Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINVESTIGATING THE STANDARD PROCESS OF INCINERATION IN LANGKAWI ISLAND, MALAYSIAE. Shamshiry, M. Bin Mokhtar, A.M. AbdulaiDevelopment activities and increasing urbanization have direct impact on solid waste generation, especially in municipalities of the developing countries, which poses a major challenge to the authorities. Many various technologies and strategies can be used in the field of garbage procedures. Incineration is a well-organized approach and tool to decrease the volume of waste and insist for additional landfill area. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 May 2014 · 7,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerobic Biostabilization of Old MSW LandfillsM.C. ZanettiMany years after the end of the cultivation phase, landfills may generate intense odours, toxic and explosive gases and heavily-polluted leachate. A wide-spreading trend in the management of MSW landfills is represented by the forced aeration of wastes in order to achieve the stabilization, reducing the negative environmental impact of uncontrolled sites (old landfills which can be definitely considered as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Constructed Wetland Biological Integrity Using Aquatic MacroinvertebratesC. Galbrand, I. G. Lemieux, Abdel E. Ghaly et al.A surface flow constructed wetland consisting of seven cells was used to treat the leachates from a decommissioned landfill. Wetland monitoring was performed by evaluating the treatment efficiency of the landfill leachate and the wetland biological integrity of the wetland. The water quality samples were analyzed for iron, manganese, phosphorus (orthophosphate), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrogen (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of The Biological Integrity of The Native Vegetative Community In A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC. C. Galbrand, A. M. Snow, Abdel E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA study was conducted to evaluate the biological integrity of a constructed wetland receiving landfill leachate and stormwater runoff from the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The biological integrity of the constructed wetland was tested in the second growing season using vegetative community monitoring. The metrics analyzed were species diversity, species heterogeneity (dominance) and exotic/invasive species abundance. There was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison Between Biological Treatment and Chemical Precipitation for Nitrogen Removal from Old Landfill LeachateLong Tengrui, Anas F. Al-Harbawi, He Qiang, Zhai JunThe study reports the results of a laboratory scale investigation aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of mature municipal landfill leachate treatment by a biological stage (used SBBR as a biological treatment) and Chemical precipitation (Used MAP precipitation (magnesium ammonium phosphate)) to study the nitrogen removal capabilities for treatment of sanitary landfill leachate containing high ammonia concentration, and the comparison between … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,036 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Assessment and Monitoring of a Permeable Reactive Barrier for the Remediation of a Contaminated SiteValerio Zolla, Rajandrea Sethi, Antonio Di MolfettaThe present study illustrates the long-term monitoring plan carried out in order to investigate the performance of a zero-valent iron permeable reactive barrier (PRB) at a chlorinated solvents’ site. The cleanup intervention has been undertaken at an industrial landfill located near the city of Turin (Italy) and represents the first full-scale application of this technology in Italy. The monitoring plan … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Nitrogen Removal from Old Landfill Leachate by Sequencing Batch Biofilm ReactorLong Tengrui, Anas F. Al-Harbawi, Lin Ming Bo et al.Municipal landfill leachate is a high strength wastewater characterized by high concentrations of organics and ammonia and potentially containing toxic materials. The paper reports the results of a laboratory scale investigation aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of mature municipal landfill leachate treatment by a biological stage (used SBBR as a biological treatment) to study the nitrogen removal capabilities for treatment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 8,046 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUptake and Translocation of Iron by Native Tree Species In A Constructed Wetland Treating Landfill LeachatesA. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, R. Cote, A.M. SnowA surface flow wetland was constructed in the Burnside Industrial Park, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, to treat stormwater runoff from the surrounding watersheds which are comprised primarily of commercial properties and two former landfills. The objectives of this study were: (a) to compare the uptake of iron by red maple, white birch and red spruce trees growing under flooded soil conditions … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEstablishment and Evaluation of the Vegetative Community in A Surface Flow Constructed Wetland Treating Industrial Park ContaminantsC.C. Galbrand, A.M. Snow, A.E. Ghaly, R. CôtéA surface flow constructed wetland, designed to curve in a kidney shape in order to increase the length to width ratio to 5:1 was used to treat runoff from an industrial park. A natural wetland system located approximately 200 m downstream of the constructed wetland was selected to act as the vegetative community model for the constructed wetland. The selected … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,580 accessesView PDFCite
