Abstract:Most of the municipal solid waste collected is disposed of in landfi lls and controlled landfi lls. However, effi cient ways of recovering these wastes have emerged, such as bio-drying. This technique uses the exothermic degradation reaction of organic matter carried out by microorganisms along with aeration to reduce the moisture of the waste. The objective of the research was to test the bio-drying technique in a rotary drum.For this purpose, three rotary drums were built, and the tested residue was syntheti… Show more
