Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of temperature on the biodegradation and settlement properties of municipal solid waste by using bioreactors. Three kinds of controlled temperature were performed during the biodegradation test; the variation of weight, leachate and biogas production were carefully monitored. The degradation test indicated that more leachate leaked out owing to the external compression and polymer hydrolysis reaction in the aerobic phase, which could lead to the decrease of biodegradation rate in the anaerobic phase. A proper temperature range in favour of enhancing biodegradation of refuse was obtained, which ranged from 22 °C to 45 °C. Finally, an empirical equation of biodegradation ratio was proposed, which incorporated the temperature effect. In the end, the validation of this proposed model is verified, and is proved to be reasonable for predicting degradation velocity in landfills.
