The Behaviour of PVC in Landfill
This study carries out an analysis of the behaviour of PVC waste in landfills. An estimation of the quantities of PVC waste landfilled annually is presented. The study provides a survey of existing literature on the behaviour of PVC in landfills, in particular the behaviour of additives present in PVC waste (heavy metals, phthalates). In addition, practical experiments have been carried out in ...

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 ...

Hazardous waste disposal in the UK
Custom and practice have exerted a powerful influence on waste management in the UK. A notable feature is the role of local government, which remains dominant despite expanding legislation and the increasing technical complexity of waste management. The private sector has long had a major role in the transporting and disposal of hazardous waste. The Environmental Protection Act of 1990 ...

Evaluation of the hazardous waste landfill cap system design and clay layer thickness criteria of the Turkish Regulation on the Control of Hazardous Waste (RCHW) using the Hydrological Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model
The hazardous waste landfill design criteria of the Turkish Regulation on the Control of Hazardous Waste (RCHW) was evaluated in this study. In the first part of the study, Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) model was used to determine the significance of different components of the hazardous waste landfill cap system as required by the Turkish RCHW. In the second part of the ...

Corrective action at a hazardous waste unit
Troy Risk performed a RCRA Corrective Action at a closed hazardous waste landfill for a multinational landfill company. The work involved inspection and cleaning of two 85-foot leachate risers. A leachate riser is a stack of 4-foot diameter concrete pipe sections, which provide a passage to the bottom of the hazardous waste landfill. The riser provides access to pumps and electronic leachate ...

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 ...

Case Study: City of Torrance - Building 12
Ellis identified lead contamination on pavement and soils in the city maintenance yard adjacent to this multi-use recreational facility. The contaminant was traced to the buildings' former use as a military storage bunker. Working quickly, Ellis designed and managed the abatement and demolition of 2 buildings at the site, insuring that all lead-contaminated waste was properly contained, ...

Landfill Diebesstieg/Disposal Centre, Salzgitter-Diebesstieg, Germany: Landfill Leachate Ozone Treatment Plant
Since June 1994, the Salzgitter-Diebesstieg landfill has been operated by the 'Disposal Centre Salzgitter GmbH' as a municipal waste landfill for the urban area of Salzgitter. The permit for this landfill stipulated that a plant be constructed for treating the accumulating leachate. Based on the water qual- ity requirements for direct discharge into a waterway, from Appendix 51 of the ...
