Fugitive methane emissions from two experimental biocovers constructed with tropical residual soils: field study using a large flux chamber
(2019)
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 ...
Two novel biofilters to remove volatile organic compounds emitted by landfill sites
(2016)
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, ...
Microbial methane oxidation at the Fíflholt landfill in Iceland
(2014)
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 ...
Influence of capillary barrier effect on biogas distribution at the base of passive methane oxidation biosystems: Parametric study
(2016)
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 ...
Landfill gas distribution at the base of passive methane oxidation biosystems: Transient state analysis of several configurations
(2017)
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 ...
Reduction of odours in pilot-scale landfill biocovers
(2014)
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 ...
Evaluation of the effectiveness of a cover with capillary barrier effect to control percolation into a waste disposal facility
(2011)
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 ...
Evaluation of methane oxidation efficiency of two biocovers: Field and laboratory results
(2012)
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 ...
Evaluation of methane oxidation in a landfill cover material using a simple indicator approach
(2011)
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 ...
Water retention curve and hydraulic conductivity function of highly compressible materials
Other titre : Courbe de rétention d’eau et fonction de conductivité hydraulique des matériaux hautement compressibles
(2007)
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 ...
