Project description:This data brief presents leachate disposal and management data for 43 active or closed municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and planar surface areas for 40 of those landfills in Ohio, USA. Data were extracted from publicly available Annual Operational Reports from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) and consolidated into a digital dataset of two delimited text files. A total of 9,985 data points represent monthly leachate disposal totals, arranged by management type and by landfill. Leachate management data for some landfills extend from 1988-2020 but are mostly limited to 2010-2020. Annual planar surface areas were identified from topographic maps in the annual reports. A total of 610 data points were created for the annual surface area dataset. This dataset aggregates and organizes the information, allowing for accessibility and increased application to engineering analysis and research projects.

Project description:Solid waste generation is attested to be unavoidable product of human activities. Sustainable management of such waste is a pressing challenge faced in many developing countries today. The study was motivated by the fast growing population and the inefficient waste management system threatening the public health and the image of Shashemene city in Ethiopia. The objectives of the study were: to explore the existing household solid waste management practices, to examine the current governance system of municipal solid waste management, to investigate the contemporary challenges and opportunities of municipal solid waste management, and forward integrated and sustainable municipal solid waste management system for Shashemene city. Data were collected from sampled households, key informants, focus groups, and the city's environment. Data were analyzed by employing quantitative and qualitative methods. 94.8 % of the respondents opined that the solid waste generated in their city is organic in nature (Ash, and sweeps; leftover food, and vegetable peels; paper, and cardboards; green leaves, and grass; and cattle dung). 96.7 % of respondent households opined that they have temporary waste storage in their yards and trash bags were asserted to be widely used (87.6 %) in handling the trash in the courtyard. The waste sorting and recovering practices among the residents is very low and is certainly the major cause for inefficient and unsustainable management system of municipal solid waste in Shashemene city. Generally, a grand mean of 2.23 confirmed the absence of good governance in municipal solid waste management system in Shashemene city. Moreover, the significant proportion of responses ( ≥ 50 %) for each of the nine principles of good governance as either poor or very poor asserted governance failure of the municipal solid waste management system in Shashemene city. The results of the study confirmed that low public awareness on waste management; inadequate collection capacity; poor integration and coordination of stakeholders; environmentally unsound dump site; and illegal dumping by key stakeholders are the major challenges underpinning the unsustainable municipal solid waste management in the city. It is recommended that Shashemene city must adopt integrated sustainable municipal solid waste management system to substantially enhance the waste management service in the city leading to ultimate advancement of public health and environmental quality.

Project description:Groundwater pollution resulting from leachate leakage at landfill sites has garnered significant attention. Investigating the migration of pollutants from these landfills to adjacent groundwater is crucial for understanding the diffusion patterns and extent of contamination. It is imperative to develop cost-effective yet highly efficient tracer techniques to aid landfill operators in monitoring groundwater contamination stemming from their operations. The primary objective of this research was to compare the roles of conservative tracers sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-), and conventional pollutants permanganate oxidation (CODMn), ammonium nitrogen (NH4 +-N), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) in assessing pollution levels from municipal solid waste landfills to groundwater. For this purpose, a typical municipal solid landfill was selected to investigate the origin of Cl-, groundwater quality, and spatiotemporal variations of multiple contaminations. Geochemistry analyses revealed that Na-Cl and Ca-HCO3 were the dominant groundwater type in this study and landfill was the primary source of Cl- in groundwater, with an average contribution of 78 %. Groundwater in proximity to the landfill (5#, 2#, 22#, 23#) exhibited elevated concentrations of Na+ (15.6-914.0 mg/L), Cl- (8.9-1352.0 mg/L), CODMn (0.54-95.9 mg/L), and NH4 +-N (0.33-49.0 mg/L), yet demonstrated reduced levels of Pb (0.2-391.0 μg/L) and Zn (2.0-112.8 μg/L). In contrast, groundwater located at a considerable distance from the landfill (13#, 18#, 15#, 26#) displayed the inverse trend, with relatively low concentration of Na+ (3.2-8.5 mg/L), Cl- (0.1-0.7 mg/L), CODMn (0.28-4.78 mg/L), and NH4 +-N (0.03-0.52 mg/L), but increased levels of Pb (1.2-483.0 μg/L) and Zn (1.6-357.0 μg/L). The primary determinant of groundwater quality near the landfill was NH4 +-N, with the highest pollution index (Pi) of 492.85, whereas Pb was the predominant factor affecting water quality in areas distant from the landfill, with the highest pollution index (Pi) of 10.9. While no discernible seasonal variation was detected for all pollutants, spatial variation can be observed that pollution levels decreased progressively with increasing distance from the landfill, a trend particularly corroborated by the conservative Cl- and Na+ measurements. This research suggests that conservative ions, such as Cl- and Na+, exhibit superior efficacy in tracing the pollution range from municipal solid landfills to groundwater. Therefore, monitoring these conservative ions in groundwater can yield a more precise understanding of the extent of groundwater contamination originated from landfills.

