应用于道路建设工程的封场垃圾填埋场综合整治案例

以重庆市九龙坡区科技路尾段二期道路整治工程项目为例,分析了封场后填埋场土地再利用的工程措施及效果。拟建道路穿越了重庆市九龙坡区兴隆垃圾填埋场。通过场地稳定化监测与评估发现,整治区域内垃圾有机质含量低、产气趋于衰竭,但部分区域CH₄和H₂S含量分别达到66.2%(体积分数)和62.2 mg·m⁻³(质量浓度),存在气体横向迁移引发燃烧爆炸或影响道路结构的风险,也易造成空气污染。鉴于此,本项目设置帷幕灌浆系统、填埋气主动导排及在线监测系统分别用于填埋气的阻隔、疏导和监测。结果表明,实施帷幕灌浆后,可切断垃圾填埋场与道路间填埋气的横向通道。当监测系统监测到气体浓度超过预设限值(CH₄的体积分数>5%,H₂S的质量浓度>0.6 mg·m⁻³)时,主动抽气导排系统自动启动,气体浓度可降至报警值以下。因此,联合帷幕灌浆、填埋气主动导排及在线监测技术可实现对填埋气的有效阻隔与控制,实现老龄垃圾填埋场场地的安全利用。

Study of colloidal content and associated heavy metals in landfill leachate: a case study of El-Akader landfill site: Jordan

Landfill leachate samples were collected anaerobically at six locations at the El-Akader landfill site in North Jordan. The collected leachate samples were separated into size fractions with special attention to the distribution of colloids and associated heavy metals. The fraction sizes were 1.2 μm. The maximum concentrations of heavy metals in the analysed leachate samples were Cd 0.6 μg/l, Ni 25 μg/l, Zn 245 μg/l, Cu 15 μg/l and Pb 2.50 μg/l. In the dissolved particular matter the heavy metals concentration ranges were Cd 0.1–1.1 μg/l, Ni 0.35–1.5 μg/l, Zn 85–105 μg/l, Cu 0–0.95 μg/l and Pb 0.5–2.5 μg/l.     

Economic evaluation of a landfill system with gas recovery for municipal solid waste management: a case study

Economic activity uses resources, which leads to waste generation. With rapid industrialisation and urbanisation, per capita solid waste generation has increased considerably. Solid waste generation data for last two decades shows an alarming increase. Owing to its improper and untimely collection, the transport and disposal of municipal solid waste poses a severe threat to various components of the environment and also to public health. This paper describes the merits and demerits of various technological aspects of solid waste management. Landfill technology, as it is the most widely employed and is regarded as the most suitable and simple mechanism, especially for tropical countries such as India, is emphasised. All possible costs and benefits and externalities are examined. A cost-benefit analysis of a landfill system with gas recovery (LFSGR) has been carried out for Mumbai city's solid waste, accounting for certain external costs and benefits, and found that it could make a huge difference of savings of about Rs. 6.366 billion (approx. $0.l40 billion) per annum with reference to the existing system of waste disposal.     

Long-term characterization, lagoon treatment and migration potential of landfill leachate: a case study in an active Italian landfill

The elaboration of 10 years of monitoring of leachate quality and quantity, leachate treatment and degree of contamination of soil and surface waters at the Tre Monti site--an active, 4-million-m(3) landfill in Northern Italy--is presented in this study. A hydrological model of leachate production is applied, with a good match of the experimental data. The concentrations of all leachate components except sulfate are characterized by fluctuations over a constant or increasing value. Different ways of interpreting leachate quality data are discussed; the elaboration indicates that the pollutant load on the leachate treatment facility will remain basically constant as long as waste will be added to the landfill. The analysis of the data relative to 10 years of leachate pre-treatment in the adjoining, non-aerated lagoon system indicates that a significant removal is achieved for most leachate components; the operational conditions of the plant are described, and the removal mechanisms are discussed. Finally, the potential for contamination of soil and surface waters is examined by analyzing long-term quality trends of the sub-superficial waters sampled near the lagoons and by means of an analytical campaign conducted on clay cores sampled near and underneath the treatment ponds. The experimental values indicate that the clay layer located under the entire site offers an effective barrier to the migration of leachate contaminants.

