FROM THE PREFACE
Sanitary landfills are the most widely utilized method of solid
waste disposal around the world. With increased use and public
awareness of this method of disposal, there is much concern with
respect to the pollution potential of the landfill leachate.
Depending on the composition and extent of decomposition of the
refuse and hydrological factors, the leachate may become highly
contaminated. As leachate migrates away from a landfill, it may
cause serious pollution to the groundwater aquifer as well as
adjacent surface waters. There is growing concern about surface and
groundwater pollution from leachate. Better understanding and
prediction of leachate generation, containment, and treatment are
needed.
This book contains a literature review of various methodologies
that have been developed for prediction, generation,
characterization, containment, control, and treatment of leachate
from sanitary landfills. The contents of this book are divided into
nine chapters. Each chapter contains theory and definition of the
important design parameters, literature review, example
calculations, and references.
Chapter 1 is devoted to basic facts of solid waste problems current
status and future trends towards waste reduction and recycling.
Chapter 2 provides a general overview of municipal solid waste
generation, collection, transport, resource recovery and reuse, and
disposal options. The current status of sanitary landfill design
and operation, problems associated with the landfilling, and future
trends are presented in Chapter 3. Methods of enhanced
stabilization, recycling landfill space, methane recovery, and
above grade landfilling, and closure and post closure care of
completed landfills are also discussed in detail. Chapter 4
provides a general overview of Subtitle D regulations and its
impact upon sanitary landfilling practices. Chapter 5 is devoted
entirely to moisture routing and leachate generation mechanisms.
Examples of calculation procedure for determining the leachate
quantity produced at a landfill are presented. Chapter 6 is devoted
to chemical characterization of leachate that changes over the life
of the fill. Both theoretical and experimental results are provided
to estimate the leachate quality. Chapter 7 provides leachate
attenuation processes and mechanisms. Chapter 8 is devoted to
leachate collection systems. Natural soil sealants, admixed
materials and synthetic membranes, their effectiveness, and methods
of installation and economics are fully discussed. Chapter 9
provides a detailed review of leachate treatment methodology.
Kinetic coefficients and treatment plant design considerations are
summarized for the sole purpose of assisting con- sultants to
design leachate treatment facilities. Leachate treatment case
histories and numerous process trains are presented for treating
leachate from young landfill. The book also describes how the
process train can be changed effectively as leachate quality
changes with time.
