Abstract: This study aimed at assessing the response of two experimental passive methane oxidation biocovers (PMOB) installed in a Brazilian landfill located in Guarapuava, State of Paraná. The PMOBs covered an area of ...

Abstract: The present work investigates the potential of two experimental field columns (FC-2 and FC-4) to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill located in Quebec, ...

Abstract: Methane oxidizing biosystems have received wide recognition in recent years as a cost effective and important means to reduce emissions from landfills. However, there is no documentation of the oxidation ...

Abstract: The efficiency of methane oxidation in passive methane oxidation biosystems (PMOBs) is influenced by, among other things, the intensity and distribution of the CH4 loading at the base of the methane oxidation ...

Abstract: The design process of passive methane oxidation biosystems needs to include design criteria that account for the effect of unsaturated hydraulic behavior on landfill gas migration, in particular, restrictions to ...

Abstract: Unpleasant odours generated from waste management facilities represent an environmental and societal concern. This multi-year study documented odour and total reduced sulfur (TRS) abatement in four experimental ...

Abstract: The goal of an instrumented experimental plot constructed on the Saint-Tite-des-Caps landfill site was to evaluate the field behaviour and the performance of a cover with capillary barrier effect (CCBE) to ...

Abstract: Biocovers constitute a promising technology to reduce fugitive and residual emissions from landfills throughout their operational life and after gas collection systems are turned off. The aim of this study was ...

Abstract: Estimates of methane (CH4) oxidation rates (Rg) in biocovers are crucial for development of abatement strategies. Rg values were estimated in a landfill biocover with a simple approach based on gas diffusion ...

Abstract: A model capable of describing the suction-induced consolidation curve (void ratio function) and water retention curve (WRC) of highly compressible materials (HCM) is developed, validated and finally applied to ...