Effect of leachate recirculation on refuse decomposition rates at landfill site: a case study

In this study, a comparison of methane (CH₄) generation rates for two test cells, one operated with (enhanced) and another without leachate recirculation at Odayeri Sanitary Landfill were compared using their bio-chemical methane potentials (BMP). Initial methane potential is approximately 34.5 m3 CH₄/wet ton of solid waste. The remaining methane potential for the control (C1) and the enhanced (C2) cells are 32.6 m3 CH₄/wet ton and 31.1 m3 CH₄/wet ton of refuse after eight months of operation, respectively. The produced CH₄ quantities for C1 and C2 after eight months of operation are 1.9 m3 CH₄/wet ton and 3.4 m3 CH₄/wet ton, respectively. On the other hand, 5.5% and 9.9% of the total potential are generated in eight months. However, the CH₄ generation rates for the first year are determined as 2.85 and 5.10 m3/ton/year for C1 and C2 test cells, respectively. Due to the appropriate conditions such as moisture content, solid waste decomposition rate is enhanced at a rate of 79% at C2 test cell relative to C1 test cell. Hence, C2 test cell shows more decomposition relative to the C1 test cell.

Greenhouse gas emissions from municipal solid waste management in Indian mega-cities: a case study of Chennai landfill sites

Municipal solid waste generation rate is over-riding the population growth rate in all mega-cities in India. Greenhouse gas emission inventory from landfills of Chennai has been generated by measuring the site specific emission factors in conjunction with relevant activity data as well as using the IPCC methodologies for CH4 inventory preparation. In Chennai, emission flux ranged from 1.0 to 23.5mg CH4m(-2)h(-1), 6 to 460microg N2Om(-2)h(-1) and 39 to 906mg CO2m(2)h(-1) at Kodungaiyur and 0.9 to 433mg CH4m(-2)h(-1), 2.7 to 1200microg N2Om(-2)h(-1) and 12.3 to 964.4mg CO2m(-2)h(-1) at Perungudi. CH4 emission estimates were found to be about 0.12Gg in Chennai from municipal solid waste management for the year 2000 which is lower than the value computed using IPCC, 1996 [IPCC, 1996. Report of the 12th session of the intergovernmental panel of climate change, Mexico City, 1996] methodologies.

Carbon savings resulting from the cooling effect of green areas: a case study in Beijing

Green areas cool the climate of a city, reduce the energy consumption caused by the urban heat island (UHI) effect, and bring along carbon savings. However, the calculation of carbon savings due to the cooling effect of green areas is still not well understood. We have used a Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) image of Beijing, to identify the cooled areas, compute the possible energy used to maintain the temperature differences between cooled areas and their surrounding heated areas, and calculate the carbon savings owing to the avoidance of energy use. Results show that a total amount of 14315.37 tons carbon savings was achieved in the study area and the amount was related to the biomass, the size and the shape of green areas. These results demonstrate the importance of carbon savings resulting from green areas' cooling effect.

Source characterization of atmospheric heavy metals in industrial/residential areas: a case study in Oman

Total suspended particulate matter (TSP) was collected from two districts: the Sohar industrial estate (SIE) and a residential area in the case study area in Oman. The TSP collected from SIE was taken from 19 different industrial activities, whereas those collected from the residential area were taken from 12 houses. The samples were analyzed for nine heavy metals: chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel, lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium, vanadium, and molybdenum. The results were used to assess the source classes responsible for TSP and heavy metal levels in the atmosphere of the two districts. At each district, principal component analysis was applied to the concentrations of TSP and heavy metals to obtain the number of principal components. At SIE, three groups of elements were determined. The first component contained large factor loadings in Cu and Mn (Cu industrial processes and reinforcement steel production). The second presented most of the variance of Cr, Pb, and Zn (black and galvanized iron pipes production, mechanical industries, and vehicle construction). The third component was composed of Zn and Pb that probably reflected contributions from motor-vehicle tire wear or was associated with municipal incineration. On the other hand, results from the village showed that only one factor was able to explain the main part of the data variance, and the industrial site was polluting air quality in the village with Cu, Cr, Pb, nickel, and Mn.

