A Hybrid Two-Stage Model for Municipal Solid Waste Biodegradation: Framework Development and Validation

Abstract

Abstract This study presents a hybrid two-stage model for municipal solid waste biodegradation that integrates key features of both two-stage and multistage models. The proposed model incorporates a separate pH submodule and gas partitioning to more ... Practical Applications As waste decomposes in landfills, it produces landfill gas, liquid by-products, and long-term settlement of the waste mass. Predicting these changes accurately is important for improving methane recovery, planning infrastructure, ...
