Description 451-459
Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emission from landfills ranks as the third major source of anthropogenic emission. It has been observed that atmospheric CH<sub>4</sub> concentration is more than doubled in last 150 years.CH<sub>4</sub> has 23 times more global warming potential (GWP) than that of carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>). Therefore, the growth and field application of cost-effective techniques are essential for decreasing the rate of CH<sub>4</sub> emissions from landfills to minimize the associated risk of global warming and human health. Microbial oxidation of CH<sub>4</sub> has been universally observed in a variety of biomitigation system. The present paper attempts to describe the key issues linked with CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation process in landfill biocover and the underlying kinetics of CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation. Influence of several controlling parameters, such as CH<sub>4</sub> and oxygen concentration, properties of the cover material, temperature, moisture, pH on CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation in landfill biocover system is also discussed.
