Abstract:
Rapid population growth has contributed to increased solid waste generated in Malaysia. Most landfills that have reached the design capacity are now facing closure. Taman Beringin Landfill was officially closed, so the Taman Beringin Solid Waste Transfer Station was built to manage the relocation, consolidation, and transportation of solid waste to Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill. Leachates are generated as a consequence of rainwater percolation through waste and biochemical processes in waste cells. Leachate treatment is needed, as leachates cause environmental pollution and harm human health. This study investigates the impact of treated leachate discharge from a Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP) on the Jinjang River water quality. The performance of the LTP in Taman Beringin Solid Waste Transfer Station was also assessed. Leachate samples were taken at the LTP’s anoxic tank, aeration tank, secondary clarifier tank, and final discharge point, whereas river water samples were taken upstream and downstream of Jinjang River. The untreated leachate returned the following readings: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (697.50 ± 127.94 mg/L), chemical oxygen demand (COD) (2419.75 ± 1155.22 mg/L), total suspended solid (TSS) (2710.00 ± 334.79 mg/L), and ammonia (317.08 ± 35.45 mg/L). The LTP’s overall performance was satisfactory, as the final treated leachates were able to meet the standard requirements of the Environmental Quality (Control of Pollution from Solid Waste Transfer Station and Landfill) Regulation 2009. However, the LTP’s activated sludge system performance was not satisfactory, and the parameters did not meet the standard limits. The result shows a low functioning biological treatment method that could not efficiently treat the leachate. However, a subsequent step of combining the biological and chemical process (coagulation, flocculation, activated sludge system, and activated carbon adsorption) helped the treated leachate to meet the standard B requirement stipulated by the Department of Environment (DOE), i.e., to flow safely into the river. This study categorized Jinjang River as polluted, with the discharge of the LTP’s treated leachates, possibly contributing to the river pollution. However, other factors, such as the upstream sewage treatment plant and the ex-landfill downstream, may have also affected the river water quality. The LTP’s activated sludge system performance at the transfer station still requires improvement to reduce the cost of the chemical treatment.

Abstract:
Four different heights of lysimeter were prepared to investigate the leachate characteristics produced from waste beds. The solid wastes from Chiang Mai municipal area were filled into the lysimeters with an inplace density of about 0.85 ton/m3. The experiment had been started for 853 days from May, 1990 to October, 1992. The leachates were collected every week to every month depending on the age of the waste and analysed for pH, conductivity, total solids, suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total volatile solids, alkalinity, acidity, total volatile acid, Cl−, SO=4, BOD, COD, TOC, TKN and NH3−N. The results showed that conductivity, volatile acid, total solids, total volatile solids, COD, BOD and TOC were very high in the first rainy season or in the first dry season, after that, they decrease abruptly, and then gradually decrease until the end of the experiment. Acidity, alkalinity, suspended solids, TKN and NH3−N were high in the first rainy season and gradually decreased until the end of the experiment. High percentage reduction of acidity, volatile acid, COD, BOD and TOC concentrations in the leachate produced from lysimeters after one year of waste filling showed that the acidogenic phase of the biodegradation process had terminated and that the major portion of carbonaceous organic matter in the waste bed had been utilised within the first year of the experiment. For the deeper waste layer, nitrogenous compounds in the leachate produced after two years of waste filling were still high due to the low activity of nitrification in the waste bed. It was found that the shallower waste layer produced lower concentrations of pollutants in the leachate. Higher amounts of leachate volume and extracted substances per dry weight of wastes were produced from the shallower waste layer.

Abstract:
Two experimental cells with household solid waste and healthcare solid waste were monitored in order to evaluate the pollution potential, and its toxicity effects corresponding to the chemical substances present in the leachates generated, correlating the physico–chemical composition with the ecotoxicity results (organisms Aliivibrio fischeri and Danio rerio). From the statistical evaluation of the physico–chemical analysis results, leachate generated in the household solid waste cell presented greater or equal values than to the healthcare solid waste cell, except for the turbidity parameter. The ecotoxicity results showed the same behaviour as that obtained with the physico–chemical analysis. A significant positive correlation was verified between chemical oxygen demand, alkalinity and ammonia nitrogen parameters with the leachate toxicity. This study concluded that healthcare solid waste presented less or equal polluting potential compared with household solid waste, and the co-disposal can be considered a viable alternative in sanitary landfills.

