Landfill biomining (LFBM) has been proposed as a viable method for the reclamation of legacy waste dumpsites well subsequent recovery valuable resources and land value spaces. Despite these advantages, potential LFBM faces significant challenge due to composition, characteristics end-use excavated materials. This paper assesses composition obtained during operation four heaps at Boragaon dumpsi...

Two bacterial species isolated using enrichment culture techniques from the topsoil of a main refuse dumpsite in Nigeria were assessed for their dehalogenation potentials. The bacterial isolates were identified as belonging to the Bacillus and Pseudomonas genera. Axenic cultures of the isolates utilized monochloroacetic acid (MCA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), trichloromethane (CHCl3) and tetrac...

Two batch experiments were conducted during the months of June-July (summer) and September-October (fall) to determine the effect of Electrical Conductivity (EC) on nutrient and COD removal & uptake efficiency and growth of duckweed (Lemna minor) at leachate with various EC levels (500-3,000 μS cm -1 ) under the natural climatic conditions of Islamabad, Pakistan. Maximum removal rates (mg m -2 ...
