Well-designed landfill management practices can enhance carbon sequestration by optimizing waste decomposition rates and minimizing carbon loss through leachate or gas emissions. A previous study found that optimized landfill management practices could increase carbon sequestration rates by up to 30%, ...
Society's demands for plastic materials continue to increase, but their impact on the environment cannot be denied due to the long decomposition periods. The destination for plastic waste is mostly in landfills. In the case of Indonesia, the Makassar landfill, the largest...

The energy potential of municipal solid waste landfills receded into the background compared to more traditional sources of energy. Such possibilities as landfill degassing, as well as extraction of thermal energy from the depths of landfills, were little-researched, due to bei...
The conversion of aromatic compounds into simpler molecule compounds was also verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. The lab-scale anode synthesis cost was evaluated as 0.42 USD.[GRAPHICS].Mandal, PubaliGupta, Ashok K.Dubey, Brajesh K.Environmental technology...
Temperature plays a crucial role in the performance of wetlands, as it improves overall efficiency. Oxygen accumulation in the wetland, either through photosynthesis or from the atmosphere, is essential for organic matter decomposition and nitrification. The growth of macrophytes, supp...
In addition, the metallic trace elements (MTEs) concentrations recorded for Cr, Fe, Al and Ni exceeded the threshold levels required in national standards, and their quantitative distribution followed the same pattern at both sites studied: Ni > Fe > Cr > Al > Zn > P...
From 1986 to 2022, Casablanca's main landfill produced a total of 800,000 m of leachate, which was stored in evaporation ponds, posing significant environmental risks. Our research not only concentrates on traditional chemical analyses for leachate assessments but also emphasiz...
TANGIER (Morocco)LANDFILLSWATER qualityMICROBIAL contaminationATOMIC absorption spectroscopyThis research provides the first assessment of the leachate impact on water sources near the newly installed Landfill and Recovery Center (LRC) in Tangier, Morocco, which has been operational...
A range finding test (RFT) was conducted by varying the concentration composition of the leachate compared to tap water, with the planting medium being 25% leachate: 75% tap water, 50% leachate: 50% tap water, 50% leachate: 75% tap water, and 100% leachate: 0% tap w...