Abstract:
Under the newly implemented waste management policy in European Union countries, sanitary landfilling constitutes the fourth and the least preferred of the alternative management options for the disposal of solid urban wastes. Landfills generate emissions over long periods, often longer than a lifetime. The longest lasting emission is leachate: leachate production and management is now recognized as one of the greatest problems associated with the environmentally sound operation of sanitary landfills. These liquid wastes can cause considerable pollution problems by contacting the surrounding soil, ground or surface waters and, are therefore considered major pollution hazards unless precautionary measures are implemented. Landfill leachate characterization is a critical factor in establishing a corresponding effective management strategy or treatment process. This paper summarizes leachate quality indicators, and investigates the temporal variation of leachate quality from municipal solid waste. The toxicity of leachates from the municipal solid waste landfill "Vinca" in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, was characterized using toxicity characteristics leaching procedures (TCLP). The "Vinca" landfill was established in 1978 as one of several municipal landfills. Since the 1990-ies the "Vinca" landfill has been the only operating landfill servicing the Belgrade Metropolitan area, the biggest city in Serbia, with 1,576,124 inhabitants in the larger-city area, and 1,273,651 inhabitants in the inner-city area. The total average amount of solid wastes deposited in the landfill is estimated to be 1100 tons/day. The landfill site is not lined and the tributary flows through the centre of the site-in some places directly under the mass of refuse. No consideration has been given to the protection of ground waters, surface runoff or drainage. Local authorities plan to expand the landfill by 0.4 km2 to a total of 1.3 km Chemical analysis was performed on the samples and the temporal variation of several parameters was monitored including pH, COD, chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, ammonia nitrogen, hardness, and heavy metals. The COD and pH were related to the biological activity within the landfill and the results indicated differences between the samples due to waste age. The concentrations of heavy metals, sulfates, nitrates, chlorides and ammonia nitrogen in the leachate were low, indicating their initially low amount in landfilled waste or their flushing with moisture contributing to a reduction in their concentrations.

Abstract:
Leachate is generated during the decomposition process of solid waste and as a result of rainwater percolation through piles of garbage. Leachate composition is influenced by several factors such as the characteristic and density of solid waste, the amount of rainfall and the specific conditions of the disposal site. Once leachate reaches the surrounding soil and groundwater, high concentrations of organic substances will form and remain in the soil and groundwater for a long time. The well-known Indonesian Diponegoro University has built an integrated solid waste treatment plant (ISWTP) to manage the waste generated on site, which is mostly dominated by leaf litter, food waste, paper, and plastic. Organic solid waste goes through a decomposition process and produces leachate. In order to treat the leachate, it is necessary to identify its parameters. Thus, this study examines the effect of solid waste composition and density on leachate quality based on the conditions of the ISWTP. The results showed that the composition of solid waste altered the leachate quality while the density affected the decomposition rate and quantity of leachate.

Abstract:
Estimates of leachate strength and its variance over time are examined to provide a management tool for forecasting the need for leachate treatment and groundwater monitoring during the active phase of landfilling. Using historical lysimeter studies, regression curves are developed characterizing leachate strength for a series of contaminants, namely, chloride, chemical oxygen demand, total phosphates, ammonia, iron, cadmium, and lead. For each of these contaminants, the time-scale for the regression curves is normalized with regard to moisture addition and refuse mass, and is presented as cumulative litres of leachate per kilogram of municipal solid wastes. Key words: leachate, leachate quality, landfill, statistical analyses, solid wastes.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of volatile fatty acid concentration on anaerobic degradation rate of food waste leachate in the anaerobic digestion facilities. The anaerobic digestion facilities treating food waste leachate (FWL), codigestion with food leachate and animal manure (A-MIX), and codigestion with food waste leachate and sewage sludge (S-MIX) were selected for this study. In accordance with the regulation under Wastes Control Act in South Korea, the guideline of volatile solid removal rate for anaerobic digestion facility is set as 65% for anaerobic degradation efficiency. Highest volatile solids removal rates were achieved from FWL (63.5%) than A-MIX (56.4%) and S-MIX (41.2%). Four out of eight FWLs met the guidelines. The concentration of volatile fatty acids, therefore, was analyzed to determine the relationship with volatile solid removal rate. The results showed that, in order to meet the Korean guideline of 65% volatile solid removal rate, volatile fatty acid concentrations should remain below 4,000 mg/L on the field anaerobic digestion facilities treating FWL. Volatile fatty acid concentrations should be used along with others as an operational parameter to control and manage the anaerobic digestion process.

Abstract:
This report focuses on the potential for using waste carpets as part of cover and liner systems at municipal solid waste landfills. Five different carpet materials were tested for their characteristics before and after incorporation with solid wastes in simulated landfill bioreactors. Selected analyses are presented on heavy metals and volatile organic compounds from TCLP extracts, and on leachate and gas samples during operation with and without leachate recycle. Biological clogging tests indicated no alteration in carpet integrity o2r significant reduction in permeability. Solid waste stabilization, indicated by gas and leachate parameters, proceeded without adverse impact from the codisposed carpets. Volatile organic compounds and heavy metals were present in trace amounts and below regulatory limits. These results supported post-consumer use of carpets as filter and separation layers for municipal solid waste landfill cover and liner systems.

