Vast quantities of H2S emitted from landfill sites require urgent disposal. The current study focuses on source control and examines the migration and conversion behaviour of sulfur compounds in two lab-scale simulated landfills with different operation modes. It aims to explore the possible strategies and mechanisms for H2S endogenous mitigation inside of landfills during decomposition. It is ...

There are numerous active and abandoned waste sites in the US and worldwide. Post‐closure development of these sites is desirable from an environmental, societal and economical perspective. However, the post‐closure development of landfills presents many challenges. A major challenge is the generally soft nature of the municipal solid waste (MSW) and the high pote...

Large quantities of forest products are disposed of in landfills annually. The fate of this vast pool of carbon is important since carbon sequestration and the generation of landfill gases have important implications for global warming. Published estimates of methane yields were used to estimate the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere from landfilled forest products. These calculation...

This study assessed the location of landfills in Zaria LGA Kaduna State by use GIS and RS. Increase population has brought rapid urbanization, which turn accelerates rate waste generation. caused indiscriminate disposal within residential centers, are not properly located; these source disease, pollution, unaesthetic. Hence, all area were identified (27 landfills) their locations or spatial dat...

landfill leachates and leachate sediments were investigated in order to survey the discharge of uranium (u) from municipal solid waste (msw) landfills and municipal solid waste incinerator (mswi) bottom ash landfills. concentrations of u in the leachates were as high as or higher than concentrations of cd, a metal more often discussed when considering the environmental effects of landfill leach...
