Properties prediction of torrefied municipal solid waste using linear correlation model

In Malaysia, municipal solid waste (MSW) management has been one of the main issues that closely related to the environmental pollutions and human health risks. One of the promising method to utilize MSW as a fuel is gasification. However, MSW possess some drawbacks in terms of its properties such a...
