Evaluation of Recycling System for Organic Solid Wastes Based on the Component Analysis

Abstract

The most effective component was studied in order to predict the potential of recovery resource from organic solid waste. Eight organic solid wastes were tested by three recycle methods. Three methods were the direct use as solid fuel, the methane recovery after fermentation, and the glucose recovery by enzymatic treatment, and the combination of methods was also tested. The recovery quantity of heat as solid fuel and methane can be estimated by the percentage of organic material in the waste. The glucose recovery was not high in case of enzymatic treatment and good indicator was not found for prediction of the reuse potential. However, enzymatic treatment can be used as pre-treatment for other two recycle methods. Furthermore the combination of recycle methods improved the acquired resource and reduced the waste.
