ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF LANDFILL BIOREACTORCELLS IN COMPARISON TO FORMER LANDFILL TECHNIQUES

摘要

Former and present landfill techniques at the Filborna plant in Hesingborg, South Sweden are compared with respect to impacts on the environment. This includes the potential for nutrient re- covery and heavy metal immobilisation in the waste residue. The results show that optimised landfill bioreactor-cells have a higher turn-over rate for organic matter compared to the former landfills, whereas the retention capacity for heavy metals in both systems was surprisingly high.
