Abstract

Abstract: More than 70% of China's municipal solid waste is disposed by landfill, which has caused lots of environmental problems, among which odor pollution is one of the most serious problems. The stench from landfills can seriously affect the daily life of nearby residents and cause a variety of diseases. Due to its wide spread and significant influence, it usually causes mass incident, and lead to bad social impact. An economical and efficient deodorant was developed in this paper. The results showed that the deodorant developed in this paper could remove 47% of ammonia gas, 40% of isobutylene and 20% of other gases with 20 min. The apparent deodorization rate in this paper is relatively low, which may be caused by the small experimental container and the continuous production of odor, the actual deodorization rate should be more than 50%. Moreover, the overall deodorization rate of the deodorant developed in this paper is higher than that of the commercial deodorant, but the cost is only 60% of that of the commercial deodorant.
