Seasonal changes of leachate production and quality from test cells
(1997) In Journal of Environmental Engineering 123(9). p.892-900- Abstract
- Seasonal changes oi leachate production and water-flux-dependent leachate quality from two test cells containing 4,000 t of refuse each were investigated. Pronounced seasonal dependence of the leachate production appeared three years after the final covering of the test cells. With seasonal dependent production, a number of leachate parameters showed water-Aux-dependent trends. The dependence was quantified with results from a five-month-long sampling program using correlation coefficients. The magnitude of changes appeared to indicate alternation between methanogenic and acidogenic phases. Reasons for the la-ge variations observed were sought with the assumption that different biochemical conditions dominated in different locations in the... (More)
