| Abstract |
Two sizes of landfill simulators or test cells; one set containing approximately 320 kg wet weight of municipal solid wastes (MSW) and the other set containing 2555 kg wet weight of MSW were used to measure the amount and composition of gases produced from MSW under typical landfill conditions. The relative amounts and gas compositions follow those reported by other investigators. This study demonstrates that the conditions present in the average MSW landfill are not ideal for maximum production of methane; but large quantities of methane can, nevertheless, be produced over the active decomposition period of landfilled MSW. Further studies on the effects of environmental and microbial nutritional factors on methane production in landfilled MSW are recommended. |
