Dynamics of copper and zinc sedimentation in a lagooning system receiving landfill leachate.

TL;DR: This study characterises the sediment dredged from a lagooning system composed of a settling pond and three lagoons that receive leachates from a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in France and found that organic carbon plays a major role in Cu and Zn mobility and trapping.

Release of heavy metals from waste into leachate in active solid waste landfill

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass balance of selected heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Pb, Hg, Zn, Cd) released from waste into leachate during 8 years of landfill exploitation has been calculated.
