Evaluating Landfill Chemical Emissions- Mid Auchencarroch Experimental Design

Abstract

The biodegradation of Mid Auchencarroch experimental landfill project is studied in four different cells. The aim is to better understanding the effects of waste pretreatment and landfill management techniques on leachate emissions and waste biodegradation processes. The variations of characteristic leachate indexes of landfill mass are presented and analyzed. The experimental Mid Auchencarroch's data confirm that waste pretreatment and leachate recirculation are sustainable and accelerate the waste biodegradation, protecting public health from probable hazardous landfill emissions.
