Nitrous oxide flux from landfill leachate–sawdust nitrogenous compost

Sustainable landfill leachate treatment using refuse and pine bark as a carbon source for bio-denitrification

“…[21] The use of waste materials as a carbon source in denitrification has been researched for over 20 years. [3,20,[22][23][24][25] It has the dual benefit of removing wastes from the waste stream, diverting it from landfill sites, and use as an alternative carbon source. It is therefore an economically and environmentally sustainable carbon source alternative.…”

Minimisation of N2O emissions from a plant-soil system under landfill leachate irrigation

“…N 2 O emissions reported were less from leachate irrigated soils. Leachate irrigation should promote N 2 O emissions from soils by providing organic carbon and mineralized-N as substrates for the microbial nitrification and denitrification processes and by regulating the soil moisture content (Hui et al, 2003;Watzinger et al, 2005;Zhang et al, 2008a,b). Because it determines the biogeochemical environment for microorganisms and regulates the availability of dissolved nutrients and the gas diffusion, the soil moisture content has multiple effects on N 2 O emissions (Bateman and Baggs, 2005;Ruser et al, 2006).…”

Minimizing N2O fluxes from full-scale municipal solid waste landfill with properly selected cover soil

“…Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills have massive amounts of substrates containing nitrogen, which are potential sources of N 2 O (He et al, 2000;Hui et al, 2003). Rinne et al (2005) indicated that N 2 O fluxes from the Ammalssuo landfill were higher than those from northern European agricultural soils and boreal forests by 1-2 orders of magnitude.…”