Abstract:
<abstract> <p>Municipal solid waste landfills leachate can cause serious environmental issues for groundwater quality. Therefore, the application of environmental tracing methods to identify groundwater contamination by municipal solid waste landfills leachate is significant. Hydrogeochemical evaluations to trace municipal solid waste landfills leachate are usually carried out. The study was carried out at a landfill in central Italy (Umbria). Samples of leachate and groundwater have been analyzed to evaluate the impact of leachates on groundwater through the comparison of their hydrogeochemical nature. Parameters like pH, Temperature (T), Electrical Conductivity (EC), redox potential (Eh) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were also measured in situ using digital instruments. Hydrogeochemical data (Na<sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup>, HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>, Cl<sup>−</sup>, NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>), ionic ratios and geochemical correlations were used to confirm the processes that govern the chemistry of the spring water and to identify leachate contamination phenomena. In fact, the main geochemical diagrams (Langelier-Ludwig, Piper, Schoeller) confirm the leachate contamination in a groundwater sample. In particular, the Piper diagram shows that a sample is in Na<sup>+</sup> – Cl<sup>-</sup> – HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> mixing zone, indicating a possible influence of the leachate on groundwater chemistry. As a matter of fact, some correlations between major elements, such as Cl<sup>-</sup> versus Na<sup>+</sup> and Cl<sup>-</sup> versus HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, confirm that the leachate in this study area is highly enriched in Cl<sup>-</sup> and HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> due to wastes dissolution and degradation processes. Further, the assessment of K<sup>+</sup>/Mg<sup>2+</sup> ratio also confirms the presence of a sample heavily impacted from leachate contamination. These results indicate that also one basic hydrogeochemical study can be useful for fingerprinting the leachate pollution for groundwater samples.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:
The main environmental issue associated with compost production is the production of a liquid leachate. Leachate from municipal wastes contains carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements that can be used as nutrients by plants. The advantages of the use of organic wastes such as compost leachate as fertilizers are evident. Their use would reduce the consumption of commercial fertilizers, which need, with their production, high cost and energy. This work aims to determine the physical and chemical properties of a specific leachate with a variable composition, collected from the composting line of a mechanical and biological treatment facility. The goal is to assess if the leachates can be used as a potential source for fertilizers, and thus develop and design a sequence of processes which could effectively convert the leachates to commercial fertilizers according to the requirements of the proposal of regulation of the European Parliament of 2016 for fertilizers. Preliminary results show that the leachate samples qualitatively meet the requirements established for the composition of commercial fertilizers, especially organo-mineral fertilizers. Furthermore, there is no production cost of leachate as a raw material. The results show that the leachate is characterized by manageable concentrations of heavy metals which can be removed by adsorption processes, and it presents suitable amounts of organic carbon after a water removal procedure. However, the establishment of the conditions for suitable conversion processes are still under investigation considering the high composition variability due to factors like storage and environmental conditions.

Abstract:
Anaerobic digestion of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) generates a mixture of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Beyond the field capacity the water generated is collected and recirculated as leachate in Bioreactor Landfills (BLs.) Leachate recirculation has a profound advantage on biodegradation of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) in the landfills. Mature leachate from older sections of landfills (>20 years) and young leachate were blended prior to recirculation in the ratios 3/3 mature, 3/3 young, 1/3 mature-2/3 young and 2/3 old-1/3 young and their effect on biodegradation and biogas production monitored. In addition to analysis of the effect of blending old and new leachates, the study also analyses the effect of an open vs. a closed recirculation loop and the effect of organic loading rates of OFMSW in landfills. Data collected from initial batch tests supplement column bioreactors simulating bioreactor landfills with real world OFMSW from operational landfill facilities in Ontario, Canada. The results are conclusive that the biogas generation can be improved by up to 92% by blending the leachate in an open loop recirculation system as compared to a conventional closed loop system employed in landfills today.

Abstract:
In this study, regularly measured long-term leachate data from Bursa Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWL) were analyzed using conventional statistical, time series and factor analyses to investigate in detail the temporal variability of leachate quality and quantity, trend, randomness, seasonality and the auto- and cross- correlations of leachate pollutants. Evaluating the results of data analyses, leachate management recommendations, including sampling strategies in monitoring programs and treatment alternatives for old and fresh leachates, were developed. Statistically analyzed leachate parameters included BOD, COD, pH, SS, electrical conductivity, total CrO4, Cr6+, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, CN-, Cl, F, total P, NH4-N, total N, SO4, S2-, total alkalinity and leachate flow rate. Results indicated that the majority of pollutant concentrations varied in large ranges. Leachate parameters usually showed non-normal distributions and high variability in the closed T Valley compared to the open Main Valley. The majority of leachate parameters was autocorrelated and had statistically significant correlations amongst themselves. Factor analysis showed that different inter-relationships were present between leachate parameters for closed and open valleys. The sampling frequency and the number of leachate parameters need to be measured were determined to be higher for open landfills than for closed landfills. It was recommended that leachates, having high organic strength, in open landfill be treated using biological and physical/chemical processes. However, after the closure of the landfill, physical/chemical processes were recommended for leachate treatment, as it gradually completes transition from fresh to old leachate.

