Abstract

Solid waste generation and its proper disposal are neglected issue in most of the countries across the globe. Sorting of the waste is the biggest challenge, and its effectiveness is the key issue in treatment. The inorganic, incombustible and non-recyclable fraction from solid waste is used for landfilling. Landfill using solid waste has advantage, but the fractions of organic non-separated waste lead to generation of leachate and other disadvantages also. In this paper, different materials to be used for controlling the leachate percolation are discussed with their effects on detection of heavy metals, filtration efficacy for the leachate. The materials are bentonite, geotextile, activated carbon, fly ash, etc. By using these materials at landfill sites either as a single or combination of both with different techniques to trap heavy metals which are present in leachate like Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Al, Pb, Cd. Also, these materials affect the groundwater characteristics and composition.
