Advantages And Disadvantages Of Evaporation And Vaporization

Good Essays

10578BEvaporation/vaporization The moisture and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in the waste are turned into the gas through evaporation/vaporization.
10579BSettlement/suspension Suspended solids and colloidal substance in the leachate will settle or float in liquid phase under the force of gravity or buoyancy.
10580BDiffusion/migration This refers to the gas from the waste moving within and beyond the landfill site and the leachate migrating within the landfill site and entering into the lower layer of the soil cover.
10581BDecay This is a natural reaction in the landfill site as time goes by.

Therefore, it is important to adopt synthetic membrane with better anti-seepage performance. There are ten-odd types of synthetic membranes developed worldwide, including high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE). These synthetic membranes have an extremely low permeability with a seepage coefficient of ≤1 × 10-12 cm/s [4]. With its strong resistance to chemical corrosion, mature manufacturing process, easiness to weld on-site, and rich experience accumulated in practical use, HDPE is widely used in vertical seepage prevention, top surface seepage prevention, and foundation seepage prevention of the sewage treatment system and manufacturing of HDPE tubes. The thickness of HDPE membrane shall not be less than 1.5 mm. For example, Xiaping Waste Sanitary Landfill Site in Shenzhen and Liulitun Waste Sanitary Landfill Site in Beijing have adopted HDPE …show more content…

For high concentration leachate with a COD content of >5,000 mg/L, the process of aerobic and anaerobic treatment is recommended and is suitable for young landfill leachate. For the leachate with a COD content of <5,000 mg/L, aerobic treatment is normally adopted and is suitable for metaphase or mature landfill leachate. Anaerobic treatment is characterized by advantages such as high organic load, strong impact load, less sludge produced, small floor area, low energy consumption, and low operating cost. However, effluent fails to be up to relevant indicators, and aerobic treatment is often needed. For high and medium concentration organic wastewaters, a combination of aerobic and anaerobic treatments is normally
