Abstract
The sustainability of a waste management scheme does not only rely on it economic strength and it social acceptabillty rather it also factors environmental effectiveness. Landfill leachate treatment as end of pipe treatment was interceded to ensure leachate quality and quantity using Life Cycle Inventory LCI of Municipal Solid WasteMSW. MSW leachates from waste compactors were collected and analyzed for pH Electrical Conductivity EC. Total Dissolved Solids IDS Chemical Oxygen Demand COD Biological Oxygen Demand BOD Total Nitrogen TN and Total Zinc TZn. Leachates pH ranges from 3.82 - 4.43 COD 33100 mg/l COD and 101900 mg/l COD the TDS ranges from 2.45 - to 10.10g/l. Conductivity range are 4.51 to 17.06 dS/m. The pollution potential indicator ratio of BOD/COD was also considered. These parameters were compared with selected landfill leachates to estimate the efficacy of the natural attenuation while their correlation coefficients were discussed.