Project description:Municipal solid waste (MSW) management systems play a crucial role in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in China. Although the government has implemented many policies to improve the MSW management system, the impact of these improvements on city-level GHG emission reduction remains largely unexplored. This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of both direct and downstream GHG emissions from the MSW sector, encompassing sanitary landfill, dump, incineration, and biological treatment, across 352 Chinese cities from 2001 to 2021 by adopting inventory methods recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The results reveal that (1) GHG emissions from the MSW sector in China peaked at 70.6 Tg of CO2 equiv in 2018, followed by a significant decline to 47.6 Tg of CO2 equiv in 2021, (2) cities with the highest GHG emission reduction benefits in the MSW sector were historical emission hotspots over the past 2 decades, and (3) with the potential achievement of zero-landfilling policy by 2030, an additional reduction of 203.7 Tg of CO2 equiv is projected, with the emission reduction focus toward cities in South China (21.9%), Northeast China (17.8%), and Southwest China (17.3%). This study highlights that, even without explicit emission reduction targets for the MSW sector, the improvements of this sector have significantly reduced GHG emissions in China.

Project description:Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration is one of the main techniques currently used for waste to energy (WTE) conversion in China. Although the sulfur content in MSW is lower than that in coal, its emission cannot be neglected due to environmental pollution, malodor, health problems, and global climate change. Therefore, it is particularly important to effectively predict and control the sulfur pollutants. In this study, a comprehensive model was developed and coupled with the full combustion process bed model bulk accumulated solids incineration code (BASIC) to investigate the formation and transformation processes of sulfur in MSW incineration. The submodels of the four stages in the MSW combustion processes; governing equations of mass, momentum, and energy conservation; and various chemical reactions were included in the model. Based on this model, the effects of different parameters on the formation of sulfur pollutants during the incineration process were studied under different operating conditions. The study finds that for SO X formation, initial temperature, primary air volume, and material particle size have significant impacts, whereas pressure shows a less significant effect. This article also considers H2S, COS, and CS2 formation under different conditions. An optimization study was performed to reduce SO X pollutants.

Project description:This paper analyzes the effective use of a mixture of fly ash (MSWI-FA) and solid waste from flue gas treatment (MSWI-SW), which are by-products of the municipal waste incineration process. MSWI-FA (19 01 13*) and MSWI-SW (19 01 07*) are classified as hazardous waste due to their toxic metal content and leaching potential, and currently lack practical applications, unlike slag and bottom ash (19 01 12). This study tested these wastes as partial substitutes for natural sand within a range of 0-20% of cement mass. Statistical analysis of the experimental results allowed the creation of good quality models predicting the effect of substitution additives on compressive strength and flexural strength (correlation 0.91 and 0.93, respectively). The mixture with the highest share of substitution additives (40% = 20% + 20%) was characterized by a decrease in compressive strength by 1.3% and flexural strength by 25.8%. Cement mortars synthesized with the waste mixture (up to 20% of each component) showed slightly lower consistency and water absorption than the control mortars. After the frost resistance tests (25 cycles), the flexural and compressive strength showed ambiguous behavior, showing both increases and decreases, indicating that the percentage of waste components alone is an insufficient set of factors for predicting these strength properties. The concentration of metal ions, i.e., Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Cr, in the eluate after the leaching tests did not exceed the legal levels of pollutants introduced into waters, with the exception of barium. However, its content did not exceed the permissible levels required for waste intended for landfill. Using the mixing plant for this waste in the amount of 20% each, we save about EUR 10 in the cost of purchasing sand (which is 13% of the production costs of 1 m3) and EUR 8 in the cost of environmental fees when producing 1 m3 of mortar. The proposed technology is compatible with the objectives of a sustainable economy.

