Hiri-hondakinen balorizazioa digestio anaerobioaren bidez

Abstract

The amount of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) is annually increasing worldwide. Therefore, a suitable municipal solid waste management is one of the main concerns of our society. Furthermore, the environmental problems derived from the use of fossil fuels are outstanding, together with the depletion of this energy source. Anaerobic digestion (AD)is one of the most promising management methods, which is considered as a rewenable energy source, as energy (biogas) is produced after treating the MSWs. In this work we analyse the AD method for the valorization of the organic fraction of MSWs. First, the problematic of solid wastes and different ways for their management are reported. Secondly, the basis of AD are established, which consists of four steps. Finally, the effect of operating conditions and the different digestion systems are analysed.
