This process is temperature dependent. Since CH 4 oxidation is an exothermic reaction, a higher concentration of methane releases more heat, which is beneficial for the activation of oxygen.

Currently, for regulatory purposes the USEPA has recommended a default value for landfill cover CH4 oxidation of 10% due to the uncertainty involved and the lack of a standard method to determine ...

By investigating CH4 production and oxidation potentials at 5, 17.5 and 30 °C and their drivers of 14 peatlands (representing three peatland types – bogs, poor fens, and rich fens) in Finland, the ...
