Establishing plausible predictive scenarios represents a challenge for the long-term evolution of waste such as municipal solid waste bottom ash. These systems are characterized by complex and sometimes poorly understood physico-chemical mechanisms. The long term prediction of the evolution of such systems must be based on a dynamic approach involving their study in space and time. A preliminary outline of a model integrating chemistry and mass transfer is currently being tested by BRGM on the results obtained from a 16-month monitoring survey of a pilot bottom ash heap subjected to meteoric weathering. The model is based on a simplified coupled chemistry-transport approach using mass action laws and Kinetics chemical model (the Networks of Chemical Reactors approach). This modelling approach is used to monitor the evolution in chemical composition of a column of meteoric water percolating through the pilot bottom ash heap. The system is divided into representative elementary volumes (chemical reactors) on the basis of the major chemical and mineralogical zonations identified in the system.
