“…Landfill leachate has been studied in many types of landfills such as municipal solid waste (MSW) (Di Bella et al, 2012), steel slags (Gomes & Ascenço, 2006) and polymetallic sulphide mining wastes (Kontopoulos et al, 1998;Cosme & Gomes, 2004). In these studies, leachate quantity and quality was assessed during different periods of time (Münnich, Bauer, & Frickle, 2012) and experimental works were carried out in order to prevent and mitigate leaching. Besides the traditionally known environmental problems derived from leachate, the nature of landfill materials may also be a concern.…”
