INVESTIGATION OF INITIATING ADDITIVE EFFECT ON BIOGAS FORMATION DURING SOLID HOUSEHOLD AND MUNICIPAL WASTE DECOMPOSITION

The article is devoted to the problem of the biogas formation process during solid household and municipal waste decomposition. It is noted the necessity to ensure a constant temperature regime of biodegradation at landfills under natural conditions of waste disposal, as well as the intensification of the process itself. The results of experimental studies on the production of biogas during the decomposition of model mixtures from solid household and municipal waste in laboratory conditions in the presence of initiating additives are presented. The aim of the work is to study the effect of initiating additives on biogas formation during the biodegradation of solid household and municipal waste with the defining of the best intensifier. As a result of the research, the authors obtained results indicating the effect of dietary supplements on the formation of biogas during the organic waste decomposition. The factors that affect the process of mixtures biodegradation are revealed, proving the validity of the use of initiating additives, as well as the use of landfills of solid household and municipal waste of a new design.
