Abstract

There are many approaches which have been used to assess the ground water and surface water contamination. The land disposal of municipal waste is potential cause of groundwater contamination unscientifically managed dumping yards are prone to groundwater contamination because of leachate production. The leaching behaviour of a waste can be assessed either by the experimental determination of the characteristics of leachate generated or through mathematical modeling.A pilot study was conducted to assess the characterization of leachate generating using Leachate Generated Model (LGM). In present study the model is used to study the effect of gomutra and enzymes on the municipal solid waste and the leachate quality. The result indicated that the colour of leachate generated in study area was found to be oxygenated and has organic compound which resulted in increased permeability. The results reveal that the use of gomutra (15%) mixed with MSW, was a good indication that organic matters in leachate are readily biodegradable in mature land fill, where as 10% gomutra used in MSW, showed that (BOD / COD = 0.64) leachate had high biodegradability through anaerobic phase. This stimulator showed better result than enzymes used and is also helpful to prevent containing of waste water tube wells and bore holes affected from leachate generated.

Highlights

The most common disposal option for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) practised currently in many countries is either uncontrolled dumping on land[1] or open burning.[2,3,4,5,6,7,8] The liquid containing innumerable organic and inorganic compounds is called as leachate
The leachate is developed using deionized water in a static exposure and rainfall stimulation using water flow metre (WFM) @ 2 - 20 ml per minutes, using 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% of gomutra in such a models filled with MSW
The concentration of chlorides in the leachate generated at the land fill site showed the presence of inert (20.4%) in the MSW of this area, which indicate towards the availability of non biodegradable compounds

Summary

Introduction

The most common disposal option for MSW practised currently in many countries is either uncontrolled dumping on land[1] or open burning.[2,3,4,5,6,7,8] The liquid containing innumerable organic and inorganic compounds is called as leachate. The most common disposal option for MSW practised currently in many countries is either uncontrolled dumping on land[1] or open burning.[2,3,4,5,6,7,8]. The liquid containing innumerable organic and inorganic compounds is called as leachate. It is a strong reducing liquid formed under methanogenic conditions and on coming into contact with aquifer materials has the ability to reduce sorbed heavy metals in the aquifer matrix.[9]. The influence of leachate from each type of landfill depended on many factors such as waste composition, leachate characteristics, precipitation and the Revised Manuscript Received on August 15, 2020.
