As an important parameter for estimation of methane generation from landfills, we measured ultimate methane yields (M0 VS) of various municipal solid waste (MSW) components, which were obtained by classifying bulk waste carried into S landfill in Korea. Food wastes exhibited the highest M0 VS of 420mL CH4/g VS. Misc. …

Drainage and liquid collection systems are components of fundamental importance in landfills and waste disposal areas. Sand, gravels and geosynthetics are materials commonly used as filters and draining media in landfill drainage systems. However, the waste itself contains elements that could be employed as drainage material. This paper presents an …
