| Summary: | been performed to determine which parameters most influence biodegradation are found to be the major fate determining Composting is one of the techniques that has evolved as a data is required to quantify the slight differences observed. develop a model for determining the fate of organic compounds effect volatilization to a small extent. Air quality control fate model. Fate of six aromatic compounds which fall into hazardous compound undergoes when subjected to composting. hours. Biodegradation rates are found to have very little impact on volatilization of the compound. Air flow rate and in waste during in-vessel composting Volatilization and is determined and the results compared to the experimental loss through these processes is evaluated by developing a measures are recommended for the first few days to deal with of this technique needs careful evaluation of the processes a on model performance. The results obtained from the model processes. Following mass balance approach the compound's regulations on hazardous waste disposal. The implementation safe disposal and predisposal alternative to the stringent show close agreement with the experimental results. More the model behavior and quantitatively describe their effects The purpose of this thesis is to define these processes and The volatilization loss is found to exist only for first few the volatilization of a compound. Bulk density is found to the volatilized gases. three categories - volatile, semi-volatile, and non volatile, values for validating the model. A sensitivity analysis has volume of the waste are found to have a noticeable effect on |
