Steel field landfills are engineered facilities designed to receive and isolate waste materials, particularly in steel production settings. They encompass various operations, including waste acceptance, compaction, and spreading. Key components include leachate collection systems to manage wastewater, gas collection systems to capture methane, and multilayer cover systems to prevent contaminants from escaping. These facilities undergo regular monitoring and adhere to regulatory guidelines to ensure environmental protection. Additionally, they consider waste characterization, environmental impacts, economic factors, and social concerns in their operations and management.
