Abstrakt: Landfill is a significant source of atmospheric CH 4 and CO 2 emissions. In this study, four landfill reactor systems were constructed to investigate the effects of different ventilation methods, including continuous aeration (20 h d -1 ) and intermittent aeration (continuous aeration for 4 h d -1 and 2 h of aeration every 12 h, twice a day), on properties of landfilled waste and emissions of CH 4 and CO 2 , in comparison to a traditional landfill. Compared with continuous aeration, intermittent aeration could reduce the potential global warming effect of the CH 4 and CO 2 emissions, especially multiple intermittent aeration. The CH 4 and CO 2 emissions could be predicted by the multiple linear regression model based on the contents of carbon, sulfur and/or pH during landfill stabilization. Both intermittent and continuous aeration could enhance the methane oxidation activity of landfilled waste. The aerobic methane oxidation activity of landfilled waste reached the maximums of 50.77-73.78 μg g -1 h -1 after aeration for 5 or 15 d, which was higher than the anaerobic methane oxidation activity (0.45-1.27 μg g -1 h -1 ). CO 2 was the predominant form of organic carbon loss in the bioreactor landfills. Candidatus Methylomirabilis, Methylobacter, Methylomonas and Crenothrix were the main methane-oxidating microorganisms (MOM) in the landfills. Total, NO 2 - -N, pH and Fe 3+ were the main environmental variables influencing the MOM community, among which NO 2 - -N and pH had the significant impact on the MOM community. Partial least squares path modelling indicated that aeration modes mainly influenced the emissions of CH 4 and CO 2 by affecting the degradation of landfilled waste, environmental variables and microbial activities. The results would be helpful for designing aeration systems to reduce the emissions of CH 4 and CO 2 , and the cost during landfill stabilization.
