Shrinkage Characteristics of Boulder Marl as Sustainable Mineral Liner Material for Landfill Capping Systems

Landfill Types and Liner Systems

Introduction Modern landfills are highly engineered containment systems, designed to minimize the impact of solid waste (refuse, trash, and garbage) on the environment and human health. In modern landfills, the waste is contained by a liner system. The primary purpose of the liner system is to isolate the landfill contents from the environment and, therefore, to protect the soil and ground wate...

Operational Characteristics of Two Aerobic Landfill Systems

Modified landfill design for sustainable waste management

Waste management, being one of the most important aspects of urban development, is gaining importance among developing nations. Landfills, which were initiated for hazardous waste management and subsequently transformed into sanitary landfills, have been the most widely adapted practice for municipal solid waste management worldwide. However, the conventional design of landfills not only fails ...

evaluation of soil potential of urmia landfill as cadmium (cd) absorbent liner in construction engineering-health landfill

introduction one concern in the disposal of municipal solid waste (msw) by landfill is the production of leachate. acidic water is capable of dissolving elements from the waste; and, as a result, the leachate can become quite contaminated. one of the heavy metals present in leachate, cadmium poses a great concern in terms of environmental contamination since it is toxic to nearly all living org...
