Retrospective evaluation of the effects of selected industrial wastes on municipal-solid-waste stabilization in simulated landfills

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6282127
The report is a retrospective evaluation of ten years of leachate and gas data collected from 19 simulated landfills (landfill cells) containing municipal solid waste codisposed with sewage sludge or industrial wastes. Physical and chemical parameters from each landfill cell are compared to conceptualized landfill stabilization patterns in order to identify those cells that achieved rapid biological stabilization (RBS). Selected leachate and gas constituent concentrations are also compared between cells in order to draw conclusions regarding the influence of codisposed wastes and other variables on landfill performance.
