Laboratory studies were conducted to investigate scrap-tire-shreds as a potential alternative to conventional gravel in the drainage layer of leachate collection system at the base of landfill. Performance of various physico-chemical characteristics of leachate after passing it through combined bed of scrap-tire-shreds and gravel for different combinations of thickness of scrap-tireshreds and g...

The disposal of municipal solid wastes (MSW) is one the important issues today. MSW generally disposed in a landfill. disintegration landfill generates wastewater known as leachate and it became budding environmental impacts. seeps into natural ponds next to Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) MSWs are dumped with an irregular Bishkek, has been observed that this situation creates many pollution problems (air...

(Received: July 21, 2012; Accepted in Revised Form: July 5, 2013) Abstract: The principal concern of this study is to formulate the sub-pollution indices (sub-LPIs) and evaluate the individual and overall leachate pollutant index (LPI) of pilot scale landfill lysimeter at KUET campus, Bangladesh. To these endeavors, leachate samples from collection chamber of landfill lysimeter were sampling an...

Sampling and analysis of leachate from Bhalaswa landfill and groundwater samples from nearby locations, clearly indicated the likely contamination of groundwater due to landfill leachate. The results of simulation studies carried out for the migration of Chloride from landfill shows that the simulation results are in consonance with the observed concentration of Chloride in the vicinity of land...

As a developing country the protection of groundwater resources is extremely important in India. Landfills are a major source of water pollution. The filling for the disposal site in Ahmedabad, occurs at a distance of about 50 meters from Ahmedabad plant water intake. In addition, there are several holes are near the tip, which is used for drinking and domestic use. A survey of the composition ...

Reffing of coconut husk, the majorprocess in quality coir fibre extraction, causes serious pollution with brackish water lagoons of Kerala. An attempt is made to treat the coconut husk leachate by using a laboratory scale UASB-reactor The experiment was conducted with loading of leachate from 1 kg of fresh coconut husk. The anaerobic treatment was done continuously The parameters like VFA, pH, ...

Abstract This review assesses the leachate quality from waste disposal sites in tropical climate zone. Through this review, data 228 samples 145 18 countries region were analyzed. The 12 types of considered for analysis based on climatic conditions, age, and operating condition site. Tropical rainforest, monsoon, savanna climates identified zone classification. Age site was classified as young ...
