Abstract

The landfill leachate characteristics are found varied significantly with stages of solid waste degradation and continued even after closure. The objective of this paper is to notice the trend of long-term leachate characteristics using time series analysis methods. The historical observed leachate characteristics data were taken from the literature and split into three groups based on their biodegradable and dissolvable nature. The developed trend showed higher biodegradable and dissolvable leachate characteristics depend on the quantity of biodegradable matter presence. The non-biodegradable and highly dissolvable leachate characteristics had a constant trend. The non-biodegradable and non-dissolvable leachate characteristics were found increasing trend in the analysis. The developed long-term trend showed time series analysis estimation was an encouraging method for the prediction of long-term leachate characteristics without further laboratory investigation and thus would help to communicate to the general public, the field professionals, and the policy makers about the future status of the landfill.
