A major source of the hazardous waste generated is from chemical industries producing plastics, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated solvents. All of these processes produce a class if hazardous waste termed the chlorinated hydrocarbons(CHCs), either directly or from undesirable side reactions. In this study, we investigated the destruction characteristics of hazardous waste through incineration. A nonequilibrium combustion model was used to describe the effect of the chemical kinetics due to the flame inhibition characteristics of $CCl_4$ which was used as the surrogate of hazardous waste. A parametric screening studies was made in a dump incinerator proposed in this study. The dump incinerator showed high $CCl_4$ DRE(Destruction and Removal Efficiency) as 5 nines. $CCl_4$/CH$_4$ ratio appeared to be most important in the destruction of $CCl_4$ through incineration.

This study was carried out to plan the prevention of the generation and discharge of acid mine drainage (AMD). Hydraulic characteristics were tested with the disk tension infiltrometer around the waste rock dump of the Imgi abandoned pyrophyllite mine in Busan, Korea. Because the waste rock dump of the Imgi mine have very low infiltration rate, most of rain was expected flowing into adjoined stream through the slope or plane as surface flow rather then throughflow or ground water. But slopes of the waste rock dump have many 'V' type erosion gullies and consist multi-layers. These gullies and multi-layers have coarse clastic particle layer which have very large hydraulic conductivity. So through these coarse clastic particle layers a large part of rain flow into ground. And also these layers could be played a function of aeration path, which induced oxidation of sulfide minerals and generation of AMD continuously.tinuously.

The indiscriminate growth in global population poses a threat to the world in handling and disposal of Municipal solid waste. Rapid urban growth increases the production, consumption and generation of Municipal solid waste which leads to a drastic change in the environment. The methane produced from the Municipal Solid waste accounts for up to 11% global anthropogenic emissions, which is a major cause for global warming. This study reports the methane emission estimation using IPCC default, TNO, LandGEM, EPER and close flux chamber from open dump yards at Perungudi and Kodungaiyur in Chennai, India. The result reveals that the methane emission using close flux chamber was in the range of 8.8 Gg/yr-11.3 Gg/yr and 6.1Gg/yr to 9.1 Gg/yr at Kodungaiyur and Perungudi dump yard respectively. The per capita waste generation was estimated based on waste generation and population. The waste generation potential was projected using linear regression model for the period 2017-2050. The trend of CH₄ emission in the actual field measurement were increased every year, similarly the emission trend also increased in IPCC default method (mass balance approach), EPER Germany (zero order decay model) where as TNO and Land GEM (first order decay model) were decreased. The present study reveals that Kodungaiyur dump yard is more vulnerable to methane emission compared to Perungudi dump yard and has more potential in waste to energy conversion mechanisms than compare to Perungudi dump yard.

부산 임기광산의 광산폐기물 적치사면을 대상으로 강우에 따른 사면의 침투해석과 안정해석을 연계하여 수행하였다. 광산폐기물 적치사면의 경사는 40-45°로써 비교적 급한 편이고, 암반층 상부의 광산폐기물은 약 7-8 m의 두께로 존재하며, 지하수위는 지표면으로부터 약 6.6 m 깊이에 위치하고 있다. 현장에서 채취한 시료를 대상으로 각종 실내시험을 수행하여 강우 시 침투거동 및 사면안정해석을 위한 입력자료를 선정하였다. SEEP/W를 이용하여 다양한 강우강도 조건에서 침투해석을 수행한 결과 강우지속시간이 길어짐에 따라 습윤전선은 하강함을 알 수 있다. 강우강도가 50 mm/hr 이상 이고 강우지속시간이 24시간 이상인 경우 침윤전선은 사면의 하단부에서 지하수위와 만나게 되므로 토층 전체가 포화됨을 알 수 있다. 침투해석결과를 연동하여 SLOPE/W를 이용하여 사면안정해석을 수행한 결과 강우침투로 인한 침윤전선이 하강함에 따라 사면안전율은 낮아짐을 알 수 있다. 강우가 5-6시간 지속적으로 발생된 이후 사면안전율은 급격하게 낮아지며, 이후 사면안전율이 미소하게 회복되다가 수렴한다. 사면안전율이 급격하게 낮아지는 이유는 강우로 인한 임계 활동면과 침윤전선의 깊이가 유사하여 해당깊이까지 간극수압이 증가되고 모관흡수력이 감소되었기 때문이다.

A lot of hazardous wastes are discharged as by-products of working process by industrial development. Hazardous wastes is physical characteristics of difficult destruction at hight temperature. Numerical simulation and combustion experiment performed of dump incinerator for hazardous waste incineration. For the numerical simulation, the SIMPLEST algorithm was used to ensure rapid converge A K-$\varepsilon$ model was incorporate for the enclosure of turbulence flow. Combustion model was used by ESCRS (extended simple chemically reacting system) model available of CHEMKIN thermodynamic data for the source term of species conservation equation or energy equation. Radiation model is used by six flux model. A parametric screening studies was carried out through numerical simulation and experiment. Residence time and concentration in the incinerator was strongly dependent on the parameters of mixture velocity, mixture equilibrium ratio, surrogate velocity and surrogate equilibrium ratio.

