With increased population, rapid industrialization and life style changes, the characteristics and the rates of solid waste generation have gone under drastic change in India. Generally, in India, management of solid waste landfill is of major concern with respect to the existing circumstances. The illegal dumping of municipal solid waste on the outskirts of cities is creating major environment...

Solidification of petroleum-based tar material with capping was selected as the closure methodology for a former nonhazardous industrial waste landfill in the Eastern United States. While more expensive in the short term, this closure approach met the major long-term goals of the customer (site owner): rapid exit strategy, salability, and reduced long term monitoring. Value engineering changes ...

due to availability of proper materials in landfills (at most parts of iran especially in kahrizak) and also less expenditure of this liner in comparison with other liners it can be count as an acceptable choice. different studies imply that one of the most important factors for soil liner selection is local conditions and also liner compatibility with generated leachate in studied site. hydrau...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to provide a scientific method based on Geographical Information System (GIS) regarding all sustainable development measures to locate a proper landfill for disposal of hazardous wastes, especially industrial (radioactive) wastes. METHODS Seven effective factors for determining hazardous waste landfill were applied in Qom Province, central Iran. These crit...

Large amounts of solid waste are disposed in landfills and the potential of particulate matter (PM) emissions into the atmosphere is significant. Particulate matter emissions in landfills are the result of resuspension from the disposed waste and other activities such as mechanical recycling and composting, waste unloading and sorting, the process of coating residues and waste transport by truc...
