Abstract

In Russia, more than 40 million tons of solid municipal waste are generated annually. About 95—96 % are located on landfills of solid household waste and only 4—5 % are involved in processing. To date, this method of handling waste is the least expensive, but also the most dangerous for the environment.

In the body of the polygon, physical, chemical and biochemical processes occur, as a result of which methane is formed. Migration of methane from the landfill to the environment is a serious environmental problem in the form of a greenhouse effect. This article provides a brief overview of the methane utilization methods. The data on the influence of limestone waste on the reduction of methane emissions on the solid municipal waste landfill and the sorption of heavy metals are given.

The article considers the biogeochemical zoning of the process of biodegradation of solid municipal waste. The authors give data on the composition of biogas and the features of its emission into the environment. The results of absorption of heavy metals by limestone waste are presented.

Keywords

solid municipal waste landfill, methane emission, limestone waste, layered insulation.
