Measures of Rainwater and Sewage Shunting in Chongqing Changshengqiao Sanitary Landfill

This paper focuses on the measures of rainwater and sewage shunting in Chongqing Changshengqiao sanitary landfill. The catchment area of this landfill is totally about 331700 square meters. If the rainwater blends with the sewage, the processing load of the leachate will increase greatly. Thus, the measures of rainwater and sewage shunting must be taken during solid waste filling. In this paper, the authors firstly analyze the measures of rainwater collection and drainage and establish the guideline of pumping assisted by draining. Furthermore, according to the practical situation of landfill, a detailed plan is set down for rainwater and sewage shunting. The effect is quite evident after implementation of the plan for half a year. The processing load of the leachate has been reduced largely. It is proven that the shunting measures are feasible.     

Pressure Distribution of LFG in a Landfill with Vertical Extraction System

In present engineering practice of landfill gas pollution control and its recovery, technical parameters such as extraction flow and radius of influence of a extraction well must be determined by field tests. A mathematical model for LFG migration under a vertical extraction well is established, which comprehensively reflects affects of several parameters including LFG generation rate, extraction flow, air permeability, buried depth of a extraction well and features of the cover layer. By using the model, pressure distribution of LFG around a vertical extraction well in a landfill can be calculated, the radius of influence of the well can also be determined.     

固化污泥对渗滤液中氟阻滞作用的数值分析

固化污泥是一种新型填埋场底部防渗阻滞材料,为论证其防渗阻滞作用的有效性,需进行典型污染物的穿透试验,但由于固化污泥渗透性很低,采用常规土柱试验很难得到污染物透过其迁移时的相关参数。为解决该问题,用柔性壁渗透试验代替传统土柱试验。渗滤液中污染成分较多,取含量较高且较易穿透的污染物即氟离子作为典型污染物,首先进行穿透试验获得迁移参数,然后结合二维有限元法研究分析其在防渗阻滞层及周边岩土环境中60 a内的运动迁移范围、浓度分布情况,并对比分析未设防渗阻滞层的情况。研究表明,在填埋场底部设置固化污泥防渗层对于以氟为代表的阴性污染物有较好的延迟阻滞作用。由于阳性污染物的穿透能力较阴性污染物弱,因而固化污泥防渗层对重金属等阳性污染物也应具有较强的阻滞作用,从而能进一步延迟填埋场渗滤液对周边环境的污染。     

Hydraulic Balance and Design of Covering System in Landfills

In order to solve desiccation cracks of conventional compacted clay cover system in arid and semi arid areas, three alternative evapotranspiration (ET) covers were proposed.One alternative option configuration consisted of 1m vegetation soil layer and 1m barrier soil layer, while two additional alternatives contained biointrusion barriers layer placed at different depths within the structural profile.Considering precipitation and evapotranspiration, a one dimensional moisture transport model through multilayer unsaturated soil was developed.By the case study of four covering systems under precipitation and evapotranspiration intensity of Dalian city at 1976, it was shown that the compacted clay layer of the traditional landfill cover could not get effective moisture charge.ET cover act as a reservoir during precipitation events and subsequently returned it to atmosphere as evapotranspiration.The biointrusion barriers layer located in the second ET cover design would restrict animal movement and play a key role in drainage.Consequently, these results would be used to assist in decisions making of the landfill cover system in semi arid areas.     

Experimental Simulation of Landfill Gas Production from MSW Co-disposed with Wastewater Sludge

In this paper, the landfill gas generation process was investigated by a landfill lysimeter of municipal solid waste (MSW) co-disposed with wastewater sludge. The experimental results show that the wastewater sludge played a role of inoculation in MSW degradation process and accelerated organic waste decomposition. Compared with the MSW landfill alone, the landfill gas generation rate of MSW co-disposed with sludge was higher by about 30%. The average CH 4 content in landfill gas reached 64%, which was much higher than in case of MSW landfill alone and useful for landfill gas utilization. It is also proved that co-disposal of sludge with MSW is a good choice for beneficial use of sludge.

