In Situ Methods to Control Emissions from Surface Impoundments and Landfills

In Situ Methods to Control Emissions from Surface Impoundments and Landfills This report presents the results of a two-year study which included laboratory investigations as well as a comprehensive literature review on methods of reducing the rate of emissions of volatile chemicals from surface impoundments and landfills. It presents information on the following in-situ methods which may be employed to reduce emission rates: air supported structures, floating solid objects, shape modification, aerodynamic modification, floating oil and/or surfactant covers and synthetic membranes over landfills. Conclusions are drawn with respect to the suitability of each of the methods under various circumstances and the degree of control which might be expected. The full report was submitted in fulfillment of Cooperative Agreement No. 810856-01-1 by the University of Arkansas under the sponsorship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This report covers a period from October 1, 1983 to September 30, 1985. The full report is under CR710856. This project summary was developed by EPA’s Hazardous Waste Engineering Research Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH, to announce key findings of the research project that is fully documented in a separate report of the same title (see project report ordering information in box). http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association Taylor & Francis