Project description:Average biodegradation rate of newly filled municipal solid waste (MSW) in landfills is relatively fast, and the landfill gas produced by the new MSW biodegradation can cause great variations in gas pressure. To predict the gas pressure distribution in the MSW layer, a one-dimensional gas transport model is established in this study. The following factors are considered in this model: (1) the variation of gas permeability with depth; (2) the anisotropy ratio of gas permeability; (3) the settlement caused by waste biodegradation. Furthermore, a single peak model for gas production is applied as the source term of gas production. The equation for settlement caused by waste biodegradation is presented, and the time of peak gas production rate is obtained by fitting the settlement of the newly filled layer. The stratification of the unsaturated and saturated regions is taken into account by distinguishing the difference in gas saturation. The layering of the new and old waste layers is considered by distinguishing the difference in the length of time that waste has been degraded to produce gas. Based on the method of numerical calculation, the gas pressure distribution in the landfill with layered new and old MSW is well simulated. The position where the maximum gas pressure occurs is found. The sensitivity analysis shows that the influence of the anisotropy ratio on gas pressure distribution is more significant.

Project description:Landfills are the final repository for most of the discarded material from human society and its "built environments." Microorganisms subsequently degrade this discarded material in the landfill, releasing gases (largely CH4 and CO2) and a complex mixture of soluble chemical compounds in leachate. Characterization of "landfill microbiomes" and their comparison across several landfills should allow the identification of environmental or operational properties that influence the composition of these microbiomes and potentially their biodegradation capabilities. To this end, the composition of landfill microbiomes was characterized as part of an ongoing USGS national survey studying the chemical composition of leachates from 19 non-hazardous landfills across 16 states in the continental U.S. The landfills varied in parameters such as size, waste composition, management strategy, geography, and climate zone. The diversity and composition of bacterial and archaeal populations in leachate samples were characterized by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, and compared against a variety of physical and chemical parameters in an attempt to identify their impact on selection. Members of the Epsilonproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Clostridia, and candidate division OP3 were the most abundant. The distribution of the observed phylogenetic diversity could best be explained by a combination of variables and was correlated most strongly with the concentrations of chloride and barium, rate of evapotranspiration, age of waste, and the number of detected household chemicals. This study illustrates how leachate microbiomes are distinct from those of other natural or built environments, and sheds light on the major selective forces responsible for this microbial diversity.

Project description:The leachate collection system (LCS) and leak detection system (LDS) flow rate data from 240 cells (or a combination of cells) at 54 municipal solid-waste landfills (located in seven US states) with double-liner systems were analyzed to assess the performance of the primary liner system. The average LCS leachate collection rates for the study sites ranged from 380 L ha-1 day-1 (40.7 gal. acre-1 day-1) to 22,400 L ha-1 day-1 (2,390 gal. acre-1 day-1) on a sitewide basis, and the average LDS leachate collection rates ranged from 1.8 L ha-1 day-1 (0.2 gal. acre-1 day-1) to 577 L ha-1 day-1 (61.7 gal. acre-1 day-1) on a sitewide basis. Assuming all leachate generated is collected either by the LCS or LDS, the data suggest that the primary liner systems' aggregated efficiency is over 98%. The collection efficiency at sites that used a composite liner (geomembrane underlain by a geosynthetic clay liner or a compacted clay liner) system was not statistically different from the sites that used only a geomembrane as the primary liner (geomembrane underlain by a permeable layer) (median of 99% for both types). Leakage rates were compared with those estimated from the equations used by the hydrologic evaluation of landfill performance (HELP) model. The comparison suggests that the equations used by the HELP model to estimate leakage through the liner overestimate the leakage rate through geomembrane primary liners but underestimate the leakage rate through composite primary liners based on the HELP-model-default defect size and suggested defect frequency. It is also possible that groundwater intrusion could contribute to a portion of the leachate collected from the LDS because leachate quality data collected from a few sites indicated the LCS leachate had a higher concentration of most constituents than the leachate collected from LDS.
