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 ...

Formulating LandGem model for estimation of landfill gas under Indian scenario
Mostly in India, solid waste without any segregation is deposited into open dumping sites. Through these sites, there is uncontrolled emission of methane and landfill gas. The landfill gas has tremendous potential in terms of converting and using them as source of fuel. The emission of landfill gas depends on types of wastes, its rate of biodegradability, its methane potential, level of ...

How are landfills benefiting from incorporating community engagement into their odour management strategies? Let’s find out.
First, let’s address some well-established facts related to solid waste management and odour. s widely known that waste generation is increasing at astronomical rates worldwide. Populations are growing closer to waste management operations that were previously isolated. Estimates of the next few decades show no indication of municipal solid waste generation slowing down. By 2050 ...
