DEVELOPMENT OF A PROTOCOL FOR ORGANIC WASTE CHARACTERIZATION OF MSW B.F.A. BASNAYAKE, S.N.M. MENIKPURA, K.P.K. JAYAKODY AND A.S.H.CHANDRASENA Department of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka
SUMMARY: The waste characterization is becoming an important issue to reduce the organic loadings on the environment causing pollution. Anaerobic leaching columns were selected from among other methods as the most suitable technique to provide reliable data for subsequent analysis using Monod models and Michaelis-Menten kinetic theory. The later gave accurate values of maximum rate of reactions (Vm) with increasing in values for garden < mixed< fish & meat
