A reactor based assessment of co-disposal☆

The paper examines the role of domestic waste landfills as anaerobic bioreactors for industrial wastes. Data are given for phenols, cyanides, acids and heavy metals. Partially saturated containment sites are amenable to analysis as reactors and appear to allow process control for environmentally sound co-disposal.
