X Abstract

A biogeochemical transport code is used to simulate leachate attenuation, biogeochemical processes, and development of redox zones in a pollution plume downstream of the Vejen landfill in Denmark. Calibration of the degradation parameters resulted in a good agreement with the observed distribution in the plume of a number of species, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), Fe2+, NO3-, HCO3-, SO42-, CH4, and pH. The simulated redox zones agree with observations confirming that the Fe-reducing zone played an important role in the attenuation of the DOC plume. Effective first-order rate constants for every redox zone were determined giving DOC half-lives ranging from 100 to 1-2 days going from the methanogenic to the aerobic zone. The order of decrease in DOC half-lives from the anaerobic to the aerobic zone corresponds to findings at other landfills.
