- Abstract
Under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, two laboratory-scale reactors were operated. Each reactor was packed with 8.5 kg of shredded synthetic solid waste (less than 5 cm) that was prepared according to an average composition of domestic solid waste in the city of Kirkuk. Using an air compressor, aerobic conditions were created in the aerobic reactor. This study shows that the aerobic reactor was more efficient in COD and BOD5 removal which were 97.88% and 91.25% while in case of anaerobic reactor, they were 66.53%and 19.11%, respectively.
