Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

Question

If the bicarbonate concentration of a leachate is 1000 mg/L and the pH measured in the field is found to be 5.8, estimate the partial pressure of the carbon dioxide within the landfill.

Estimate the life of a landfill (years) given a population of 250,000 people, 40 acre, a maximum depth of 50 feet below ground, a pit slope of 1:3 and final slope of 1:4. The coversoil occupies 22% of the compacted volume. There is a 42% diversion rate, the waste is compacted to 1,270 lb/yd3, the population is stable and generates 6.2 lb/capita/day. The landfill area is square and the max height of the landfill is 33 yd.
