Mixed waste landfill |
In situ landfills in arid
environments which contain complex mixtures |
Mixed wastes containing
heavy metals in complex mixtures with organic, inorganic,
and radioactive wastes |
Integration of existing
technologies, including thermally
enhanced vapor extraction system,
flexible membrane lining system, and directional
drilling |
Characterization and
remediation technology demos |
Goal is to remove the
most rapidly moving constituents, and to isolate the
remaining constituents for 30 years (interim) or
permanently. |
All of the
characterization technologies currently funded by MWLID
(Mixed Waste Landfill Integrated Demonstration) have been
demonstrated. |

bench-scale tests have identified potential for
considerable cost savings. Most promising are grain-size
separation and froth flotation. |
