Using published data, this study examined differences in pollutant levels in the leachate
between landfills and dumpsites in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It is the first to focus on …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an organic matter conversion technology which offers a wide
range of options for production of biogas from organic biomass, providing an excellent …

Mechanical biological treatment (MBT) of residual municipal solid waste (RMSW) was
investigated with respect to landfill gas generation. Mechanically treated RMSW was …

Municipal solid waste generation is increasing rapidly globally. Increasing storage of waste
in landfills means increased production of liquid landfill leachate. Leachate contains organic …

The high food waste content (HFWC) MSW at a landfill has the characteristics of rapid
hydrolysis process, large leachate production rate and fast gas generation. The liquid-gas …

The flow of water through Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills is highly non-uniform and
dominated by preferential pathways. Thus, concepts to simulate landfill behavior require that …

This paper presents a thermo-hydro-biochemo-mechanical model for simulating the long
term behavior of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in a bioreactor landfill, in which the multi …

The local gas production rate in municipal landfills is influenced by a large number of
processes, which have been modelled by a local mechanistic reaction model based on …

A simulation program for the evaluation of leachate generation at landfill sites is herein
presented. The developed tool is based on a water balance model that accounts for all the …

Aeration is one mainstream technique to accelerate municipal solid waste (MSW)
degradation in landfills. The determination of an appropriate aeration rate is critical to the …
