TLDR
An overview of gas and leachate formation mechanisms in landfills and their adverse environmental impacts, and control methods to eliminate or minimize these impacts is presented in this paper. But the authors do not consider the potential health hazards, such as fires and explosions, vegetation damage, unpleasant odors, landfill settlement, ground water pollution, air pollution and global warming.About:

Sustainable biochar to mitigate global climate change
TL;DR: The maximum sustainable technical potential of biochar to mitigate climate change is estimated, which shows that it has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(lactic acid)-Mass production, processing, industrial applications, and end of life.
TL;DR: A review of the current status of PLA mass production, processing techniques and current applications is presented, and the methods to tailor PLA properties, the main PLA degradation reactions, PLA products' end-of-life scenarios and the environmental footprint are covered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemical treatments for removal of recalcitrant contaminants from landfill leachate.
TL;DR: None of the individual physico-chemical techniques is universally applicable or highly effective for the removal of recalcitrant compounds from stabilized leachate, but adsorption, membrane filtration and chemical precipitation are the most frequently applied and studied worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Construction and demolition waste management in China through the 3R principle
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted the CDW management analysis through 3R principle and investigated existing policies and management situations based on the reduction, reuse and recycle principles, which revealed that primary barriers of reducing CDW in China include lack of building design standard for reducing CDw, low cost for CDW disposal and inappropriate urban planning.

Methane emission from natural wetlands: Global distribution, area, and environmental characteristics of sources
E. Matthews,Inez Fung +1 more
TL;DR: A global data base of wetlands at 1° resolution has been developed from the integration of three independent global, digital sources: vegetation, soil properties and fractional inundation in each 1° cell as discussed by the authors.

Conversion processes in anaerobic digestion
TL;DR: In this article, six different conversion processes are identified in the degradation of particulate organic material (biopolymers) to methane, and the kinetic data are applied to the design of an anaerobic digester for raw domestic sludge.

Gas Transport in Porous Media: The Dusty-Gas Model
Edward A. Mason,A.P. Malinauskas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development of the dusty-gas model for describing gas transport in porous media is described, and its applications in sufficient detail that it can be employed in engineering practice.
