TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method of operating a hazardous waste secure landfill characterized by a substantial reduction in the amount of leachate by maintaining a substantial amount of the atmospheric moisture collected within the confines of the fill separate from the waste material in the fill and removing such uncontaminated moisture from the fill site in an uncontaminate condition.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a secure landfill and to a method of operating a hazardous waste secure landfill characterized by a substantial reduction in the amount of leachate. The amount of leachate is minimized by maintaining a substantial amount of the atmospheric moisture collected within the confines of the fill separate from the waste material in the fill and removing such uncontaminated moisture from the fill site in an uncontaminated condition. The present landfill arrangement also facilitates the progressive incremental closing and permanent sealing of portions of the landfill while the remainder of the fill remains in active use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the investigations of different types of soil covers on the emission rates of benzene, a typical volatile organic priority pollutant, were discussed, and a landfill simulation under controlled laboratory conditions was undertaken using different covers such as soil and clay minerals.
Abstract: Landfill simulation and modeling can provide a useful tool in the management of hazardous wastes to estimate the vapor phase emissions of pollutants so that a realistic assessment can be made on the environmental impact of existing or proposed landfills. The objective of this paper is to discuss the results of the investigations of the effects of different types of soil covers on the emission rates of benzene, a typical volatile organic priority pollutant. A landfill simulation under controlled laboratory conditions was undertaken using different covers such as soil and clay minerals. The experiments were performed using pure benzene and also a petroleum waste containing benzene.
