Performance of soil and compost mixture in leachate purification at intermediate cover soil of tropical landfill
Leachate treatment was studied in simulated columns filled with different types of cover materials, i.e. (a) natural soil, (b) mixture of soil and planting soil, (c) mixture of soil and compost at 2:1 ratio and (d) mixture of soil and compost at 1:1 ratio. Filter performance was evaluated at different water application rates equivalent to rainfall intensity of 25, 50 and 100 mm/d. Leachate ...

Mining of compost from dumpsites and bioreactor landfills
Landfill mining is the process to recover recyclable materials, landfill space and compost. The paper presents the concepts of mining of compost from open stabilised dumpsites and bioreactor landfills to make landfills sustainable. Studies indicate that 50% of the material from the dumpsite could be recovered and reused as compost for non-edible plants or cover material for daily use in the ...

Compost as a landfill cover material for the elimination of methane emissions
Landfills, with about 40 - 60 Mio t emitted CH4 each year, are considered to be an important global source of the greenhouse gas methane. These emissions are especially caused by inadequate gas collection systems and uncontrolled emissions from old dumps and unauthorised open dumping. With traditional gas collection systems only 40 to 60 % of the produced gas can be collected and reused or safely ...

Utilisation of Municipal Solid Waste Compost as landfill cover soil for reducing greenhouse gas emission
Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSW-C) was introduced for improving landfill cover soil properties and enhancing methane oxidation. The landfill cover soil was irrigated with leachate for maintaining appropriate moisture content for methane oxidation reaction. It was found that MSW-C was an effective landfill cover material for landfill gas emission control exhibiting the highest Methane Oxidation ...

Evaluation of methane oxidation in a landfill cover material using a simple indicator approach
Estimates of methane (CH4) oxidation rates (Rg) in biocovers are crucial for development of abatement strategies. Rg values were estimated in a landfill biocover with a simple approach based on gas diffusion theory. Rg varied from 0 to 1.1 × 10−6 kg m−3 s−1. Highest oxidation efficiencies reached 80-100% when soil water content 20°C and O2 concentration > 0.1 kg m−3. Rg was correlated to ...

Russia is building new sanitary landfills - how to prolong their lifecycle from the start?
A high-quality landfill compactor is the minimum requirement when operating a safe, sanitary, and profitable landfill. However, to really maximize profitability, a mobile slow-speed industrial waste shredder is a great next step. With the right equipment, you can process waste to extend the lifecycle of a sanitary landfill and get profit from recovering valuable materials from municipal solid ...

Affordable new compost technology provides in-vessel levels of gas emission and odor control
Increasingly stringent air-emission regulations and demands to better control odors has put an economic strain on industries that recycle large amounts of organic materials, such as compost facilities, dairies, and feedlots. ECS has recently introduced an affordable composting technology to greatly improve facility compliance and odor control. This technology is the AC Composter. Air Quality ...
