This study was carried out to apply some basic physical and chemical treatment options including Fenton's oxidation, and to evaluate the performances and the characteristics of organic and nitrogen removal using lab-scale biological treatment system such as complete-mixing activated sludge and sequencing batch reactor(SBR) processes for the treatment of leachate from a municipal waste landfill in Gyeongnam province. The results were as follows: Chemical coagulation experiments using aluminium sulfate, ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride resulted in leachate CO $D_{Cr}$ removal of 32%, 23% and 21 % with optimum reaction dose ranges of 10,000～15,000 mg/$\ell$, 1,000 mg/$\ell$ and 500～2,000 mg/$\ell$, respectively. Fenton's oxidation required the optimum conditions including pH 3.5, 6 hours of reaction time, and hydrogen peroxide and ferrous sulfate concentrations of 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$ each with 1:1 weight ratio to remove more than 50% of COD in the leachate containing CO $D_{Cr}$ between 2,000 ～ 3,000 mg/$\ell$. Air-stripping achieved to remove more than 97% of N $H_3$-N in the leachate in spite of requiring high cost of chemicals and extensive stripping time, and, however, zeolite treatment removing 94% of N $H_3$-N showed high selectivity to N $H^{+}$ ion and much faster removal rate than air-stripping. The result from lab-scale experiment using a complete-mixing activated sludge process showed that biological treatability tended to increase more or less as HRT increased or F/M ratio decreased, and, however, COD removal efficiency was very poor by showing only 36% at HRT of 29 days. While COD removal was achieved more during Fenton's oxidation as compared to alum treatment for the landfill leachate, the ratio of BOD/COD after Fenton's oxidation considerably increased, and the consecutive activated sludge process significantly reduced organic strength to remove 50% of CO $D_{Cr}$ and 95% of BO $D_{5}$ . The SBR process was generally more capable of removing organics and nitrogen in the leachate than complete-mixing activated sludge process to achieve 74% removal of influent CO $D_{Cr}$ , 98% of BO $D_{5}$ and especially 99% of N $H_3$-N. However, organic removal rates of the SBR processes pre-treated with air-stripping and with zeolite were not much different with those without pre-treatment, and the SBR process treated with powdered activated carbon showed a little higher rate of CO $D_{Cr}$ removal than the process without any treatment. In conclusion, the biological treatment process using SBR proved to be the most applicable for the treatment of organic contents and nitrogen simultaneously and effectively in the landfill leachate.e.

This study investigated environmental assessments of leachate containing formaldehyde from medium density fiberboard (MDF) disposed in laboratory-scale simulated landfills. Environmental impact assessment of leachate was conducted by measuring formaldehyde, toxicity, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), bacterial enumeration, and pH. Amount of formaldehyde in leachate from MDF in soil decreased to the level of soil only treatment by 28 days, and toxicity decreased as the amount of formaldehyde decreased. BOD and COD levels in leachate from the treatments containing MDF exceeded permissible discharge levels of BOD or COD throughout the experimental period. The pH levels of all treatment were within permissible discharge range except on day 0. Fewer bacteria were observed in leachate from MDF in soil treatment than other treatments (MDF only, cured UF resin in soil, and soil only). Consequently, the leachate from disposal of MDF in soil detrimentally affect on environment. However, soil buffered formaldehyde leaching and pH on leachate in this study. Waste MDF may be required the pre-water soaking treatment for leaching formaldehyde to reclaim on land.

In this research, applicability of electrochemical technology in removing nitrogenous compounds from solid waste landfill leachate was examined. Novel cathode material was developed at laboratory by introducing a Cu layer on Al substrate (Cu/Al). Al and mild steel (MS) anodes were investigated for the efficiency in removing nitrogenous compounds from actual leachate samples collected from two open dump sites. Al anode showed better performances due to the effect of better electrocoagulation at Al surface compared to that at MS anode surface. Efficiency studies were carried out at a current density of $20mA/cm^2$ and at reaction duration of 6 h. Efficiency of removing nitrate-N using Al anode and developed Cu/Al cathode was around 90%. However, for raw leachate, total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency was only around 30%. This is due to low ammonium-N removal as a result of low oxidation ability of Al. In addition to the removal of nitrogenous compounds, reactor showed about 30% removal of total organic carbon. Subsequently, raw leachate was diluted four times, to simulate pre-treated leachate. The diluted leachate was treated and around 88% removal of TN was achieved. Therefore, it can be said that the reactor would be good as a secondary or tertiary treatment step in a leachate treatment plant.

