Modelling the Waste Disposal Deposit – (Part I)

Abstract

With the economic development, with the increase of production and consumption, large quantities of waste result annually, which, improperly stored can affect the quality status of the environmental factors. At the same time, improper management of these wastes can lead to serious cases of contamination of water, soil and air and may also threaten the health of the population. Eco-friendly landfills are a safe way to dispose of waste today. In order to limit the harmful effects on the environment, they must be designed and executed in such a way as to meet the current technical, environmental and economic impact requirements. Due to the composition of household waste (paper, plastic, glass, vegetable waste, other flammable substances) the risk of fire occurring and developing inside the warehouse is high. This fire can be based on several origins: anthropogenic, microbial, natural. Thus, the temperature released may damage the component layers of the landfill. Inside the warehouse gases, CO2, CH 4 , as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are born due to the activity of microorganisms.