Landfill Leachate Treatment by Cavitating Water Jets

Cavitating water jets were used to degrade complicated organic compounds sampled from landfill leachate from a sanitary landfill in Chongqing, P. R. China. The law of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and the impact of factors such as pumping pressure, confining pressure, cavitating time and pH were evaluated in the experiment. We concluded that a cavitating water jet can degrade complicated organic compounds. Cavitating water jets therefore can improve biological oxygen demand (BOD)5/COD. The optimal cavitating condition was also obtained: at a pH 9.0, confining pressure 0.6MPa, cavitating time 90mins and pumping pressure 10MPa,the COD, BOD5 and BOD5/COD increase to 124.8%, 293.3% and 52.44% respectively. Chromaticity decreases while SS increase to 191.5%. These changes create good conditions for subsequent treatment.     

Analytical Solution for One Dimensional Contaminant DiffusionThrough Unsaturated Soils Beneath Landfills

A one-dimensional diffusion model was developed to investigate contaminant distributions in unsaturated soils beneath a landfill. On the basis of the assumption that the volume water content is a linear function of depth, the analytical solution of the model was obtained by using the method of separation of variables combined with generalized orthogonal theory. The results obtained by the proposed analytical solution agree well with those obtained by the finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2. The proposed analytical solution can be degraded to the steady-state solution. When the maximum volume water content of 0.6 and minimum volume water content of 0.3 is assumed for an unsaturated soil, the 100-year contaminant flux at the bottom of unsaturated soil was 91 g/ha/a, which is 1.4 times greater than that of the case assuming porosity of 0.3 for the saturated and 0.7 times less than that with a saturated volume water content of 0.6. When the sum of the top and bottom volume water content of the unsaturated soil remains constant, the relative concentration at the bottom of the soil will decrease with increase of the volume water content at the top of the soil. The bottom contaminant flux was not greatly affected by the variation of the distribution of volume water content when the sum of the top and bottom volume water content remains constant. The proposed analytical solution is relatively simple, and can be used for verification of complicated numerical models, experimental data fitting, and preliminary design of landfill liner systems.     

Greenhouse Gas Control for Landfill

Character of Coalbed Methane Enrichment Controlled by Hydrological Geology in Libi Gorge Anticlines

The drain character and hydraulic linking are studied by analyzing the property of water-bearing and water-resisting, groundwater flowing and hydrochemistry character in Libi Gorge anticline. According this, the character of methane enrichment controlled by hydrological geology in the region is researched. It is indicated that Libi Gorge belongs to block anticline gas pool sealed by water pressure. In shallow layers, the water-bearing layers are controlled obviously by atmospheric water. The groundwater flows actively, drains nearby, but has no influence on the coalbed methane; in middle layers, the coal-bearing layers contain water weakly and the water flows slowly. The water has a roof and bottom enclosed effect on gas in water network ; in deep layers, the layers contain water weakly. The groundwater stops running and has a bottom enclosed effect on gas in water network. The most of faults are pressure faults, upper of them is water guiding, lower of them resisting. They enclose the gas by pressure. In addition, it is important for thickening rock character to enclose the gas.

A radial basis function neural network based self adapting predictive decoupling control system for gas collector pressure in coke ovens

Pressure is measured at different levels in the loop layer because self adapting predictive decoupling control systems are strongly coupled, disturbed, and non linear and there is a long time delay for gas collector pressure systems in coke ovens. By combing the traditional neural network control and proportional integral differential(PID) controllers based on radial basis function(RBF) neural network identification, the gas collector pressure is ensured to reach the desired technology range. The prediction model of an RBF neural network is used for advanced prediction of the actual output pressure to overcome delays in general gas collection. The simulation results and application indicate that the method can obtain ideal control results.     

Existing Situation on Disposal of Sludge from Wastewater Treatment Plant in Three-Gorges Reservoir Area

At present 18 wastewater treatment plants operateing in the Small towns of Three Gorge Areas of Chongqing Municipality, producing 132.95 tons surplus sludge everyday. As regards to the disposition of such numerous surplus sludge, the major disposition technique in these wastewater water treatment plants, i. e. , thickening and mechanical dewatering technique followed by feeding into the municipal solid waste landfill, seems to have a rather bad effect on the normal operation of the municipal solid waste landfill, due to the unstabilized sludge resulted from this technique of the sludge disposition and high moisture in the sludge, which is higher than 80%. This paper has paid some attention to this phenomenon. With respect to the small towns having the the municipal solid waste landfill, the techniques of mechanical dewatering, calcareousness stabilized etc. before feeding into the municipal solid waste landfill, seem to be feasible, while the composting and comprehensive utilization of sludge is available in the small towns which have no municipal solid waste landfills.
