  2. Leachate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leachate

    A number of complex organic contaminants have also been detected in landfill leachates. Samples from raw and treated landfill leachate yielded 58 complex organic contaminants including 2-OH-benzothiazole in 84% of the samples and perfluorooctanoic acid in 68%. Bisphenol A, valsartan and 2-OH-benzothiazole had the highest average concentrations ...

  3. Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity_characteristic...

    Toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) is a soil sample extraction method for chemical analysis employed as an analytical method to simulate leaching through a landfill. The testing methodology is used to determine if a waste is characteristically hazardous, i.e., classified as one of the "D" listed wastes by the U.S. Environmental ...

    Landfills are also required to have systems in place “that will prevent more than 12 inches” of leachate from being stored on the liner, said Leah McKenna, administrator of the DES Solid Waste ...

  5. Zero waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_waste

    In a zero waste system, all materials are reused until the optimum level of consumption is reached. Zero waste refers to waste prevention as opposed to end-of-pipe waste management. [2] It is a "whole systems" approach that aims for a massive change in the way materials flow through society, resulting in no waste. [2]

  6. Bioreactor landfill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioreactor_landfill

    Landfills are the primary method of waste disposal in many parts of the world, including United States and Canada.Bioreactor landfills are expected to reduce the amount of and costs associated with management of leachate, to increase the rate of production of methane (natural gas) for commercial purposes and reduce the amount of land required for land-fills.

  7. Landfill diversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill_diversion

    The landfill must have at least two impermeable liners as well as a system for leachate collection to prevent any water contamination. In addition to this, the landfill must also have a groundwater monitoring system in case there is a leak; the wells can be pumped to remove the contaminated water for treatment. [7]

  8. Daily cover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_cover

    The daily cover on an operational landfill site is the layer of compressed soil or earth which is laid on top of a day's deposition of waste. Benefits of using daily cover include: [1] Reduction of odor and air emissions; Control of disease vectors (birds, insects, and rodents) Improved surface stability for landfill vehicles; Control of litter

  9. Landfill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landfill

    Once a landfill site is full, it is sealed off to prevent precipitation ingress and new leachate formation. However, liners must have a lifespan, be it several hundred years or more. Eventually, any landfill liner could leak, [7] so the ground around landfills must be tested for leachate to prevent pollutants from contaminating groundwater.
