Journal ArticleDOI
Present and long-term composition of msw landfill leachate: a review
Peter Kjeldsen,Morton A. Barlaz,Alix P. Rooker,Anders Baun,Anna Ledin,Thomas Højlund Christensen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term behavior of landfills with respect to changes in oxidation-reduction status is discussed based on theory and model simulations, and it seems that the somewhere postulated enhanced release of accumulated heavy metals would not take place within the time frames of thousands of years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemistry of landfill leachate plumes
Thomas Højlund Christensen,Peter Kjeldsen,Poul Løgstrup Bjerg,Dorthe Lærke Jensen,J. Christensen,Anders Baun,Hans-Jørgen Albrechtsen,Gorm Heron +7 more
TL;DR: The literature has been critically reviewed in order to assess the attenuation processes governing contaminants in leachate affected aquifers as discussed by the authors, focusing on dissolved organic matter, xenobiotic organic compounds, inorganic macrocomponents as anions and cations, and heavy metals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of LCA studies of solid waste management systems--part I: lessons learned and perspectives.
Alexis Laurent,Ioannis Bakas,Julie Clavreul,Anna Bernstad,Monia Niero,Emmanuel Gentil,Michael Zwicky Hauschild,Thomas Højlund Christensen +7 more
TL;DR: A critical review of 222 published LCA studies of SWMS found that there is little agreement in the conclusions among them and recommend stakeholders in solid waste management to regard LCA as a tool, which allows identifying critical problems and proposing improvement options adapted to the local specificities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method for determination of methane potentials of solid organic waste.
Trine Lund Hansen,Jens Ejbye Schmidt,Irini Angelidaki,Emilia Marca,Jes la Cour Jansen,Hans Mosbæk,Thomas Højlund Christensen +6 more
TL;DR: The determination of methane potentials is a biological method subject to relatively large variation due to the use of non-standardized inoculum and waste heterogeneity, therefore, procedures for addressing repeatability and reproducibility are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of redox conditions in groundwater contaminant plumes
Thomas Højlund Christensen,Poul Løgstrup Bjerg,Steven A. Banwart,Rasmus Jakobsen,Gorm Heron,Hans-Jørgen Albrechtsen +5 more
TL;DR: A review of the principles behind the different approaches, summarizes methods used and evaluates the approaches based on the experience from the reported applications can be found in this paper, with a few exceptions, direct electrochemical measurement and rigorous interpretation of redox potentials dubious, if not erroneous.