Abstract:
A methodology based on an analytical protocol for evaluation of hazards from landfill leachate and solid waste is described. A dynamic analytical protocol, the LAQUA protocol, including measurements of inorganic and water-quality parameters, polar and non-polar organic marker compounds, and toxicity, was constructed. An acute toxicity test, using the brackish water crustacean Artemia salina as test organism, was developed. The methodology was applied to authentic problems such as investigation of different treatment techniques for landfill leachate, evaluation of leaching tests and characterization of solid wastes, and an investigation of a filter material aimed for leachate treatment. Investigated treatment methods comprised in all cases pre-treatment by aeration combined with sedimentation, followed by one of: bioremediation, ozonation, chemical oxidation by Fenton’s reagent, or geo-bed filters. Evaluated filter materials were mixtures of natural or residual waste products. A combination of pre-treatment followed by a geo-bed filter containing a mixture of peat and carbon-containing ash gave an efficient simultaneous removal of metals and organic pollutants. The performance of two leaching tests for characterization of solid waste, the up-flow percolation test (SIS-CEN/TS 14405:2004) and the batch test (SS-EN 12457 -3), was investigated. Solid waste materials (sludge from street gutters and fragmented metallic waste) were characterized using leaching tests and the hazards of the materials were evaluated in the eluate, obtained at specific liquid-to-solid ratios (L/S). The L/S 2 and L/S 10 values were compared with limit values included in the waste acceptance criteria (WAC). The analyses were extended towards specific organic compounds, such as individual phenolic compounds and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB). Organic compounds were found in eluates from both types of tests, showing the possibility to use these methods to evaluate the leaching of such compounds from waste materials. The use of authentic leachate as leachant, leads to increased concentrations of heavy metals in the eluate, compared to the prescribed use of demineralised water as leachant. Generally good agreement was found between the results of the two leaching methods. A strategy based on batch tests is described for investigation of a filter material for leachate treatment. Batch tests gave suitable information about the leaching from new and used material, and showed high removal efficiencies of metals and non-polar organic compounds. However, for investigation of removal of polar organic markers (e.g. phenolic compounds) a batch test is not sufficient and should be supplemented by a column test.
Avfall har alltid uppkommit i alla samhällen i alla tider. Det vanligaste sättet att hand om det har varit att samla avfallet i soptippar (deponier) på mark som ansetts obrukbar, t.ex. i sankmarker utanför bebyggelsen. I takt med ökad konsumtion och produktion har också mängderna avfall ökat. Anledningen till att avfall och avfallshantering kommit alltmer i fokus i miljödebatter under de senaste decennierna, är inte bara de stora mängderna avfall på de många och stora sopbergen runt om i världen. Deponierna släpper också ifrån sig miljöfarliga ämnen från de alltmer komplexa produkter som blivit lagda i deponin. Dessa kommer att fortsätta att läcka ut länge efter det att deponeringen på soptippen slutat, och skapa problem för människor och miljö i flera generationer. Som en konsekvens av internationella beslut bl.a. Agenda 21 (FNs miljökonferens i Rio) och EUs lagstiftning om avfallshantering som Sverige har tagit in i sin lagstiftning, kommer bl.a. antalet soptippar att minska. Efter den 31 december 2008 beräknas endast ett 90-tal deponier för kommunalt avfall att vara i drift i Sverige. Lagstiftningen beskriver en avfalls hierarki där deponering är den sämsta och absolut sista åtgärden som får göras bara när inget av de andra alternativen kan uppfyllas. Det ställs stora krav på de soptippar som är godkända enligt den nuvarande lagstiftningen. Olika typer av deponier ska finnas för olika slag av avfall. En deponi för farligt avfall har bättre skydd mot läckage både under och över tippen än en tipp för icke-farligt avfall. För att ha kontroll på vilket avfall som läggs på deponin och därmed kunna behandla det på korrekt sätt, måste avfallet beskrivas och klassas innan det skickas för deponering. Karakteriseringen görs bl.a. med hjälp av lakningstester. Syftet med denna avhandling har varit att utarbeta en metodik för at utvärdera miljöfarliga ämnen som kommer från avfall och lakvatten från soptippar. Den inledande forskningen utgjordes av ett projekt kallat Laqua, finansierat av EU-kommissionens program för samarbete inom Östersjöregionen, SweBaltcop. Projektets uppgift var att främja utveckling av ekologiskt och ekonomiskt hållbara reningsmetoder för lakvatten. Lakvattnet bildas främst av nederbörd som faller över deponin. Det vatten som kommer in i soptippen tar med sig många av de ämnen som finns i tippen när det rinner ut. Dessa ämnen kan komma från sådant som har deponerats eller bildas när avfallet bryts ner. Lakvattnet samlas upp och renas på något sätt innan det släpps ut till ett naturligt vattendrag. En vanlig metod att behandla lakvatten är att pumpa det till det kommunala avloppsreningsverket och rena det tillsammans med avloppsvatten. Men detta är ingen optimal lösning eftersom lakvatten innehåller andra föroreningar än avloppsvatten, t ex salter, tungmetaller och svårnedbrytbara organiska föreningar. Avloppsreningsverken är konstruerade för att rena avloppsvatten och lakvattnets föroreningar kan störa reningsprocessen. Framför allt kan de känsliga mikroorganismerna i det biologiska reningssteget påverkas negativt. Slammet som bildas vid reningsprocessen kommer att koncentrera många av de oönskade föroreningarna som härstammar från deponin. Slammet är egentligen ett utmärkt gödselmedel för jordbruket, men på grund av att slammet är förorenat av tungmetaller och svårnedbrytbara organiska ämnen kan inte slammet användas. Slammet blir då ett avfall som kommunen inte kan bli av med utan stora kostnader. Många kommuner har därför valt en separat rening av lakvattnet. Val av reningsteknik är beroende av flera faktorer, som volymerna lakvatten som uppkommer, innehållet av de olika miljöfarliga ämnena, vart det renande vattnet ska släppas ut och utrymme för att bygga en reningsanläggning. För att utvärdera olika tekniker för rening av lakvatten, byggdes en försöksanläggning på soptippen i Kristianstad. För att kunna utvärdera en reningsmetod måste bestämningar av koncentrationer av olika ämnen (analyser) göras. På grund av den ökande oron för organiska miljögifter som PCB och fenoler, skulle reningsteknikerna utvärderas med fokus sådana eller liknande ämnen. Analyser av organiska ämnen är komplicerade