Estudo do comportamento de um bioreator de RSU através dos parâmetros físico-químicos na cidade de Campina Grande – PB.

Abstract

All over the world, with a few exceptions, the final destination of urban solid waste are landfills (Urban Solid Waste - USW). A dump is suitable for receiving waste from domestic origin, what’s swept from public roads and commercial areas. A way to monitor the behavior of these landfills is using lysimeters, which are cells for experimental amount of waste. With liquid and gas drainage systems, the lysimeter provides information of different parameters under known and/or controlled conditions. In this context, this assignment evaluates the behavior of urban solid waste deposited in experimental cells (lysimeter). This all happens throughout an interrelationship of physical, chemical and biological events that occur during the process of biodegradation. In the early stages of research, tests were performed for the determination and classification of soil in order to use the layers as a basic coverage. During the second stage, physical and chemical analyses are being done to quantify and compare the parameters obtained with existing records. These parameters can serve as a basis for projects adapted to regional conditions and is also used for the development and/or application of mathematical models.
