THE FATE OF TOLUENE, ACETONE AND 1,2-DICHLOROETHANE IN A LABORATORY-SCALE SIMULATED LANDFILL

Reactors received refuse with btex, pce, tce, dce and ketones and water additions to simulate infiltration with addition of 14c-toluene and radiolabeled chemicals were added. Description of reactor construction, filling and analytical methods. Discussion on the experimental results during time with evolution of concentrations of micropollutants in the decomposing refuse. Evolution of acetone and 1,2-dca biodegradation, volatilization and leaching. Interpretation of acetone sorption and association with humic matter.