Characteristics and management modes of domestic waste in rural areas of developing countries: a case study of China

A huge accumulation of domestic waste has caused serious environmental contamination in rural areas of developing countries (RADIC). The characteristics and management of domestic waste are carefully discussed, based on field surveys and a literature review. The results indicate that the generation in most of RADIC is less than the median of 0.521 kg day⁻¹ per capita in China, and much smaller than in rural areas of developed countries (RADEC). Organic waste and inert waste with an accumulative mass percentage of 72.31% are dominant components of domestic waste in the rural areas of China. There are trends of increasing amounts of kitchen waste, paper/cardboard, and plastic/rubber and a decreasing trend of ash waste. The RADIC composition of domestic waste had a high content of organic waste and a low content of recyclable waste compared to the RADEC. Domestic waste has good compressibility and a light bulk density ranging from 40 to 650 kg m⁻³. The moisture, ash, combustible, and calorific values of domestic waste were 53.31%, 18.03%, 28.67%, and 5368 kJ kg⁻¹, respectively. The domestic waste has an abundance of nutrients including organic matter (39.05%), nitrogen (1.02%), phosphorus (0.50%), and potassium (1.42%). In RADIC, domestic waste can be used as an agricultural manure only after it has been collected and sorted for the potential risk of heavy metal accumulation. Based on these characteristics of domestic waste and the different situations of rural areas, four waste management modes including centralized treatment, decentralized treatment, group treatment, and mobile treatment are designed and discussed.

     

Mapping aerial metal deposition in metropolitan areas from tree bark: a case study in Sheffield, England

We investigated the use of metals accumulated on tree bark for mapping their deposition across metropolitan Sheffield by sampling 642 trees of three common species. Mean concentrations of metals were generally an order of magnitude greater than in samples from a remote uncontaminated site. We found trivially small differences among tree species with respect to metal concentrations on bark, and in subsequent statistical analyses did not discriminate between them. We mapped the concentrations of As, Cd and Ni by lognormal universal kriging using parameters estimated by residual maximum likelihood (REML). The concentrations of Ni and Cd were greatest close to a large steel works, their probable source, and declined markedly within 500 m of it and from there more gradually over several kilometres. Arsenic was much more evenly distributed, probably as a result of locally mined coal burned in domestic fires for many years. Tree bark seems to integrate airborne pollution over time, and our findings show that sampling and analysing it are cost-effective means of mapping and identifying sources.

Sharing goals by timely communication improves fishermen's satisfaction with marine protected areas: A case study in the Mediterranean

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are considered as a valid tool for mitigating the impact of fishing on marine ecosystems. Their success depends upon their acceptance by implicated stakeholders and on the integration of the stakeholder groups into their management. This integration is especially important with regard to fishermen, whose interests are the most directly affected by MPAs. The relational coordination method posits that effective communication and supportive relationships among stakeholders result in positive stakeholder behaviors and a more effective management of the system. Applying its principles, we designed a survey to evaluate the satisfaction of fishermen associated with five MPAs in the Spanish Mediterranean and determine what mechanisms affect fishermen’s acceptance of MPAs. Our results demonstrate that effective communication is particularly important for good supportive relationships and satisfaction among fishermen and other stakeholder groups, as well as satisfaction with the MPA. Sharing objectives with fishermen through timely communication is the primary mechanism to improve fishermen''s satisfaction and ameliorate perceptions towards MPA. To address this issue, we recommend more substantial integration of fishermen in the co-management of MPAs.     

Economic analysis of environmental problems in textile dyeing units: a case study from Ranaghat, West Bengal

The dye and dye intermediaries industry is an important segment of the chemical industry that provides inputs to a large number of industries. Currently, the Indian dyestuff industry is in the midst of a major restructuring and consolidation phase. With the emphasis on product innovation, rebuilding and environmental friendliness, this industry is increasingly moving towards greater customer orientation. Given the dynamic nature of the dyestuff industry in India and its tremendous potential, this study aims to conduct an economic analysis of the industry, with specific reference to its inherent environmental problems. The scope of the study was limited to a study of some units in Ranaghat, a town in the Nadia district of West Bengal. The potential environmental problems and the health hazards arising as results of dyes and dye production have been investigated. A case study of a dyeing unit in Ranaghat is presented, highlighting the negative impact on the water quality of its adjoining river, followed by some suggestions on ways of handling the pollution problem. A cost–benefit analysis of a dyeing unit in Ganganagar, and application of the results to the dyeing industry in Ranaghat, is also reported. The study also suggests some policies for consideration.
