Biogeochemical evolution of a landfill leachate plume, Norman, Oklahoma.
Leachate from municipal landfills can create groundwater contaminant plumes that may last for decades to centuries. The fate of reactive contaminants in leachate-affected aquifers depends on the sustainability of biogeochemical processes affecting contaminant transport. Temporal variations in the configuration of redox zones downgradient from the Norman Landfill were studied for more than a dec...
متن کاملBiogeochemical redox processes and their impact on contaminant dynamics.
Life and element cycling on Earth is directly related to electron transfer (or redox) reactions. An understanding of biogeochemical redox processes is crucial for predicting and protecting environmental health and can provide new opportunities for engineered remediation strategies. Energy can be released and stored by means of redox reactions via the oxidation of labile organic carbon or inorga...
متن کاملLandfill Site Selection
In terms of the Integrated Waste Management approach, progressive authorities are making concerted efforts to reduce the amount of waste that goes to their landfills for final disposal. Notwithstanding this, waste disposal by landfill remains the way in which almost all waste in African and other developing counties is currently disposed. This is also the case in many developed countries. Conse...
متن کاملAn integrated Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for upscaling hydrological and geochemical parameters from column to field scale.
Predicting and controlling the concentrations of redox-sensitive elements are primary concerns for environmental remediation of contaminated sites. These predictions are complicated by dynamic flow processes as hydrologic variability is a governing control on conservative and reactive chemical concentrations. Subsurface heterogeneity in the form of layers and lenses further complicates the flow...
متن کاملMethodology for the Regional Landfill Site Selection
One of the most important causes of environmental pollution is certainly an inadequate waste management. The three factors that have primarily influenced this problem area are: ever increasing amount of municipal solid waste (which causes increasingly pronounced space occupation), increasing amount and types of hazardous waste, as well as lack of awareness on the importance of acting promptly i...
