Modeling of substrate degradation and oxygen consumption in waste composting processes

Abstract

A multi-component modeling system was developed to simulate substrate degradation and oxygen consumption in waste composting processes. Levels of soluble substrate (Ss), insoluble substrate (Si), active biomass (X), inert material, moisture, temperature, and oxygen concentration were considered as state variables. The relationships among these variables were also incorporated within the modeling framework. Three conversion reactions, including …