och tidskrävande, och det är inte möjligt att analysera alla ämnen. I många undersökningar används endast generella parametrar för att uppskatta innehållet av organiska ämnen, men dessa metoder ger ofta inte tillräcklig information om det egentliga innehållet i lakvattnet. Därför utarbetades ett utvärderings protokoll, LAQUA protokollet (artikel I) för bestämning av organiska miljögifter i olika förorenade vatten. Detta protokoll innehåller förutom analyser för organiska miljögifter som PCB och fenoler och en akut toxicitetstest, även standardiserade rutinanalyser av metaller och vattenkemiska parametrar. Eftersom separat analys av alla organiska ämnen inte nödvändig för att bedöma olika reningsmetoder för lakvatten, innehåller protokollet ett antal markörer för polära, respektive opolära organiska föreningar. Den biologiska giftighetstesten som utvecklades (artikel III) och ingår i protokollet är ett s.k. akut toxicitetstest, dvs. organismen påverkas direkt av höga halter av föroreningar. I testen används det lilla saltvattentåliga kräftdjuret Artemia salina, som säljs som föda åt akvariefiskar. En bestämd volym med ett antal Artemia larver läggs i små brunnar med olika koncentrationer av lakvatten under 24 timmar. Sedan jämförs vid vilken inblandning av lakvatten som hälften av kräftdjuren har fått rörelsestörningar. Resultaten på tester med obehandlat lakvatten, respektive behandlat med olika reningstekniker jämförs, och på det viset kan effektiviteten på reningsmetoder bedömas gentemot en vattenlevande organism. Utvärderingen av försöksanläggningen (artikel II) visade att vid förbehandlingen, bestående av luftning och sedimentering, togs mycket av föroreningarna bort, och det rekommenderas att ett sådan reningssteg alltid bör finnas vid en reningsanläggning för lakvatten. De kemiska behandlingsmetoderna med ozon och Fentons reagens (tvåvärt järn och väteperoxid) var effektiva på att ta bort de organiska miljögifterna, men även de mer kostnadseffektiva filterbäddarna visade sig fungera bra. Den goda erfarenheten från försöksanläggningen av filterbäddar ledde till att effektiviteten hos fler filter material undersöktes. I artikel VI beskrivs ett försök, gjord i laboratorium, där lakvatten från en soptipp som tar hand om industri avfall (metallavfall från bl.a. bilar och kylskåp) fick rinna genom kolonner med olika filtermaterial. Mixen av torv och aska med kolinnehåll visade sig vara bra på att ta bort både metaller och organiska ämnen från lakvattnet. Kunskapen från bl.a. dessa undersökningar har bidragit till att en fullskaleanläggning för lokal rening av lakvatten har kunnat byggas i anslutning till Stena metalls soptipp i Halmstad. Den andra delen i avhandlingsarbetet riktade in sig mot lakningstester. För att undersöka vilka ämnen som kan lakas ut från ett avfall rekommenderas två olika standardiserade lakningstests metoder. Vid den ena metoden pumpas en vätska genom en kolonn med en uppvägd mängd avfall tills ett visst vätske/fast fas förhållande (L/S halt) har uppnåtts. Vid den andra snabbare metoden, skakas en bestämd mängd avfall tillsammans med en bestämd volym vätska under 24 timmar. Den vätska som man får efter testerna kan jämföras med ett lakvatten och ska simulera den urlakning som avfallet ger ifrån sig under sin tid på deponin. Denna urlakningsvätska analyseras och de uppmätta halterna av olika ämnen jämförs med en gränsvärdes tabell och avfallet kan hänföras till en avfalls klass. De två lakningstesterna användes för att karakterisera olika avfallsslag, sönderdelat metall skrot (artikel IV) och slam från gatubrunnar (artikel V). För att få mer kunskap om metoderna och kunna vidareutveckla dem, utökades undersökningarna och analyserna. De urlakade vätskorna analyserades därför enligt Laqua protokollet, dvs med markörer för organiska miljögifter. Dessutom gjordes undersökningar där lakvatten användes som lakningsvätska istället för avjonat vatten som testmetoderna föreskriver. Dessa visade att den mer jonstarka vätskan (lakvattnet) ökade urlakningen av metaller från avfallet. En jämförelse av de två metoderna visade att den snabbare skaktesten oftast gav likvärdiga eller högre halter av de analyserade ämnena i urlakningsvätskan, och därmed kan den i många fall användas i första hand. För att bedöma ett filtermaterial ur ett livstidsperspektiv, utvecklades en strategi baserad på skaktester (artikel VII). Ett filtermaterial, en mix av torv och aska med kolinnehåll, undersökes före och efter att det använts i en filterbädd för rening av lakvatten. För att vara säker på att filtermaterialet i sig själv inte släppte ifrån sig några föroreningar gjordes en lakningstest. För att se hur effektivt materialet var på att ta bort metaller, PCB och fenolföreningar, gjordes skaktester med vätskor med kända halter av dessa föroreningar. När filtermaterialet är förbrukat och skall bytas ut anses det som ett avfall, och det karakteriserades med lakningstest för att hur det skulle tas om hand. Metodiken med skaktester ger bra information om utlakning från ett material, och skaktester är också bra instrument för att utvärdera ett filtermaterials effektivitet på att ta hand om metaller och opolära organiska ämnen som PCB. Men för att utvärdera effektiviteten av borttagandet av polära organiska ämnen (t ex. fenoler), är inte en korttids skak test något bra instrument. Reduceringen av dessa ämnen sker genom nedbrytning med hjälp av mikroorganismer, och för att undersöka detta behövs tester som varar en så lång tid att en mikrobiologisk miljö hinner etablera sig, t ex. kolonn tester. Utvärderingen av detta avhandlingsarbete visar på några ytterligare slutsatser och förslag till fortsatt arbete. Toxicitetstesten med Artemia bör kompletteras med tester på t ex. bakterier och växter, eftersom det inte räcker med en test på bara en organism för att bedöma giftigheten av en förorening ett naturligt ekosystem. Vidare behövs en biologisk test för att påvisa kroniska effekter, så som skador på fortplantning eller tumörsjukdomar. Dessa skador kan uppkomma genom att organismer påverkas under en lång tid av de låga, men därmed inte ofarliga halter av organiska miljögifter som ofta förekommer i lakvatten. Den presenterade metodiken kan användas för att utvärdera miljöfarliga ämnen från olika förorenade områden. Avhandlingen har visat att LAQUA protokollets sammansättning och dess analyser är ett bra instrument för att utvärdera reningstekniker för lakvatten och för att ge ytterligare information om organiska ämnen i fast avfall. Bedömning av luft kvalitet och karakterisering av dagvatten är andra exempel där metodiken kan användas. Avslutningsvis är det förstås lättare att utvärdera farligheten från avfall när det är mindre volymer avfall att utvärdera. Detta kan uppnås genom att konsumera mindre, återanvända produkter, återvinna material, utvinna energi ur avfallet och välja miljövänliga produkter när man köper nytt.

