In this research, the degradation of lignocellulosic material (burial waste) was investigated in similated landfill column reactors under sulfidogenic, methanogenic and aerobic confitions. Vial batch experienmts were also carried out in order to get a better insight of the reactor performance and the degradation processes. This batch study focused on the degradation of (ligno)cellulosic material of different forms, i.e.,rice, newspaper, office paper, filter paper and (rice + newspaper) under sulfidogenic and methanogenic conditions. From the extensive experimental results of this reserch, the total gas production was higher in methanogenic and aerobic reactor. the higher burial waste degradations in sulfidogenic condition further illustrates the benefits of sulfate reduction as a landfill management option for promoting a higher and more rapid waste stabilization.
