Clogging of the landfill drainage layer leads to a high leachate head developing over the bottom liner, which increases the risk of leachate leakage. Estimation of the maximum leachate head in the landfill drainage layer is of great significance to t...
The distribution of leachate in landfill systems significantly influences landfill stability, pollutant migration, and gas transport. However, existing methods for measuring leachate levels in landfills with multiple intermediate cover layers remain...
Orange peel (OP), the main residue of the citrus industry, is usually used for animal feeding and soil fertilisation if more advanced options are lacking. In areas with warm and dry climatic conditions, OP is land-spread for solar-drying on the field...
The distribution of leachate directly impacts the safety and stability of the landfill, so it is important to research the distribution of seepage characteristics and migration patterns of leachate. The study aims to investigate the impact of heterog...

Leachate collection system (LCS) clogging is a common operational problem in municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in China, which can result in high leachate levels that threaten the safety of landfill operations and subsequently increase the leacha...
The vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW) has become an attractive decentralised technology for septage treatment. One of the main purposes of the septage treatment is to reduce the volume of raw septage through dewatering, where the solids conten...
Mineral temporary capping systems of landfills are required to accomplish the long-term coverage prerequisites or to use them as a basis layer prior to later permanent sealing. Such a capping system for a municipal waste landfill in Rastorf (Northern...
The current research aims to study the impacts of adding corncob biochar to a sandy soil irrigated with drainage water on wheat productivity, heavy metals fate, and some soil properties that reflect healthy soil conditions. This research consists of...
The South River located in the city of Waynesboro, Virginia, contains mercury (Hg) contamination due to historical releases from an industrial facility operating between 1929 and 1950. In 2015, two sampling events were conducted in two of the contami...
The reclamation of acid-generating mine tailings typically involves building cover systems to limit interactions with water or oxygen. The choice of cover materials is critical to ensure long-term performance, and partly determines the environmental...
Phosphorus (P) lost via leaching from agricultural land is of major concern for water resource managers worldwide, and colloidal phosphorus (CP) may have a high contribution, since it is an important mobile form of P in soil and subsurface drainage....
Plant Microbial Fuel Cells (PMFCs) represent a promising technology that uses electroactive bacteria to convert the chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy. The addition of carbon pellet on electrodes may increase the specific surfac...
The seepage and diffusion of acid mine drainage (AMD) generated from self-heating coal gangue tailings caused acid pollution to the surrounding soil and groundwater. Red mud derived from the alumina smelting process has a high alkali content. To expl...
It is essential to develop effective mine waste management approaches and mine site reclamation techniques to curtail the adverse effects of mining processes on the natural environment. This study focuses on the use of partially desulphurized tailing...
Acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) is broadly accepted to be a major global environmental problem facing the mining industry, requiring expensive management and mitigation. A series of laboratory-scale kinetic leach column (KLC) experiments, using...
The anthropogenic pollution of lake ecosystems by human activities (e.g., mining industries) is recognized as a serious issue. The Osisko urban lake located in Rouyn-Noranda (Quebec, Canada) was used partially as a waste disposal facility for many de...
Soil salinization presents a significant challenge, driven by factors such as inadequate drainage, shallow aquifers, and high evaporation rates, threatening global food security. The sunflower emerges as a key cash crop in such areas, providing the o...
