Which Material is Best as A Liner for A Landfill
Landfill leakage pollution is very harmful to the environment. After the soil is polluted, it will be salinized, poisoned, parasites, pathogenic bacteria and other pathogens in the soil can make people sick. Infiltration can also contaminate groundwater and enter the human food chain, causing serious harm to the human body. Artificial material impermeability: geomembrane are usually high-density ...

Landfill Mining: The Next Step of Resource Recovery and Utilization
Most of the landfill waste comes from the solid waste generated in the daily life of the city or the activities providing services for the daily life of the city. However, the number and scale of existing landfills are far from enough to meet the growing demand for urban waste, especially at a time when every city is trying to build a "green" livable city. Therefore, recycling landfill waste is ...

Hazard assessment of waste disposal sites. Part 1: literature review
A review of the literature and computer models from the perspective of hazard assessment approaches, particularly relating to the risk analysis of waste disposal sites, has been carried out. It was found that a comprehensive hazard assessment procedure covering all modules and sub-modules for landfill leachate does not exist. The same deduction also applies to landfill gas and degraded landfill ...

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in leachates from municipal landfills
The leachates from six municipal waste landfills, located in South-eastern Poland, were studied for the presence of major, Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) – PAHs, Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs)/Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans (PCDFs), Polychlorinated Dibenzothiophenes (PCDTs) and Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The measured concentrations varied with respect to the ...

Waste in The EU at the Turn of the Century
Abstract The major part of waste in the EU ends up at landfills. In the EU waste strategy, a hierarchy for waste management has been set up: minimisation, material recovery, energy recovery and, only as the last resort, landfilling. This hierarchy is not reflected in real life. In a discussion of how to reduce amounts of waste going to landfill it is important to look at the factors of policy, ...

Physico-chemical characteristics of leachate from a common hazardous waste disposal facility in South India
Variations in the characteristics of leachate from the landfill of a Common Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) in South India was analysed in terms of pH, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Electrical Conductivity (EC), COD, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, total alkalinity, chlorides, sulphates and selected heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr+6, Zn and Ni). The leachate ...

Diverting waste from landfill - effectiveness of EU waste-management policies
With landfill at the bottom of the European waste hierarchy, policies to divert waste from landfill play a very important role within European and national waste policies. This report analyses the effectiveness of implemented policies on the diversion of total municipal waste and biodegradable municipal waste from landfill in the context of the 1999 EU Landfill Directive and other relevant ...

Performance assessment of deformation behaviour of landfill barriers at the onset of differential settlement
The present study focuses on the performance of various impervious barriers of cover systems subjected to differential settlements. Various impervious barriers, namely Compacted Clay Liner (CCL), Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) and Fibre Reinforced Clay Liner (FRCL) were subjected to differential settlements artificially in a centrifuge using hydraulic trap-door system. Distinct delay in water ...

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 ...
