Selection of Temporary Cover Materials for Bioreactor Landfills
Materials used for temporary cover of bioreactor landfills should have moderate abilities of penetration and unbalanced seepage of garbage. This paper indicates that silty sand soil, loess and light sub clay are suitable for this kind of use in the early stage of landfill operation and soil separated from the stabilized garbage can be used in later stage. However during rainy season, it is recommended to use plastic blankets keeping water from entering into the landfill site.
