The aim of this chapter is to present a conceptual model of the leaching process in landfills based on two exemplary field studies at a municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash landfill, Landfill Lostorf, and a lysimeter investigation, Landfill Teuftal, containing cement-stabilized MSWI air pollution control (APC) residues. 

The reasons why incineration is viewed as an attractive recovery option are outlined and environmental challenges facing the incineration industry are considered. The overall European situation with regard to residue generation and processing costs is discussed and the progress being made towards the voluntary commitment of the PVC industry in relation to municipal solid waste incineration and other recovery processes. 15 refs.

Solid residues with final storage quality should have properties very similar to the Earths crust (natural sediments, rocks, ores, soil). This can be achieved in several ways, for example by assortment or thermal, chemical and biological treatment. In most cases, this standard is not attained by simple incineration of municipal solid waste - that is, by only the reduction of organic fractions. There is, in particular, the problem of easily soluble minerals such as sodium chloride. Future efforts should be aimed at optimizing the incineration process in a sense that critical components are concentrated in the filter ash and in the washing sludge, whereas the quality of the bottom ash is improved in such a way that deposition is facilitated and even reuse of this material is possible due to either the low concentrations or chemically inert bonding forms of metals. 

Traditionally, incineration has been used to reduce waste volume. It has also been used to produce inert residuals from hazardous waste. Emissions in the form of combustion gases and solid residuals from conventional incinerators have lead to much resistance to the widespread use of incineration. Nowadays, incineration technology is available which avoids the production of such emissions [25]. It would seem that the use of clean combustion technology to recover energy from waste otherwise destined to landfill has been accepted by European governments in and attempt to reduce landfill [57]. Two of the applications for plastics waste under investigation are the co-combustion of plastics waste with municipal solid waste as the main fuel and the use of... 

Typically, wastepaper constitutes half of municipal solid waste, and newspaper alone 14% of the waste (2). Generally, over 50% of vrastepaper is relatively well recycled. In the past, most of it was used only once and then landfilled or incinerated. Even recycled wastepaper can be used only two to three times before the fibers become unacceptably short. Currently only relatively long fibers obtained after deinking process are recycled for paper production, but the residues constituting mostly short fibers are discarded. 

Copyrolysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) has led to a good separation when coupled to GC/MS. MSW is usually mainly composed of plastic residues (e.g., from packaging) and organic matter. During incineration of MSW each component may have a positive or negative influence on the thermal behavior of the others. Therefore, pyrolysis can also be envisaged as a tool for analyzing...
