<p>The present review describes the factors affecting the composition of landfill leachate and it has been prepared on the basis of extensive survey of literatures. The main objective of this study was to explore the knowledge on<br />various factors that ...

<p>Leachate pollution index (LPI) value can be used as a tool to assess the leachate pollution potential of landfill sites particularly at places where there is a high risk of leachate migration and pollution of groundwater and thus can help to take necessary ...

<p>Leachate pollution index (LPI) provides an overall pollution potential of a landfill site. In this paper, the concept of LPI is described in brief and stepwise procedure to calculate the LPI of a landfill is explained using data from municipal landfill ...

<p>A review of 92 heap leach projects from 15 countries provides a starting point for a series of experiments, at 22 &deg;C and a vertical pressure of 2000 kPa, to examine short-term puncturing and the development of geomembrane strains that could affect longer-term ...

<p>Landfill leachate is a liquid that is mainly produced by the rain which falls on the solid waste. The leachate usually contains high concentrations of ammonium, organic matter, toxic compounds and heavy metals. This master thesis introduces briefly facts ...

<p>Results from two sets of laboratory test programmes on sand-salt mixtures in which the salt fractions, of different amounts and size, are dissolved are brought together to gather insight into the mechanics of mass loss and its controlling factors. The test ...

<p>A technique to quantify the leachate pollution potential of solid waste landfills on a comparative scale using an index known as the leachate pollution index (LPI) developed. The LPI is a quantitative tool by which the leachate pollution data of the landfill ...

<p>For the last three decades, high density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes (GMBs) have played a crucial rule as the primary barrier in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. In parallel, there have been extensive investigations into the service life of HDPE ...

The disposal of nuclear wastes is one of the most controversial issues faced by authorities inJapan. In this regard, a survey was conducted among 172 university students to analyze the attitude towardsthe sitting of a nuclear waste repository in the country. ...

<p>Performance of landfill fresh leachate pretreatment by circulation on primitive waste deposits predicted by artificial neural network (ANN) mathematical<br />modeling. Landfill simulation reactor (LSR) for laboratory scale modeling was applied to prepare ...