Abstract:
Given the increase in nanomaterial (NM) use in consumer products and the large fraction of waste placed in landfills worldwide, the probability of these products reaching municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills at the end of their useful life is high. Since nanotechnology use is still in its early stages, there are currently no regulations pertaining to the disposal of NMs and their fate in MSW landfills is still unknown. Understanding the fate of NMs in MSW landfills is vital to ensure the proper handling of these novel materials from cradle to grave; such research will provide information on how these NMs can be safely introduced into the environment. This research seeks to understand the fate of NMs within waste environments by examining the interactions between NMs and landfill leachate components. The primary focus of this thesis is the effect of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) on biological landfill processes, solids aggregation, and chemical speciation of Zn in landfill leachate following the addition of crystalline, nano-sized ZnO coated with triethoxycaprylylsilane. This research (1) observed the effects of coated ZnO on five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and biochemical methane potential (BMP), (2) examined effects of solids aggregation on the fate of ZnO, (3) quantified the concentration of Zinc (Zn) by size fractions, and (4) modeled the chemical speciation of Zn in landfill leachate using Visual MINTEQ. No change in dissolved Zn was observed after coated ZnO was exposed to "middle-aged" leachate. Upon exposure to “mature” leachate there was an increase in dissolved Zn assumed to be a result of the dissociation of ZnO. Solids data supported the aggregation of particles in both middle aged and mature leachate. There was an increase in the Zn concentration in leachate fractions greater than 1500 nm presumably due to the dispersion of normally insoluble ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) following the interaction with humic acids (HA). ZnO did not inhibit anaerobic or aerobic processes in either middle aged or mature leachate, presumably due to the relatively low concentration of dissolved ionic Zn. Despite the observation of increased dissociation upon exposure to mature leachate, the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) may have hindered the ability for dissolved ionic Zn to become bioavailable. Fractionation, BOD5 and BMP tests, and chemical speciation modeling provided insight on the mobility of ZnO in landfills and the absence of inhibitory effects on landfill processes. Aggregation of ZnO NPs may prevent movement through traditional containment systems (i.e. geomembrane liners) due to the increased particle size. However, the increased dispersion suggests that ZnO NPs will be transported out of the landfill in the leachate, however biological treatment of leachate should be unaffected by the presence of ZnO. The bioavailability of Zn was not substantially affected by the presence of ZnO due to affinity of dissolved Zn for DOM. However, due to the heterogeneity of landfill leachate and the utilization of different NM coatings, it is challenging to predict the overall mobility of other NMs in a landfill.

