Description
Bio-oxidation of Disorderly Released LFG in Landfill Cover and Functional Microbial Communities" offers a vital exploration into managing landfill gas (LFG) emissions, crucial in mitigating the global greenhouse effect. This book addresses the need for effective bioremediation strategies in landfills, particularly under the alarming scenario of over 27,000 informal landfill sites in China and more worldwide. Structured into seven insightful chapters, the book begins with selecting optimal cover materials for methane bio-oxidation in landfills. It then progresses to modeling oxygen consumption flux in landfill covers, essential for predicting methane oxidation capacity. The third chapter introduces innovative real-time monitoring of methane oxidation, employing MiSeq pyrosequencing for an in-depth analysis of bacterial communities. The subsequent chapters delve into the dynamics of methane oxidation in the presence of pollutants, the microbial community structures in landfill soils, and their activities under stress. The concluding section highlights the role of vegetation in enhancing methane oxidation, offering a multi-omics perspective on rhizosphere microorganisms. Drawing from extensive research, the authors present practical bioremediation strategies, applicable globally. The content, derived from the authors' research papers, is meticulously organized, aiming to control unregulated LFG emissions and manage unsanitary landfills effectively. This book is an invaluable resource for environmental scientists, engineers, and policy-makers. It bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, marking a significant contribution to environmental m
