<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) 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 ...

Physico-chemical and microbiological parameters were analyzed in leachate and groundwater samples obtained at different locations adjacent to a municipal solid waste landfill in order to assess the impact of leachate percolation on groundwater quality.

In most countries, sanitary landfill is nowadays the most common way to eliminate municipal solid wastes (MSWs). However, sanitary landfill generates large quantity of heavily polluted leachate, which can induce ecological risk and potential hazards towards ...

<p>This study was undertaken to examine feasibility of biological treating of landfill leachate that was collected from Tehran municipal landfill with about 0.5 &ndash; 1 year old. Average COD of the leachate in aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor is 68000 ...

<p>The conventional landfilling does not promote sustainable waste management due to uncontrolled emissions which potentially degrade the environment. In this regard, pre-treatment of municipal solid waste prior to landfilling significantly enhance waste stabilization ...

<p>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has collected and reported data on the generation and disposal of waste in the United States for more than 30 years. We use the information to measure the success of waste reduction and recycling programs across ...

In this paper with a methanogenic reactor using treated leachate recirculation, the effects of 12 effective microorganisms (EMs), isolated from Hangzhou Tianzhiling landfill, on the degradation of municipal solid waste (MSW) were investigated

The study presented here examines six full-scale bioreactor projects with the objective of providing a perspective of current practice and technical issues that differentiate bioreactor landfills from conventional landfills.

The focus of the project was the collection of actual leachate data, where available from full-scale landfill sites. This report includes the most comprehensive published data set on leachate quality from landfill sites that are similar to those that will ...
