AB  - The investigation of municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment in China is rare due 
      to its sensitivity and difficulty in terms of access. We chose Beijing, the 
      capital of China, as an example to identify the characteristics of MSW landfill 
      treatments using a 2-month investigation with 20 participants. MSW landfill 
      treatments account for nearly 70% of the annual MSW disposal in Beijing; the 
      landfill processes are equipped with many kinds of technologies and consume a 
      large amount of energy and produce a variety of contaminants. The cover method 
      (the most obvious difference in landfill tamping) mainly includes high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes with loess and soil alone (i.e., loess or sandy 
      soil). We investigated the actual conditions of landfills and collected data on 
      leachate and landfill gas (LFG) emissions and energy consumption during 
      2009-2011. The results indicated that the cover method employed by landfills was 
      related to treatment quantity, operation, and especially landfill location. Early 
      large-scale landfills located in plains were covered with HDPE geomembranes, and 
      newly built landfills covered with soil tended to be equipped with HDPE covers. 
      Using HDPE cover also contributed greatly to LFG production due to its 
      impermeability but had no remarkable effect on leachate yield reduction due to 
      the dry climate in Beijing. The potential was reinforced by the potentials of 
      decrement and reuse. The disposal method of LFG can be optimized, and the power 
      generated by the LFG process can meet the landfill demand. The gray water 
      recycled from the leachate could be used in the landfill process.
