Mathematical modeling for monitoring and controlling aerobic degradation conditions of the organic fraction of urban solid waste

Management of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste in the Context of a Sustainable and Circular Model: Analysis of Trends in Latin America and the Caribbean

“…Among the identified techniques and/or processes for treatment and/or valorization of OFMSW, the retrieved literature was classified into different categories: vermiculture, composting, anaerobic digestion, co-digestion, and waste to energy. It was possible to observe the strong preference of the studies for the usage of composting as an alternative for the treatment of OFMSW, having application also in environmental restoration [68], allowing the reduction of the amount of MSW going to landfills, thus avoiding problems of soil contamination or the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere. Waste to energy approach was also a primary strategy that enhanced the understanding of the potential of energy production should be determined from OFMSW anaerobic digestion and gas incineration from landfills as an alternative for decentralized energy production within the cities.…”
