[Experimental study on methane potentials of source-separated BMW and individual waste materials].

A laboratory procedure is described for measuring methane potentials of source-separated bio-organic municipal waste (BMW). Triplicate reactors with about 20 grams fresh material were incubated at 37 degrees C with 300 mL inoculum from Shenyang wastewater treatment plant and the methane production was followed over a 50 d period by regular measurement of methane on a gas chromatograph. At 37 degrees C, the methane production efficiency of source-separated BMW and individual waste materials was: starch > BMW > protein > food oil > fat > paper.

[PAHs of source separation household organic waste and composting production].

Composing treatments of source separation (SS) household bio-organic waste and straw mixed in 10:1, 16 kinds of PAHs in source separation household bio-organic waste and compost production were determined by gas chromatograph/mass spectrograph (GC-MS) according to U.S.EPA 8270 standard method.
