Pentachlorophenol degradation in landfill drainage models

摘要

The paper describes a laboratory experiment on the biological activity of bacterial populations derived from landfill waste and established on granular materials under conditions similar to those in a landfill drainage system. Two perspex laboratory columns were used to model the landfill drainage system. Artificially formulated leachate was recycled through the columns and the composition of the leachate and the gas produced was measured.
