Block Cave mining is one method used to extract ore from underground diamond mines as well as other massive orebodies such as copper. This necessitates the excavation of many kilometers of tunnel within the ore body. The integrity of these excavations needs ...

A one-dimensional multiphase numerical model is developed to simulate the vertical settlement involving liquid and gas flows in a deformable settling municipal solid waste MSW landfill.

In this paper is shown that former and present landfill techniques at the Filborna plant in Helsingborg, South Sweden are compared with respect to impacts on the environment

The objective of this study was to characterize the microbial and chemical changes which occur in refuse during its anaerobic conversion to methane.
