“…The steady growth of industrial production and trade in many countries of the world has led to a rapid increase in the generation of municipal and industrial waste in the last decade [1]. About 50% of the waste generated worldwide consists of organic matter, generally from food, human and animal waste, garden and wood products [2]. A significant portion of this waste ends up in landfills and, if not properly treated, can pose a significant threat to the environment and human health [3].…”

“…Composting is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective substitute for processing organic waste and converting it into organic fertilizer. It is a biological process in which the polymeric waste materials contained in organic waste are degraded by the accelerated growth of fungi and bacteria [2,7]. In fact, it is a very complicated mechanism involving a variety of processes (microbiological, physicochemical and thermodynamic), all of which seem to be interrelated [8].…”

“…In the first-order models, the degradation rate is related to the concentration of composting substrates (Haug, 1993). The first-order models are simple and easy because it only requires a single rate coefficient, which makes the first-order models the most prominent one (Walling et al, 2020). However, the first-order models cannot illustrate the effect of other factors on degradation rate, such as spatial distribution of substrates, decreasing availability of substrates, and concentration of microbial biomass (Haug, 1993;Mason, 2006;Wu et al, 2011).…”

“…Over the past decades, many research papers about heat generated from composting have been published (Allain, 2007;Ge et al, 2020;Hess et al, 2004;Liang et al, 2003;Sokolovs et al, 2015;Themelis, 2005;Wu et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2020;Yu et al, 2020;Yu et al, 2019). There are only several review papers relating to heat (Ajmal et al, 2020;Mason, 2006;Walling et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2017). These reviews have studied: 1) the mathematical models of composting process, including models of energy balance and mass balance (Ajmal et al, 2020;Mason, 2006;Walling et al, 2020); 2) different heat recovery data and different heat recovery methods.…”
