Comparison of temperature and oxygen concentration driven aeration methods for biodrying of municipal solid waste

In this study, we used a model bio drying reactor to optimize the of municipal solid waste (MSW). Two methods aeration were used: one involved controlling concentration oxygen (16–20%) and other temperature in upper part (temperature 42–45 °C, 16– 20%). terms moisture content, highest increase recorded was 0.94% decrease 27.54%. The lower calorific value 9.23% 41.12%. energy balance all trial runs positive. We noted that using different concentrations is strongly influenced by organic content. Thus, it suitable only for wastes with known stable compositions. outcomes ambient relative air humidity. Moisture gradients, which are often described literature, not consistently reproduced study.
