RESUMO

This thesis studied the influence of the leachate recirculation, adjusting to the best rates and frequencies, for degradation of the organic fraction of the urban solid wastes, in one and two-phases (hybrid) system. Bioreactors of 3.45 L were used and filled out with OFMSW pattern, leachate as seed and an anaerobic filter as methanogenic reactor. The performance of the reactors was analyzed varying recirculation rates (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 50 % in volume of seed). Leachate samples from these reactors were examined through microscopical examinations and physical-chemical analyses to evaluate its performance. The reactor with 20% recirculation rate, got larger efficiency in the departure, methane production and percentage of solid degradation, compared to the others reactors. In the second stage, three 50L digesters were operated and fed with standard OFMSW with the best recirculation rates of the first stage and the best rate obtained in Salgado (2003). A bioreactor simulated the acidogenic reactor of a two-phase system, in which 20% of its seed was injected in anaerobic filter (with hydraulic detention time of 24 hours). Another system, with 10% of recirculation rate of leachate was operated in a one-phase reactor. Once more bioreactor, inoculated like others, however, without any recirculation were studied to compare with one and two-phase reactor. The two-phase system confirmed that the 20% recirculation rate, compared to the others reactors, obtained better efficiency with high methane production and solid degradation. The microscopical examinations in the leachate samples from this reactor presented predominance of organisms with characteristical morphology from Methanococcus and Methanosarcina. It was concluded that the leachate recirculation has significant influence in the degradation of organic matter bioreactors. The kinetic study confirmed that the anaerobic process for OFMSW proceed the in series kinetics, with high constants values of first order
