Stockpiling and blending play a major role in maintaining the quantity and quality of the raw materials fed into processing plants, especially the cement, iron ore and steel making, and coal-fired power generation industries that usually require a much uniformed feed. Due to the variable nature of such materials, they even come from the same source and the produced ores or concentrates are seld...

Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was carried out in Rukpokwu, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria to investigate the effect of waste dump on groundwater quality study area. An ABEM SAS 300 terrameter used. Schlumberger configuration adopted for sounding acquire a 4 point data, and at Rukpokwu adjudged be free from dumps which served as control. The result resistivity surve...

<p>The dumping of solid waste in uncontrolled landfills can cause significant impacts on the environment and human health. The open dumps formation leachate which contaminated groundwater; use these groundwater reported danger to goal protection is necessary control release migration pollutants from subsurface. In this paper, above-mentioned problems were dealt with case study Ariyamangal...

Garbage is matter which serious enought to society especially in the main city. Increasing number of will affect increasing garbage either as resulted. Volume al ways increase without measuring last process appear many problems for example, leachate seepage. Leachate a liquid waste resulted biology decomposition. soaks bottom groundwater decreasing level field water and allergy on skin.

It has been estimated that there are some 30,000 chemical waste dumps in the United States. Many of these landfill operations were undertaken in the early 1950s and 1960s, when knowledge regarding the safe and prolonged containment of the waste buried was nonexistent or minimal at best. As a result, many of these dump sites were located in areas that were geologically unsuitable for toxic chemi...

Leachate originating from open refuse dumpsite systems can be delineated through an integration of qualitative and quantitative methods. This study was designed to examine extent of leachate and pollution from one of the numerous open refuse dumpsites in Lagos metropolis. Qualitative assessment was determined using electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), vertical electrical sounding (VES) and ...

Laboratory scale studies were conducted to investigate the feasibility of Industrial by-products as potential alternative medium to conventional gravel in the drainage layer of leachate collection system as permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) for landfill leachate treatment. Industrial by-products were used to treat effectively the landfill leachate, which is an innovative in-situ remediation te...
