PROPERTIES OF THE FILTRATE FORMED AFTER TERMINATION OF THE OPERATION OF THE LANDFILL

The hazardous factors influencing the disposal of solid household waste on the components of the environment belongs to the filtrate, the formation of which does not stop after the cessation of the operation of landfills. To solve the problem of environmental hazard of the filtrate can be done through the implementation of phased environmental measures. Priority measures include the arrangement of a system for collecting and removing filtrate from the landfill body. The main environmental measures are to clean the removed filtrate. The research of the properties of the filtrate of each individual landfill is necessary to justify the choice of the most effective methods of cleaning it. The purpose of the work was to study the properties of the filtrate, which continues to be formed after the cessation of the operation of the landfill of municipal solid waste in the city of Lviv. It is established that the studied filtrate is a solution with a high concentration of chemical compounds. For most indicators of filtrate is characterized by seasonal dynamics. After the warm season, the COD and BOD5 in the filtrate is increases the concentration of chloride anions, ammonium nitrogen, total iron increases; decreases the content of nitrates, nitrites and petroleum products. The indicators of filtrate, which do not change during the seasons, include the content of sulphates, phosphates and heavy metals (copper, lead, zinc). The filtrate, which continues to be formed at the municipal solid waste landfill, tends to reduce the content of heavy metals (copper, zinc, lead), ammonium nitrogen, chlorides and COD and an increase in the content of anions (phosphates, sulfates, nitrites, nitrates), oil products and BOD5. The studied filtrate does not meet the requirements for the composition and properties of wastewater discharged in-to the central city system for the content of chlorides, sulfates, nitrates, nitrites, ammonium nitrogen, lead, zinc, total iron. The filtrate can be discharged into the wastewater system only after pretreatment using methods that ensure that the filtrate indicators comply with the permissible values of indicators in the wastewater sample, the established re-quirements for the composition and properties of wastewater discharged into the wastewater system.