Abstract:
Landfill leachate with its variable and complex characteristics poses a well established threat to the environment. Enhancement of the environmental quality through the minimization of the leachate problem should therefore be the major objective of good landfill management. The need to control and manage landfill leachate has resulted in various treatment alternatives which include both biological and physical-chemical processes. The research described in this thesis discusses the feasibility of biological and physical-chemical treatment of leachate based on laboratoryscale reactors. After a short introduction, a review of the relevant literature on solid waste disposal including landfilling, leachate generation and the treatment alternatives was presented. Comparative experimental studies were then carried out using an aerobic rotating biological contactor (RBC), an upflow anaerobic filter (UAF) and an activated carbon (AC) adsorption column for treating landfill leachate. The effect of a range of parameters on the performance and operation of the RBC, the UAF and the AC column has been evaluated in the study From the experimental results, an RBC was found to achieve a better performance when treating a low strength (LS) leachate, whereas a high strength (HS) leachate would be much better treated by a UAF. For the LS leachate treatment, a COD removal of 80% at a loading rate of 6 kg COD/m3.d was achieved by the RBC as compared to only 60% by the UAF. Whereas for the HS leachate the RBC achieved a COD removal of only 50% at the loading rate of 14 kg COD/m3.d as compared to 60% by the UAF. Direct physical-chemical treatment process in treating leachate using an AC adsorption was also investigated. The results obtained showed that the adsorption process was not capable of achieving the desired effluent requirement, with 20% residual organic fractions still remaining in the effluent. The need to remove this biodegradable organic matter by biological processes was found to be necessary. It is suggested that to achieve satisfactory treatment, anaerobic UAF treatment of leachate followed by aerobic RBC and a final polishing with AC column should be used.

