Effects of Biochar on Methane Oxidation and Properties of Landfill Cover Soil: Long-Term Column Incubation Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Landfill gas poses significant risk to global climate change. Landfill gas is composed of very high concentrations of methane (CH4), nearly 50% by volume. The present study investigates the use of biochar amendment to silty ...
Carbon-Dioxide and Hydrogen-Sulfide Removal from Simulated Landfill Gas Using Steel Slag
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Municipal solid waste landfills are a source of major greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and emit a trace amount of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Recently, steel slag has extensively been used for ...
Methane Oxidation and Microbial Community Dynamics in Activated Biochar-Amended Landfill Soil Cover
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent years, biochar-amended soil cover has shown promise for enhancing microbial methane (CH4) oxidation and mitigate fugitive CH4 emissions at municipal solid waste landfills. However, addition of biochar in landfill ...
Effect of Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag-Infiltrated Water on Methane Oxidation and Community Composition in Biogeochemical Landfill Cover System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A sustainable biogeochemical cover system consisting of a biochar-amended soil layer overlain by a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag layer is being developed to mitigate fugitive emissions of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide ...
Biogeochemical versus Conventional Landfill Soil Covers: Analysis of Gas Flow Profiles, Microbial Communities, and Mineralogy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, a novel biogeochemical cover system comprising biochar-amended soil and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel slag was explored as a sustainable alternative cover system to mitigate methane (CH4), carbon dioxide ...
Effect of pH on Methane Oxidation and Community Composition in Landfill Cover Soil
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are regarded as one of the major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the world. An innovative and sustainable biogeochemical cover system that consists of soil, biochar, ...
Sequestration of Landfill Gas Emissions Using Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag: Effects of Moisture Content and Humid Gas Flow Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fugitive methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills constitute one of the major anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this regard, several researchers ...
