Abstract:
Detailed characterisation of the leaching behaviour of Mechanically Separated Organic Residue (MSOR) and the rest product after degradation in a lysimeter (ca. 0.2 m3), and in a full-scale bioreactor (38.000 m3) demonstration has been carried out. This characterisation has yielded valuable new insights in how to manage this material. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) at neutral pH can be used as a quick method to identify status of degradation. The Acid Neutralisation Capacity (ANC) shows that long term pH stability of the material can be ensured. Furthermore, evaluation of the leaching behaviour of individual constituents provides means to improve quality. After degradation, material with soil-like leaching characteristics remains. Measures to improve the morphological aspects could lead to a reusable product.
