Permeability test and slope stability analysis of municipal solid waste in Jiangcungou Landfill,Shaanxi, China

With the rapid increase of city waste, landfills have become a major method to deals with municipal solid waste. Thus, the safety of landfills has become a valuable research topic. In this paper, Jiangcungou Landfill, located in Shaanxi, China, was investigated and its slope stability was analyzed. Laboratory tests were used to obtain permeability coefficients of municipal solid waste. Based on the results, the distribution of leachate and stability in the landfill was computed and analyzed. These results showed: the range of permeability coefficient was from 1.0 × 10^–7 cm sec^–1 to 6.0 × 10^–3 cm sec^–1 on basis of laboratory test and some parameters of similar landfills. Owing to the existence of intermediate cover layers in the landfill, the perched water level appeared in the landfill with heavy rain. Moreover, the waste was filled with leachate in the top layer, and the range of leachate level was from 2 m to 5 m in depth under the waste surface in other layers. The closer it gets to the surface of landfill, the higher the perched water level of leachate. It is indicated that the minimum safety factors were 1.516 and 0.958 for winter and summer, respectively. Additionally, the slope failure may occur in summer.

Implications: The research of seepage and stability in landfills may provide a less costly way to reduce accidents. Landslides often occur in the Jiangcungou Landfill because of the high leachate level. Some measures should be implemented to reduce the leachate level. This paper investigated seepage and slope stability of landfills by numerical methods. These results may provide the basis for increasing stability of landfills.     

表面活性剂淋滤对土壤中邻苯二甲酸酯纵向迁移的影响

以无表面活性剂的去离子水为对照、设置1倍(1 CMC)和2倍临界胶束浓度(2 CMC)浓度,研究了单一和混合表面活性剂,包括十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)、十二烷基苯磺酸钠(SDBS)和曲拉通X-100(TX-100)对人工污染土壤中邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)纵向迁移的影响,土柱中上层为PAEs污染土(3 cm),下层为清洁土(20 cm)。CTAB和SDBS在2 CMC时、TX-100为1 CMC时可增强污染土中PAEs的纵向迁移,其中DMP和DEP有无表面活性剂均可发生迁移,在相同表面活性剂条件下,延长老化时间对污染土中PAEs的迁移产生一定的影响。CTAB和SDBS在2 CMC时,清洁土中PAEs总含量较低,但TX-100在1 CMC时较低。清洁土中PAEs总含量均随土层深度的增加而降低。当老化时间较短时,土壤有机质对PAEs在清洁土柱的迁移影响较小,老化时间的延长对清洁土中的PAEs迁移影响较大。3种表面活性剂均可有效促进清洁土中DMP和DEP的迁移,CTAB和SDBS在2 CMC、TX-100在1 CMC时可促进DNBP和BBP的迁移,但3种表面活性剂对清洁土中DNOP迁移的影响较小。与单一表面活性剂相比,混合表面活性剂有助于污染土中PAEs的迁移,且随着浓度的升高,清洁土中PAEs的含量呈现降低的趋势。就整个土柱而言,单一表面活性剂CTAB和SDBS在较高浓度时、TX-100较低的浓度时对PAEs的淋滤效果更好;在较短老化时间下,土壤有机质含量的高低对淋滤率没有显著影响;老化时间延长有效降低了淋滤率;而混合表面活性剂的淋滤率有明显提高,更有助于PAEs的迁移。     

Spectroscopic studies of the progress of humification processes in humic substances extracted from refuse in a landfill

Humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) extracted from refuse in a landfill at different landfill ages were characterized by elemental composition, GPC, FTIR, and (13)C CP/MAS NMR. The elemental composition analysis revealed high O/C and low H/C ratios in the FA, indicating a high proportion of O-alkyl and carboxylic acids in the FA. The M(w) and M(n) values and M(w)/M(n) ratios indicated that the HA had a higher molecular weight and were more homogeneous with respect to molecular weight. FTIR spectra showed that the FA had relatively more intense bands assigned to aliphatic structures and were abundant in oxygen-containing function groups. The analytical results of (13)C CP/MAS NMR suggested that there were more oxygenated aliphatic carbons and fewer aromatic carbons in the FA than in the HA. All the results demonstrated that the degree of humification increased with landfill age.     

Effects of black carbon and montmorillonite clay on multiphasic hexachlorobenzene desorption from sediments

The desorption kinetics of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in four freshly spiked artificial sediments were determined using a polymeric adsorbent Tenax-mediated desorption. The sediments included a standard sediment (SS) prepared as per Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development 218 guidelines and three derived artificial sediments prepared by supplementing the SS sediment with various levels of black carbon (lamp black soot) and/or montmorillonite clay. The desorption kinetics exhibited biphasic behavior, i.e., a fast desorbing fraction followed by a slow desorbing fraction. The addition of either lamp black soot or montmorillonite clay resulted in the reduction of the fast desorbing fraction (Ffast) of HCB in three derived sediments compared with SS sediment. Both black carbon and montmorillonite clay treatment effects on the fast desorbing fraction were statistically significant for the four artificial sediments. The black carbon treatment (i.e., addition of 0.5% wt/wt lamp black soot) effect was an average reduction of Ffast by approximately 11%, whereas the montmorillonite treatment (i.e., addition of 15% wt/wt montmorillonite clay) effect was an average reduction of Ffast by approximately 17%. The presence of soot black carbon particles reduced the desorption rate of HCB in sediments since black carbon exhibits very high sorption capacity and extremely slow diffusion rate compared with those of the natural organic matter in sediment.

Characterization of humic and fulvic acids extracted from landfill by elemental composition, 13C CP/MAS NMR and TMAH-Py-GC/MS

Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) extracted from landfills at different landfill ages were characterized by elemental composition, (13)C CP/MAS NMR, and TMAH-Py-GC/MS. The elemental composition analysis revealed high O/C and low H/C ratios in the FA, indicating a high proportion of O-alkyl and carboxylic acids in the FA. The analytical results of (13)C CP/MAS NMR suggested that there were more oxygenated aliphatic carbons and fewer aromatic carbons in FA than in HA. The Py-GC/MS products showed that the HA and FA extracted from the refuse in the landfill were mainly composed of various lignin-derived compounds. Oxidized aromatic acid derivatives originated from the oxidation of side-chains of lignin-like compounds, and this process played a significant role in the process of HA and FA formation in the landfill. All of the results demonstrated that the degree of humification increased with landfill age.     

Control of metal toxicity, effluent COD and regeneration of gel beads by immobilized sulfate-reducing bacteria

Over the last few decades, the use of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the treatment of heavy-metal containing wastewaters including acid mine drainage has become a topic of scientific and commercial interest. However, technical difficulties such as the sensitivity of SRB to toxic metals and high effluent COD limit the widespread use of SRB in high heavy-metal containing wastewater. The aim of this study was to clarify the reasons why the immobilized SRB sludge with inner cohesive carbon source (ISIS) process can endure high metal toxicity and decrease effluent COD. The ISIS process can physically set apart SRB and free the system of external influences such as the surrounding toxic metallic ions, as well as form inner carbon sources to avoid high effluent COD. Metal toxicity and bead durability are the two major factors which influence the regeneration and reuse of gel beads. Reuse of suspended SRB sludge and beads crosslinked with boric acid were unsuccessful due to metal toxicity and agglomeration of beads, respectively. However, beads crosslinked with ammonium sulfate prevented agglomeration of beads allowing successful bead regeneration and reuse. The result of four cyclic trials showed that over 99% of zinc was removed in each trial using these beads.