Slope stability is generally paid more attention to in slope protection works, especially for slope containing weak layers. Two indexes of safety factor and failure model are selected to perform slope stability. Moreover, the finite element limit analysis method comprehensively combines the advantage of the limit analysis method and the finite element method obtaining the upper and lower bounds of the safety factor and the failure mode under the slope stability limit state. In this study, taking a waste dump containing a weak layer as an engineering background, the finite element limit analysis method is adopted to explore the potential failure mode. Meanwhile, the sensitivity analysis of slope stability is performed on geometrical and geotechnical parameters of the waste dump. The results show that the failure mode of the waste dump slope is two wedges if the weak layer is located on the ground surface (Model A), while the slope can be observed as three wedges failure if the weak layer is below the ground surface (Model B). In addition, both failure modes are highly sensitive to the friction angle of the weak layer and the shear strength of waste disposal, and moderately sensitive to the heap height, the dip angle and cohesion of the weak layer, while the toe cutting has limited effect on the slope stability. Moreover, the sensitivity to the excavation of the ground depends on the location of the weak layer and failure mode.

해양 투기 매립장은 바다를 메워서 만들었으므로 그 속에서의 지하수 수리 특성은 대수층이나 일반 육상 매립지안의 지하수 수리 특성과 크게 다르다. 포항 지역의 해양 투기 매립지에서 양수 시험이나 순간수위 변화 시험으로 수리 특성을 파악하기 어려워서 조석 현상과 지하수위 변화로 부터 수리 특성을 추정하였다. 투기 매립지의 지하수위는 인근 해수면보다 약 40 cm 높게 관측되었고, 그 이유를 추정하였다 매립지내 지하수와 해수와의 상관 관계는 매립지내 지하수 수질의 수직적 분포로도 설명된다.

부산광역시 소재 폐납석광산인 임기광산 채굴적 및 폐석적치장 및 하상퇴적물에 대해 산-염기 평가(ABA test)와 폐석적치장 상부에 대해 디스크-장력침투계를 이용하여 수리특성을 분석하였다. 임기광산 폐석적치장 주변에서 최대 산 발생력(MPA)은 246.942kg $H_2SO_4/t$였고, 산 중화능력(ANC)은 최대 8.7kg $H_2SO_4/t$로 나타나 노출된 채굴적 암반 및 폐석은 ARD를 발생하는 지질물질로 나타났다. 또한 이들에는 이미 황화광물이 산화되어 암석 표면에 염 및 자유수소 이온을 보유하여 강우와 접촉시 표층수 및 침투수 등을 ARD로 변화시키는 지구화학적 특성을 지닌 상태로 판단된다. 임기광산의 폐석적치장은 비록 매우 낮은 침투율을 갖고 있으나 폐석적치장 법면부에 심한 침식작용으로 V자형 침식골이 노출되어 있고 노출부위에 수리전도도가 큰 쇄설층들이 노출되어 강우의 침투경로 역할을 할 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 굵은 쇄설성 입자층의 노출은 지표에서 생성된 ARD 통로 기능뿐만 아니라 공기의 이동 경로가 되어 폐석내 포함된 황화광물의 지속적인 산화작용을 유발시키는 수리적 특성을 보유한다고 할 수 있다.

The phytoextraction of some toxic heavy metals from municipal waste dump soil by castor plant (Ricinus communis) was tested under natural and single or mixed chelant-assisted scenarios in pot microcosms. A sandy loam with total metal contents (mg/kg): Cd (84.5), Cu (114.5), Ni (70.3), Pb (57.8), and Zn (117.5), was sampled from an active dumpsite in Calabar, Nigeria and used for the study. Castor (small seed variety) was grown under natural phytoextraction or single/binary chelant (citric acid, oxalic acid, and EDTA) applications (5-20 mmol/kg soil) for 63 days. Castor exhibited no visual phytotoxic symptoms with typically sigmoid growth profiles at the applied chelant doses. Growth rates, however, decelerated with increase in chelant dose. Post-harvest biomass yields were higher under chelant application than for natural phytoextraction. Both root and shoot metal concentrations (mg/kg) increased quasilinearly and significantly ($p{\leq}0.05$) with increase in chelant dose, furnishing maximum levels as: Cd (55.6 and 20.9), Cu (89.5 and 58.4), Ni (49.8 and 19.6), Pb (32.1 and 12.1), and Zn (99.5 and 46.6). Ranges of translocation factors, root and shoot bioaccumulation factors were 0.21-3.49, 0.01-0.89 and 0.01-0.51, respectively. Overall, the binary chelant treatments were less toxic for R. communis growth and enhanced metal accumulation in shoots to a greater extent than the single chelant scenarios, but more so when EDTA was present in the binary combination. This suggests that the mixed chelants could be considered as alternative treatments for enhanced phytoextraction and revegetation of degraded waste dump soils.

This study is conducted to evaluate the leaching of contaminants from mine tailing by natural water and finally to estimate the leaching and transportation of heavy metal contaminants by rainfall. In order to identify contaminated heavy metal of soil, 17 soil, 2 tailing and 2 waste dump and 2 control samples were taken at mine area and analyzed total metal contents. The leaching experiments were conducted using distilled water. Cu, Pb, Zn was extracted from the reddish mine tailing in a short period time, especially the extraction rate of Cu (45.0%) was highest. The contaminants were leached from the yellowish mine tailing within an hour and the leaching rate of Cd (42.0%) and Zn (17.2%) were relatively high. The reddish soil from the waste dump showed leaching of Cu (5.1%), Pb (4.0%) and Zn (3.3%), however the leaching rate was low except Mi (14.2%). From the yellowish soil sampled from the dumping site, the leaching of Cu (8.2%) and Ni (9.7%) was high while the leaching of Zn (0.2%) were relatively low.