Lining systems are used for two purpose in landfills : as covers to minimize leachate generation and surface water contamination by providing a barrier from precipitation and other percolating waters, and as containment liners to contain leachate and minimize its downward migration into underlying groundwater. So identifying leaks in landfill liners is an essential part of waste management. There are many leakage detection systems to monitor and seek leakage location, such as two electrode method, electrode grid method, diffusion hoses, capacitance sensors and tracers sensing cables. However, most of them can be applied in the new landfill construction sites because sensors must be installed prior to work. This paper presents a new type of leakage detection system, so called fence type electrode arrangement system, to monitor leakage and to seek leakage location in working landfill as well as new landfill. This system is based on the measurement of an electrical current flowing through leakage point. Series of laboratory tests are performed to investigate an availability of this system and this paper present some of these results.

It is important to obtain real-time data from long-term monitoring of landfills and develop leachate leakage detection system for the integrated management of landfills. A novel real time monitoring system and early leakage detection system was suggested in this study. The suggested monitoring system is composed of two parts; (1) a set of moisture sensors which monitor the areas surrounding the landfill, and (2) a set of moisture and temperature sensors which monitor the landfill inside. For the assessment for landfills stabilization, real-time monitoring system was evaluated in dry and wet cell of pilot-site. In addition, the grid-net electrical conductivity measurement system was also suggested as early leakage detection system. In this study, the field applicability of suggested systems was evaluated through pilot-scale field tests. The results of pilot-scale field model tests indicate that the grid-net electrical conductivity measurement method can be applicable to the detection of landfill leachate at the initial stage of intrusion, and thus has a potential for monitoring leachate leakage at waste landfills.

차수막이 설치되어 있지 않은 매립장에서 하부 지반으로 누출된 침출수의 이동을 고려하였다. 일련의 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션의 결과를 검토하여 지반의 수리지질학적, 화학적 불균질성이 침출수 이동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 (1) 수리전도도(K)와 분배계수($K_d$)가 균질, (2) 수리전도도만 불균질, (3) 수리전도도와 분배계수가 모두 불균질 경우 등 3단계의 공간 변동성이 있는 가상 매립지 시스템을 시뮬레이션하였다. 포화 유동 모델과 오염물 이동 모델을 이용하여 지구통계학적 입력 인자들로부터 생성된 역상관관계의 랜덤 수리전도도-분배계수 장 내 침출수 이동을 평가하였다. 100회의 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션으로부터 얻은 결과에 대하여 평균, 표준편차, 변이계수와 같은 점기반 통계치들을 계산하였다. 통계치 결과에 따르면 매립 지반의 수리전도도와 분배계수의 불균질성은 침출수 농도를 제어하는 주요한 인자로서 수리전도도와 분배계수의 복합 불균질성을 반영함에 따라 오염물 이동의 변동성이 증가하였다. 또한 오염원과 감시정간의 거리가 커질수록 각 실현 간 침출수 농도의 변동성이 증가하였다.

Based on innovative membrane module concepts reverse osmosis and nanofiltration are going to become important instruments in environmental engineering. One example is the Disc-Tube-module and its application for the purification of landfill leachate. Currently over 45 different landfills are using this ROCHEM DT-module, in some cases combined with the high pressure reverse osmosis versions of this module, operating at up to 120 bar and 200 bar. This state of the art membrane technology and the DTF-module for nanofiltration, developed by ROCHEM on the basis of the DT-module and RO-systems for the purification of landfill leachate, make possible in hybrid processes permeate recovery rates of more than 97 % with concentration factors up to 40.

