An Alternative Sprayable Daily Landfill Cover Manufacturing Using Local Resources of Latvia

Abstract:

An alternative daily cover (ADC) is a recommended part of the modern waste landfill. Developed by ADC, involving clay minerals available in Latvia as well as wood fibers; 2 appropriate composites are selected. The coating's effectiveness has been estimated for odour in the environment, and the coating has been tested in field conditions. The obtained coating shows the ability to maintain a physical condition more than a month without changing its consistency. Compared with commercially available daily cover, which is many times higher in price, the developed coating exhibits the same odour characteristics. It is recommended to continue testing and assess the ability to absorb harmful elements by using this coating.
