The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of organic compound characteristics, leachate components, and the solid waste matrix on the fate of selected organic compounds codisposed with municipal refuse, focusing on sorption and volatilization processes. Test compounds included dibromomethane (DBM), trichloroethene (TCE), 1,4-dichlorobenzene (DCB), 2-nitrophenol (NP), nitrobenzene (NB), 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB), naphthalene (NAP), lindane (LIN), dieldrin (DIE), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and bis-(2-ethylhexy)phthalate (BEHP). Equilibrium sorbed and solution concentrations for nine test compounds were linearly related. The coefficient of linearity demonstrated a strong linear correlation with the octanol/water partition coefficient. Mobility was determined for the test compounds placed at the top of three glass columns frilled with fresh, acidogenic phase, and stable refuse. The experimental work described herein demonstrated the capacity of a municipal refuse landfill to attenuate and/or assimilate many organic compounds.
