Non-linear kinetic modelling of anaerobic biodegradation of fruit and vegetable waste together with cooked oil.

Abstract:

A Huge amount of wastes is generated in Oman causes or disposas and dumping in the landfills, and leading to harming the atmosphere by emitting harmful gases into the air. The Sultanate of Oman has about 1.6 million tons of solid waste generated per year. An amount that will double by 2020. The landfill wastes generate huge amounts of leaches that percolates the soil and causes to pollute the groundwater. Though there are many regulatory bodies operating to control the environment
