A Leachate Recycle Management and Pollutant Loading Strategy at Codisposal Landfill Sites: A Special Research Problem

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the behavior and fate of selected inorganic and organic priority pollutants codisposed with municipal solid waste in simulated landfills operated with either single pass leaching or leachate recirculation, and, through observation of relative effects on the progress of natural stabilization process, develop a leachate management and pollutant loading strategy for codisposal landfill operations employing leachate recycle. Chapters 2 through 5 of this report discuss: Sanitary Landfill Stabilization; The Use of Leachate Recirculation through the Refuse Mass as a Management Option; Codisposal of Hazardous Wastes with Municipal Solid Wastes; Lysimeter Construction and Loading; Effects of Pollutant Loadings and Leachate Recirculation on: Gas Production and Quality, and Leachate Quality; Proposed Leachate Management and Pollutant Loading Strategy. Keywords: Theses.