Abstract:
This was a study undertaken to investigate municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill stability parameters and landfill leachate properties to determine how solid waste and leachate characteristics can be used to describe stability. The primary objective was to determine if leachate properties could be used to determine stability of the overlying refuse. All landfills studied were engineered landfill bioreactors giving insight to how leachate recirculation affects stability. This study investigated the correlation between cellulose, lignin, volatile solids, and biochemical methane production (BMP). These parameters can been used to characterize landfill stability. The BMP tests indicate that a saturated waste can produce methane. Cellulose is an indicator of landfill stability. Wastes high in cellulose content were found to have high BMP. Paper samples studied indicated gas production from high-cellulose paper was higher compared to low-cellulose samples. Lignin has been found to correlate fairly well with BMP. Increasing cellulose to lignin ratios correlate well with increasing BMP levels, further supporting the use of the BMP test to indicate solid waste stability. In the BMP test for leachate, a mixture of the standard growth medium (less 80% distilled water) and 80% v/v leachate incubated for 15 days produced the most consistent BMP results. Leachate cellulose and BMP correlated well. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) also had some correlation to BMP tests. Leachate COD was found to decrease over time in landfill bioreactors. The use of leachate rather than MSW to determine stability would be more efficient.

Abstract:
Microplastics possess a significant threat to water resources as well as aquatic life and present a challenge in overall water resource management. Among a wide variety of entry routes available for microplastics from land to water bodies, municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are suspected to be one of the important land-based sources (entry point) of microplastics affecting water quality. Few studies reported the presence of microplastic in the leachate obtained from municipal solid waste landfills corroborating that MSW landfills not only act as a sink of microplastic pollution but also act as a source. Microplastics from these leachates move to the soil system thereby affecting its quality and further migrate to aquatic systems. This movement of microplastic from leachate to aquatic system not only deteriorate the water quality but also highlights the importance of land-based sources of microplastic. In this review, we focused on the role of landfills as a pathway for microplastics to water bodies. The main aims of this review the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in landfills and discuss the role of landfill age. Polyethylene in fragmented and fibrous form remains the predominant type and shape of microplastic in leachates. The shape, size, and abundance of microplastics in leachates vary with landfill age. Landfills also provide a favorable environment for microplastic degradation thereby turning macroplastics into tiny plastic pieces. The major type of degradation is oxidative degradation. Our review confirms that MSW landfills are indeed a source of microplastic and contribute to microplastic pollution in soil and aquatic systems.

Abstract:
Because of the very low level of 90Sr in the environmental soil samples and its determination by beta counting may take several weeks, we developed a procedure for ultratrace determination of 90Sr using collision reaction cell-inductively coupled plasma tandem mass spectrometry (CRC-ICP-MS/MS, Agilent 8800). Soil samples were dried at 105 °C and then heated in a furnace at 550 °C to remove any organics present. 500 g of each soil samples were aliquoted into 2000 ml glass beakers. Each Soils samples were soaked in 2 ppm Sr solution carrier to allow determination of chemical yield. The solid to liquid ratio was 1:1. Finally the soil samples were dried at 105 °C. Five hundred milliliters concentrated nitric acid and 250 ml hydrochloric acid volumes were added on 500 g soil samples. The samples were digested on hot plate at 80 °C to prevent spraying with continuous manual mixing. The leachate solution was separated. The solids were rinsed with 500 ml deionized water, warmed on a hot plate and the leachate plus previous leachate were filtered and the total volume was reduced to 500 ml by evaporation. Final leachate volume was transferred to a centrifuge tubes. The centrifuge tubes were centrifuged at 3,500 rpm for 10 min. The leachate was transferred to a 1 L beaker and heated on a hot plate to evaporate the leachate to dryness. The reside was re-dissolved in 100 ml of 2% HNO3 and reduced by evaporation to 10 mL. The solution was measured directly by CRC-ICP-MS/MS by setting the first quadruple analyzer to m/z 90 and introducing oxygen gas into the reaction cell for elimination isobar interference from zirconium-90. The method was validated by measurements of standard reference materials and applied on environmental soil samples. The overall time requirement for the measurement of strontium-90 by CRC-ICP-MS/MS is 2 days, significantly shorter than any radioanalytical protocol currently available.

Abstract:
Abstract Thorium dioxide is an important material for the nuclear industry. In the last decade, there has been a renewal of interest in studying the feasibility of thorium based fuel reactor to decrease the minor actinides production during the burn-up. Furthermore the resistance of the thorium dioxide to aqueous corrosion can make this material attractive for immobilizing tetravalent actinides. Leaching tests of powdered samples of thorium dioxide calcinated at 1300°C showed that the normalized dissolution rate is very low (between 10−6 and 10−7 g/(m2.d) in acidic media, and 10−9–10−10 g/(m2.d) after pH&gt;3 when the formation of colloïdes occurs. Thorium dioxide which is isomorphic with the actinide dioxides such as UO2, PuO2 allows the formation of solid solutions whatever the concentration of the actinide. Several solid solutions Th1−xUxO2 were synthesized with mole-ratios Th/(U+Th) ranging from x = 0 to 1. X-ray powder diffraction data allowed to check that the Vegard’s law is respected in all the range, and specific surface area was also measured. The resistance of the solid-solution to aqueous corrosion was measured as a function of several parameters (leaching time, leachate acidity, uranium concentration) and the kinetics of solid solutions dissolution was determined as a function of the uranium concentration. The stoechiometry of the release of both actinides was verified, however due to the oxidization of U (IV) in U (VI) in contact with the leachate, the dissolution rate of both thorium and uranium increases with the thorium substitution in the solid by uranium (TV).

Abstract:
Abstract Thorium Phosphate-Diphosphate (TPD) can be considered as a potential matrix for the immobilization of actinides and especially for the plutonium coming from dismantled nuclear weapons. The capability of this solid to form solid solutions by substitution of thorium by tetravalent uranium, neptunium or plutonium is rather high. The synthesis of sintered pellets of thorium-uranium(IV) phosphate-diphosphate was successfully performed. Their density reached 95–99% of the value calculated from XRD data. The open and closed porosities were equal to 2–3% each. The resistance of the TPD and derivative solid solutions to aqueous corrosion are also very good. Leaching tests of powdered samples containing tetravalent plutonium or uranium showed that the normalized dissolution rate remained low (between 10−5 and 10−6 g/(m2.d)) even in acidic media. For tetravalent actinides, the saturation of the leachate seems to be controlled by the precipitation of the thorium phosphate-hydrogenphosphate hydrate which solubility product was found to be KS,0°* = 10−66.6 ± 1. This very low value allows a supplementary delay of the actinides migration in the hypothesis of their release in the leachate from the matrix.
