The potential for aeration of MSW landfills to accelerate completion

Monitoring transitory profiles of leachate humic substances in landfill aeration reactors in mesophilic and thermophilic conditions

“…This provides more immediate benefits, such as the rapid reduction of biological oxygen demand (BOD), ammonia, methane and odor compounds [4,[6][7][8]. In the long term, landfill stabilization is achieved more rapidly by an factor of 2 ~ 4, thereby lowering the cost for post closure care, and eventually earlier beneficial reuse of the land may be possible [6,9,10].…”

“…Landfill waste carries varied characters and reacts differently to the external stimuli at its different periods of time [16,21]. In this regard, the incept time of aeration is of great significance for success in landfill treatment [10]. However, little research to date has provided the sound evidences about the effects of waste age on aeration, and thus the right time to start aeration.…”

Effect of aerobic pretreatment of waste on the rate of anaerobic treatment processes

“…An additional benefit resulting from using aerobic biostabilization is a reduction in the time of pollutant emissions, due to faster development of the stable methane conditions in landfills [3,12,14,15].…”

Enhanced performance of the aerobic landfill reactor by augmentation of manganese peroxidase

“…For example, aerobic waste cells are more suited for remote locations and small scale landfills. Recent trends in hybrid anaerobic/aerobic landfills have prompted new research in aerobic landfilling technologies (Rich et al, 2008). Several experimental studies have demonstrated the viability of operating waste cells as aerobic bioreactors to accelerate waste decomposition to a level where the cell could be mined (Read et al, 2001;Ko et al, 2013).…”
