The 3 Most Important Leachate Indicator Parameters
There are three very important leachate indicator parameters which are used as indicators to identify leachate contamination in any water sample analysed in a water quality laboratory. These three parameters can give an initial guide to anyone investigating what appears to be pollution occurring in the vicinity of a landfill, as to whether the source […]
Is Long-Term Recirculation Of Leachate Concentrate From Reverse Osmosis Treatment Sustainable?
The Reverse Osmosis process is unique, it alone consistently removes salts (salinity) from leachate, apart from prohibitively energy expensive, physical evaporative methods, so it is an obvious candidate for leachate treatment.
Sanitary Landfill Leachate Past and Future
INTRODUCTION Within the last many years there have actually been major advances in the variety, engineering, and control of landfill sites; however, it is still a fact that at many sites the generation of very polluting sanitary landfill leachates is still a significant possible environmental problem to be conquered. Although research and experience continue to […]
Air Ammonia Stripping
Air Ammonia Stripping is a leachate treatment process which is now largely outdated and seldom used. During the 1980s in the United Kingdom it was seen as a potential physico-chemical leachate treatment process which would be suitable for the treatment of leachate from sanitary (lined and capped) landfills, however, although a number of pilot scale […]
Landfill Leachate Dilute and Disperse Philosophy and the Leachate Attenuation Zone
Landfill Leachate Dilute and Disperse Philosophy Landfills in the UK, built before the mid 1980’s were typically designed on a principle of dilute and disperse (EA, 2001/ Brown Book). The location of such sites was chosen so that the attenuation capacity of the underlying strata was sufficient to remediate the impact of the waste mass. […]
The Use of Willow Coppicing for Leachate Treatment
WRc, has reported on field trials in Britain inquiring into the utilisation of short rotation coppice (SRC) willow to treat leachate. The method is in use at several UK landfills where it is reported to be a low cost sustainable meathod of leachate
Leachate Recirculation
Leachate recirculation in the form of pumping leachate from the base of a cell back up into the top of the waste has been practised in the past, and continues to be used, at the majority of landfills.
Leachate Landfills
Leachate landfills – general information about leachate, and how it is present in landfilled waste, affects landfills, and is collected.
