  • Comparison of Physicochemical Methods to Remove Arsenic from Landfill Leachate and Gas Condensate
    Comparison of Physicochemical Methods to Remove Arsenic from Landfill Leachate and Gas Condensate Surbhi Malik A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering University of Washington 2020 Committee: Gregory Korshin Michael Dodd Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Civil and Environmental Engineering © Copyright 2020 Surbhi Malik University of Washington Abstract Comparison of Physicochemical Methods to Remove Arsenic from Landfill Leachate and Gas Condensate Surbhi Malik Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Gregory Korshin Civil and Environmental Engineering Arsenic is an important contaminant widely found in municipal solid waste (MSW). It has been accumulating in landfills and its concentrations in the landfill leachate have been observed to increase in several sites, notably at the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill Facility (CHRLF) located in the State of Washington. The chemistry and mobility of arsenic are unusual since it involves an array of solutes, gaseous arsines, and solids whose formation is greatly affected by landfill conditions that are dependent on MSW composition, hydrology, and other site-specific factors. The reducing conditions in a landfill result in intense microbial activity that generates landfill gas (LFG), LFG condensates, and leachate all of which can contain arsenic. The biological activity also results in the formation of methylated and sulfur-containing arsenic complexes that tend to be resistant to the conventional methods of removal. This thesis evaluated the effectiveness of conventional and emerging technology particularly micro-electrolysis (ME) in the removal of arsenic from landfill leachate and LFG condensate. ME uses a combination of adsorption and zero-valent iron (ZVI) driven reduction that results in the immobilization of arsenic.

  • DAR-1: Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Ambient Air
    DAR‐1 Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Ambient Air Contaminants Under 6NYCRR Part 212 New York State NYSDEC of Environmental Conservation DEC Program Policy Issuing Authority: Christopher Lalone Title: Director, Division of Air Resources Signature: Date Issued: Latest Date Revised: February 12, 2021 Unit: Bureau of Air Quality Analysis & Research I. SUMMARY: This policy document, issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), outlines the procedures for evaluating the emissions of criteria and non-criteria air contaminants from process operations in New York State. Incorporated within the policy document are three flow charts to aid the end user when identifying applicable process emission sources, establishing uniform Environmental Ratings (ER) and ascertaining the proper degree of control for applicable process emission sources. II. POLICY: This policy is written to provide guidance for the implementation of and compliance with 6 NYCRR Part 212 Process Operations (Part 212). III. PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND: This policy provides guidance for the control of criteria and toxic air contaminants emitted from process emission sources in New York State. Process emission sources refer to the equipment at 1 manufacturing facilities that result in the release of air contaminants during operation. Process emission sources do not include equipment that combust fuel for electricity or space heating for commercial, industrial plants or residential heating. The policy describes the Division of Air Resources’ (DAR) procedures for implementing Part 212. This policy replaces the DAR-1 previously issued on August 10, 2016 by DAR. This document provides guidance to NYSDEC staff, those facility owners subject to Part 212, and the general public.
