To date, no attempts have been made to predict the percent of CH4 oxidation within landfill cover soils using an ANN. This paper presents modeling of CH4 oxidation in landfill cover soil using ANN based on field measurements data under tropical climate conditions in Malaysia. The proposed ANN oxidation model can be used to predict the percentage of CH4 oxidation from other landfills with similar climate conditions, cover soil texture, and other properties. The predicted value of CH4 oxidation can be used in conjunction with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) First Order Decay (FOD) model by landfill operators to accurately estimate total CH4 emission and how much it contributes to global warming. 相似文献
