Summary: Using low permeability soils in landfill liners is an effective way to prevent environmental pollution caused by leachate leakage. The application of new technologies such as nano can provide more efficient filters for reducing leachate pollutants and modifying the geotechnical properties of liners. The experimental research conducted in this study showed that adding nanocomposite content in the soil decreased permeability and increased geotechnical properties.

Summary: The study evaluates the efficacy of four different garbage enzymes prepared from fruit peels (pineapple, banana, orange, and lemon) in removing soluble chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) from landfill leachate at two temperatures (room temperature and higher temperature). The results showed that orange (10%) and lemon (15%) garbage enzymes had the highest sCOD reduction at room temperature. The study demonstrated that the garbage enzyme could increase the bioavailability of organics in leachate.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of leachate on the geotechnical parameters and cracking behavior of compacted clay liners (CCLs) with various percentages of polypropylene fibers. Laboratory tests were conducted on 200 compacted clay samples reinforced with different fiber contents and prepared with water or leachate. The presence of fibers reduced surface desiccation cracks in the clay liners, and increased cohesion and friction angle. The addition of fibers also enhanced shear strength and unconfined compressive strength in all samples, and increased ductile behavior. However, the existence of fibers led to higher permeability in the samples, especially in leachate-prepared samples containing 1% fibers.

Summary: This study describes the collection and characterization of landfill leachate from different climatic zones in Sri Lanka. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) with different configurations were used to treat the leachate, and the optimal operating conditions for the treatment were determined. The study highlights the capabilities of MBR in treating landfill leachate.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between changes in physical-chemical parameters of leachate in on-site treatment systems and changes in PFAS concentrations. The results showed that RO systems significantly reduced both physical-chemical parameters and PFAS concentrations. Correlations were observed between changes in parameters and pH, alkalinity, ammonia, and metals.

Summary: The USA, China, and India are the top producers of municipal solid waste, with waste composition varying based on income levels. Municipal solid waste management options include recycling, incineration, waste-to-energy conversion, composting, or landfilling. Landfilling is a preferred method globally, with critical factors for sustainability including liners, soil cover thickness, leachate collection, and gas recovery facilities. Landfills act as ecological reactors undergoing various transformations, with bioreactor landfills emerging as a next-generation solution for efficient waste stabilization through controlled recirculation.

Summary: This systematic review examines the current research on soil contaminants, specifically leachate from solid waste landfills, and emphasizes biological remediation. The study analyzes data on pollutant treatment by microorganisms and their results worldwide. Factors such as soil type, pollutant type, bacterial type, and study locations were considered. The review provides reliable global data on soil contamination, particularly by leachate from municipal landfills, and highlights the importance of considering various factors when selecting a viable remediation strategy.

Summary: About 80-90 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) in Mojokerto City, Indonesia, is disposed of into Randegan landfill daily. The research aims to determine the presence of microplastics (MPs) in the leachate of the landfill, its characteristics, and the removal efficiency of the leachate treatment plant (LTP). The average MP abundance in the raw leachate was 9.00 +/- 0.85 particles/L, with fiber shape dominating (64.44 %). The LTP achieved a MP removal efficiency of 75.6 %, but residual fiber-shaped MPs were still present in the effluent.

Summary: The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a crucial role in the development and progression of tumoral tissue, affecting tumor cell behavior such as invasion, migration, and malignancy. Our study examines the role of collagen type I in cancer development and spread using engineered tumor models grown in collagen-based hydrogels. We utilize microfluidic techniques to investigate the effects of modifying the mechanical properties of collagen hydrogels with Laponite nanoclay and changing the stiffness of the collagen microenvironment on tumor spheroid growth. Our findings support the use of ECM components and engineered tumor models in cancer research, providing a biocompatible and biomimetic approach to tailor the mechanical properties of conventional collagen hydrogels.

Summary: The study aims to improve the permeability of base layers by adding nanomaterials, specifically aluminum oxide and iron oxide, into kaolin samples. Experimental results show that aluminum additives are more effective than iron additives in reducing leachate permeability. Different models, including Artificial Neural Networks, Multiple Linear Regression, and Support Vector Machine, were applied to the data, with the SVM model being the most successful in predicting flow resistance.

Summary: The emission of leachate from landfills is considered one of the main pollutants affecting ground and water environment. A comprehensive assessment showed that pollutants in leachate from the analyzed landfills remained at levels unsuitable for discharge to water or soil. The presence of substances harmful to aquatic environment may hinder the treatment process.

Summary: The formation of leachate in landfills is inevitable and their toxicity is an important parameter to consider before discharge into the environment. The study found that leachates from selected Polish landfills have low to medium levels of pollution index values. The relationship between phytotoxicity and LPI values was confirmed, indicating that LPI can be considered as a reliable indicator of leachate toxicity.
