Analysis of the role of the sanitary landfill in waste management strategies based upon a review of lab leaching tests and new tools to evaluate leachate production

Abstract

This paper reviews the role of sanitary landfills in current and future waste management strategies based upon the principles and the goals established by the European Framework Directive on Waste (2008/98/EC). Specific reference is made to studies of our research group regarding new tools developed to evaluate leachate production, taking into account the different characteristics of municipal solid waste (MSW). Laboratory leaching tests and a methodology proposed to interpret the results are described and discussed, as well as tools developed to estimate landfill leachate production. Residual flows produced by mechanical-biological treatment (MBT) plants, mainly Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) and Stabilized Organic Waste (SOW), incineration and composting plants are considered in particular. Experimental results showed that the most suitable end-uses or disposal options for the outputs of waste treatment plants are site-specific and should be defined on the basis of a detailed characterization. The application of the model developed to assess landfill leachate production showed a very good agreement with field data. O Papel do aterro sanitário na gestão do lixo com base em uma revisão de novos instrumentos para avaliar a produção de chorume no mesmo aterro RESUMOEste artigo revisa o papel dos aterros sanitários nas estratégias atuais e futuras de gestão de resíduos com base nos princípios e objetivos estabelecidos na diretiva europeia sobre o lixo 2008/98/EC. O texto baseia-se especificamente nos estudos de nosso grupo de pesquisa sobre novas ferramentas desenvolvidas para avaliar a produção de lixiviados, levando-se em consideração as diferentes características dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU). Os testes de lixiviação em laboratório e uma metodologia proposta para interpretar os resultados são descritos e discutidos, bem como foram desenvolvidas ferramentas para estimar a produção de Palavras-chave: metais Pesados, processo biológico-hidrológico, teste em coluna.

Waste handling model based on local function

“…Solid waste is a social burden that requires the introduction of reliable public policies, including the principles of recycling and technological facilities ( 37 ). The application can be used as an example of sustainable solutions to regional environmental problems ( 38-44 ). Environmental conditions and clean health behavior can prevent disease ( 45 ).…”

Analysis of Utilization of Electricity Renewed From Methane Gas Organic Waste Product

“…As for the definition of waste, it is waste that is unwanted residual material after the end of a process. In most of the recent EU member countries, as well as Spain and Greece, instead, sanitary landfilling is still the mostadopted waste management strategy (>50%) [9].…”
