Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

A subsurface vadose zone is observed to be contaminated with benzene. The samples taken from the contaminated sites exhibit a total benzene contamination of 500 mg/kg soil. Soil bulk density is 1.8 g soil per cm3. The total porosity is 0.45 cm3/ cm3 and the volumetric water content is 0.15 cm3/cm3. The foc is 0.02. Assume that the subsurface temperature is 25 o Estimate percent mass distribution of benzene in each phase Estimate the concentration of benzene in each phase in terms of mg/m3. Determine if there is any NAPL. Note that the maximum solubility limit of benzene in water is 1780 mg/L. The design engineer is planning to use an SVE system to remediate the site. The contaminated vadose zone has a total soil volume of 250 000 m3. The engineer wants to use 20 extraction wells each with an airflow rate of 120 Lpm. Based on design parameters, how long will it take to achieve 90 %mass removal from this site?
