framework and future market situations [19].…”
