Advantages of Wet Ice Blasting
Cleaning is often really just the transfer of dirt from one area to another. The speck of dirt on the kitchen floor is transferred to the landfill. But, along that journey from kitchen to dump, the speck seems to multiply in size as more and more substances attach themselves to it. A chemical spray is applied to soften the dirt to make it easier to wipe from the kitchen tiles. A sheet of paper ...

Landfilling of Pre-treated Waste - Consequences for the Construction, Operation and After-care of Landfills
INTRODUCTION From the realisation of the German Waste Storage Ordinance (Ordinance on Environmentally Compatible Storage of Waste from Human Settlements AbfAblV, ANONYM, 2001) follows that in Germany from June 2005 on only pre-treated wastes are allowed to be furnished to landfills. In some parts pre-treatment will fundamentally change the physical, biological and chemical properties of the ...

What is the importance of Tire recycling?
Studies estimate that 1.76 billion new tires are manufactured each year, with such great quantity needed because the typical tire only lasts three to six years before needing replacement. Handling these truckloads of end-of-life (EOL) tires quickly presents a host of environmental concerns. Of the heaps of EOL tiers (outside of the ones that get retreaded and exported), the final destinations ...

Modelling methane and vinyl chloride in soil surrounding landfills
Sanitary landfilling is used in many countries as a preferred method for disposal of household wastes for reasons of simplicity and economics. Immediately following its deposition within a landfill, most of the organic fraction of waste will begin to undergo degradation through chemical and bacterial action. Landfill gas (LFG) is a product of biodegradation and consists of primarily methane ...

Beyond LEED, Part 1
Twenty years ago, few people recognized the need for concern about the negative environmental impact of building construction and the contribution that existing buildings make toward environmental pollution in the course of their regular, daily operations. Nevertheless, the damage done by the twentieth century’s burgeoning boon of construction was there for all to see: lost forests and wildlife ...

How Does a Modern Landfill Work
In many people’s minds, landfills are dirty and smelly, sewage is flowing, and flies are flying around. In fact, this is a false impression. A true sanitary landfill has a set of strict standards, starting with garbage entering the site. From landfill to comprehensive use, every process is not simple. There are more than 400 million urban residents in my country, and more than 150 million ...

Landfill Liners Vary by Application
It was in 1991 that the Environmental Protection Agency promulgated its Criteria for Municipal Waste Landfills that set location restrictions, design and operating standards, groundwater monitoring requirements, corrective actions, closure requirements, and more for landfills. It was these rules that mandated that landfills be lined on the sides and bottom before waste is deposited and capped on ...

Donzi landfill expansion using stratagrid case study
Background The Donzi Lane Landfill in Atlanta, GA had been in use since the 1970's for construction and demolition waste disposal. The site was nearing its capacity and additional landfill space was urgently needed due to the accelerating population growth and waste stream generated by development. Due to the high cost and long lead times for designing, permitting and constructing new landfills, ...

Landfill Project of Earthshields Company in Malaysia
Leakage in the landfill is very harmful to the environment. After the soil is contaminated, it will be salinized and poisoned, and pathogens such as parasites and pathogenic bacteria in the soil can make people sick. The waste can also pollute groundwater and cause harm to the human. Since the 1980s, HDPE high-density polyethylene geomembranes with a thickness of 1 to 2 mm have been used in ...

Non-Hazardous Landfill - Case Study
Municipal solid waste landfill is site for domestic day-to-day waste disposal. Its also known as tip, rubbish dump, dumping ground, etc. Material stored at solid waste landfill is isolated from the environment by sealing layer which can be HDPE or LDPE or even PVC geomembrane. If such geomembrane leaks, the contaminant from landfill is spreading in direction of the groundwater flow. This way it ...

Shredding tyres stops zika virus breeding
Zika is a dangerous disease threatening millions of people today in southern hemisphere. It is spread mostly by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito (Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus). These mosquitoes bite during the day and night. Once you get bitten it is too late to do much but what is important is to prevent this mosquito from breeding. Mosquitos typically lay eggs near water ...
