Study of colloidal content and associated heavy metals in landfill leachate: a case study of El-Akader landfill site: Jordan
Landfill leachate samples were collected anaerobically at six locations at the El-Akader landfill site in North Jordan. The collected leachate samples were separated into size fractions with special attention to the distribution of colloids and associated heavy metals. The fraction sizes were 1.2 µm. The maximum concentrations of heavy metals in the analysed leachate samples were Cd 0.6 µg/l, Ni ...

Monitoring leachate composition at a municipal landfill site in New Delhi, India
Most of the landfills in developing countries do not have any liner at the base, or a drainage layer or a proper top cover, which results in the potential problem of groundwater/surface water contamination due to the leachate. Hence, to decide whether the leachate is to be collected and treated, or may be allowed to discharge into the adjoining soil or public sewer or surface waterbody, it is ...

Help Your Spoils Pass the Paint Filter Liquid Test
One of the most important functions of a drilling fluid is to stabilize and maintain a borehole opening. Borehole stability in coarse soils starts with creating an impermeable barrier between the soil and the drilling fluid or slurry via the filter cake (or polymer gel membrane for non-rotary mud drilling such as foundation drilling). Then, positive hydrostatic pressure from having the hole full ...

Investigation on Potential Groundwater Impacts and Influence of Local Hydrogeology on Natural Attenuation of Leachate at a Municipal Landfill
The influence of local hydrogeology on natural attenuation of contaminants from landfill leachates in shallow aquifer underlying the active Olusosun landfill base in Lagos was investigated. In addition, the level of groundwater contamination in the vicinity of the landfill and of leachate migration pattern in groundwater down gradient of the landfill base was equally assessed. Landfill leachate ...