The ultimate Wastes generated after being treated safely and properly were land-filled in Wha Sung Treatment Plant, that of specific hazardous Wastes. There are three kinds of wastes being landfilled, which are sludges, ashes, and solidificated wastes with cement. This research scrutinizes the variations of leachate which originated from landfilled wastes amount to 30,000 ton with analizing the constituent, pH and concentration of wastes once per month since september, 1987. Now, we have some conclusions as followings; 1. The longer retention time of wastes in landfill site and the more quantity of filling-up, the closer pH of leachate to alkalinity. 2. As the quantity of copper and its compounds is over 90 percent of constituents loundfilled wastes, so the copper of leachate goes above treatment criteria. 3. There lis relationship between pH of leachate and eruption of copper and its compounds. The higher pH of leachate, the more secured copper and its compounds. So, we learn that solidificated wastes with cement is more secured than sludges and ashes. 4. The pH and concentration of copper in leachate is low in July and August, this is passing phenomenon which diluted by rainfall in rainy days. 5. The quantities of cadmium and lead of leachate was not over the treatment criteria.

본 연구는 침출수 재순환 공법과 산소요구량과 탄소요구량의 절감이 가능한 단축질소제거공법(shortcut biological nitrogen removal: SBNR)을 병합하여 침출수중의 암모니아와 유기물을 효과적으로 제거하는 방안에 대해 부피 약 200 $m^3$의 pilot 규모 매립지를 만들어 연구하였다. 매립지에서 발생한 침출수는 연속회분식반응기(sequencing batch reactor: SBR)형태의 on-site reactor에서 암모니아성 질소를 아질산으로 부분질산화 시킨 후 매립지로 재유입 시켜 지중탈질(in-situ denitrification)을 유도하였다. 침출수는 매립면적에 따른 년평균 강우량을 기준으로 약 221 L/cycle을 주당 3회 재순환 하였다. 그 결과 반응시간은 약 6시간으로 운전하였을 때 $NO_2^{-}-N/NO_x-N$의 비는 약 0.8에 이르러 효과적인 아질산 축적을 이룰 수 있었으며 온도저하로 인해 질산화의 저해가 일어나기 이전의 질산화 효율은 약 80%에 달하여 단축질소제거공정을 위한 아질산 축적이 가능함을 보여주었다. 이와 같이 SBR을 통해 질산화하여 재순환한 침출수의 $NO_x$-N는 모형 매립지 내에서 모두 제거할 수 있었으며, 침출수에 비교적 높은 농도의 황산염이 존재하여 황산염환원 및 황을 이용한 독립영양탈질반응이 매우 중요한 반응기전이 되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 침출수 재순환 공법과 단축질소제거공법을 병합한 조기안정화 기술은 매립지의 조기안정화와 침출수의 질소제거에 효과적인 공법으로 사용할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 폐기물매립지의 안정화 정도를 용이하게 평가하기 위하여 매립폐기물의 분해정도를 수치화 할 수 있는 매립지의 안정화 지수 개발을 목적으로 하였다. 안정화 지수를 개발하기 위하여 50개소의 사용종료 매립지를 대상으로 침출수 수질, 매립가스 조성, 매립폐기물의 물리화학적 특성 자료를 수집하여 이들의 매립연령별 환경특성을 고찰하였다. 그리고 이들 환경지표중 폐기물매립지의 안정화와 상관도가 높은세부 환경지표로서 침출수의 BOD/CODcr, 발생가스중의 $CH_4$농도, 매립폐기물의 C/N가 안정화 지표로 선정하였다. 각 지표에 대한 매립연령별 추세선을 이용하여 지수화한 결과 매립지 안정화 지수로 다음과 같은 식을 얻을 수 있었다. $$I_{LS}=S_L+S_G+S_W$$ $$S_L=-\{4.892+16.587{\cdot}ln[BOD/COD_{Cr]\}$$ $$S_G=53.872-12.782{\cdot}ln[CH_4]$$ $$S_W=79.382-20.013{\cdot}ln[C/N]$$ (단, $S_L$, $S_G$, and $S_W$는 각각 33.3점이 최대값이다.) 여기서, $I_{LS}$ : 매립지 안정화 지수 $S_L$ : 침출수의 안정화 점수 $S_G$ : 매립가스의 안정화 점수 $S_W$ : 폐기물의 안정화 점수.
