Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management is a global concern, and landfilling remains the predominant management method in most areas of the world. This book provides a comprehensive view of state-of-the-art methods to manage landfills more sustainably, drawing upon more than two decades of research, design, and operational experiences at operating sites across the world. Sustainable landfills implement one or multiple technologies to control and enhance the degradation of waste materials to realize a multitude of potential benefits during or shortly after the landfill’s operating phase. This book presents detailed approaches in the development, design, operation, and monitoring of sustainable landfills. Case studies showcasing the benefits and challenges of sustainable landfill technologies are also provided to give the reader additional context. The intent of the book is to serve as a reference guide for regulatory personnel, a practical tool for designers and engineers to build on for site-specific applications of sustainable landfill technologies, and a comprehensive resource for researchers who are continuing to explore new and better ways to more sustainably manage waste materials.

Download or read book Municipal Landfill Leachate Management written by Maryam Pazoki and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is divided into seven chapters, which address various leachate landfill management issues such as the quality, quantity and management of municipal landfill leachate, together with new methods. There are many methods available for the treatment and management of municipal landfill leachate. The waste management methods presented here can be applied in most third-world countries, due to the lack of waste separation and high organic content of waste. The book provides descriptions and a hierarchy of waste management, reviews the history of solid waste disposal, and covers a range of topics, including: leachate and gas generation in landfills; natural attenuation landfills; landfill site selection; leachate and stormwater management, collection and treatment; landfill gas management; landfill cover requirements; leachate collection; types of natural treatment systems; and design procedure and considerations. In closing, it provides an overview of the current solid waste management status in Iran.
Download or read book An Innovative Approach to Landfill Engineering written by Reg Renaud and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reg Renaud spent 40 years in the field developing methods and equipment to investigate the geotechnical and environmental conditions of various types of sites all over the world. Based on his broad expertise in these fields, he applied his talents to the investigation and compliance issues at municipal solid waste landfills. With the advanced technology applied to keep landfills in compliance, he developed the next generation in Bioreactors using Steam Injection methods. This technology will allow landfills to hold 10 times more waste and produce 10 times more energy than past landfills. If every landfill in the United States uses the Steam Injection technology today, we will be the first generation to control our own refuse in our lifetime and not leave it for the next generation.
Download or read book Geotechnical Aspects of Landfill Design and Construction written by Xuede Qian and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on actual, state-of-the-art design/construction procedures as opposed to a discussion of solid waste management issues and to general descriptions and/or conceptual designs. Provides an integrated package of analytical tools, design equations, and step-by-step construction procedures for all elements of a landfill, giving the reader a better sense of the necessary site investigation, planning, analysis, and organization that go into a landfill design and construction project.The characteristics of landfill containment envelopes and their design/construction are treated in detail. Physico-chemical and engineering properties of solid waste that are relevant and important to landfill design and construction are tabulated and described. Includes explanation of how to evaluate and assess potential problems that affect landfill performance such as sideslope stability, settlement, containment effectiveness, and erosion control. Discusses vertical landfill expansion; how leachate moves across a liner or barrier under both advection and diffusion; compares the containment effectiveness of different liner systems to the combined advective-diffusive transport of dissolved leachate solutes. Includes a detailed explanation with numerical examples and calculations of how to design a gas collection and piping system in a landfill—including the collection and handling of condensate in the gas. Detailed installation and inspection guidelines are provided for both earthen and geosynthetic liner/cover systems—comparing the relative advantages and limitations of each.

Download or read book Landfill Engineering written by Geoffrey B. Card and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete reference on all aspects of landfill engineering including landfill characteristics, measuring, analysis and modelling of landfill behaviour, recycling materials and landfill design; this handbook is a vital source of information on current methods of landfill use and management. Environmental pressures and changes in legislation, such as the EU Landfill Directive, are forcing us to rethink our attitudes towards landfill. The necessity of diverting and separating biodegradable domestic waste from hazardous waste, as well as an increased emphasis upon recycling waste materials is changing the engineering properties of landfill, which are a function not only of their physical characteristics, but also the chemistry of degradation. Increasing government pressure to redevelop brownfield land is driving the redevelopment of closed landfill sites, prompting engineers to reconsider the disposal of waste in new sites to enable their safe redevelopment in the future. This is a significant challenge; the engineering questions are considerable and have not been addressed in the literature to date. This book is an essential reference on the engineering of landfill materials, providing safe solutions to engineering problems from the construction and development of new landfill facilities, to the reuse and development on closed sites.
