Abstract:
The characteristics of MSW(municipal solid wastes) on solid-liquid-gas-heat should be investigated and surveyed before the treatment. Six refuse samples were got by drilling in closed Datong Landfill in Huainan. The height of the filling MSW is about 15.0 meters and the oldest filling age of the refuse is near 24 years in Datong landfill. It was showed that the void ratio of the MSW was influenced by the volume of plastics and papers. The lowest void ratio of the samples is 1.18, while the maximum is 2.53. The 10.0 meters thick compact clay seam failed to prevent effectively the leachate from polluting the underground water. The maximum volume of the CH
4was 2.8654%, while the value of CH
4/CO
2was between 0.739 and 1.79 in the landfill. The highest temperature of the refuse was 56℃, which occurred 40 days after the refuse entered the landfill. Based on the characteristics of MSW, some suggestion was made to treat the landfill.
