Abstract

The present study investigates the characteristics of the different organic waste obtained from dumping sites of the Campus of the university and Okhla region of Delhi. Three types of wastes; kitchen waste (KW), Food vegetable waste (FVW) and Garden waste (GW) were used for batch scale anaerobic digestion study. The prepared slurry was analyzed for pH, Alkalinity, Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total solids (TS), and Volatile solids (VS). The results shows the initial characteristics ranges; pH 6.70 to 7.70; COD 1900 to 3000 mg/L, TS- 9.8 to 15.23 %, VS 79.2 to 85.70 %. The maximum COD = 86% and VS =44.32 % was removed with FVW and KW, respectively. The maximum biogas 3500 mL was observed when FVW was digested with Cow dung.
