"This project demonstrated the decomposition effect of preprocessing landfilled wastes as relates to leachate and gas production and the concentrations of the waste constituents in those leachates and gases. The study was performed in Franklin, Ohio, where five landfill test cells (buried concrete landfill simulators) were monitored. These five concrete test cells contained municipal refuse which was processed as follows: (1) shredded and baled; (2) baled; (3) baled and saturated with water; (4) shredded; and (5) unprocessed. These processing methods were evaluated by collecting leachate and gas samples to determine moisture balances, leachate pollutant concentrations, and gas compositions. Compared with unprocessed wastes, the baled wastes produced large quantities of dilute leachate, and the shredded wastes produced smaller quantities of more concentrated leachate. Gas composition data from the wastes were inconclusive because of numerous gas leaks and the small volume of gas produced in the system." |
