Inerts Estimation.
Figure 4 shows the results of estimated
inerts compared with that measured. High correlations were
observed between the estimated inerts and the measured inert residues. Although the specific inerts composition of each waste was unknown, a reasonable inerts composition was estimated during the procedure development and resulted in high correlation with the measurements. Estimated and measured inerts even matched for wastes that have more inert fractions, such as grass and poultry manure. Thus, the developed procedure can accurately
estimate inert fractions to assess waste treatment and handling of treated wastes.
