Abstract

The article presents an assessment of the sanitary and hygienic condition of water in storage ponds at solid waste landfill facilities, with the aim of enabling their reconstruction, expansion, and reclamation of bottom sediments. Based on experimental and statistical modelling, the optimal composition of an organo-mineral complex for the removal of suspended solids from technically contaminated water was determined. Water transparency with turbidity below 1 Nephelometric Turbidity Unit is achieved using 2.2 to 4.2 % quicklime, 7.5 to 11.25 % bentonite, and 6 to 10 % enzyme. The optimal composition of the organo-mineral complex for sediment formation was also established. The resulting precipitate exhibits plastic strength up to 160 kPa after 28 days of exposure, achieved with 30 to 35 % quicklime, 0 to 2.5 % bentonite, and 0 to 1.5 % enzyme. The formed sediment is self-sealing and water-resistant, making it suitable for constructing embankments around storage ponds at solid waste landfills to increase both industrial water capacity and evaporation area.
