Abstract:
This paper presents a combined approach for waste management. A conceptfor the design of a new generation of waste repositories, the RECYCLING
LANDFILL, is developed based on the application of biochemical processes to
transform waste materials to a useful product. After a period of 20 to 30
years the waste will be modified into the desired final product. The concept
of EQUISTORT is based on an integrated approach in which inorganic wastes are
conditioned to bring the disposal site in a state of quasi- or
semi-equilibrium at minimum leachability level of contaminants. A combined
approach is proposed that would use both concepts to treat solid wastes. In
this paper we outline the advantages which would arise from such an approach.
