title = "Reaction and combustion indicators in MSW landfills",
abstract = "Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills may contain aluminum from residential and commercial solid waste, industrial waste, and aluminum production wastes. Some aluminum-bearing waste, particularly aluminum production wastes, may react exothermically with liquid within a landfill and cause uncontrolled temperature increases, significant changes in gas composition and pressure, nuisance odors, changes in leachate composition and quantity, consumption of the surrounding waste, and damage to engineered components. This paper discusses techniques for determining whether an exothermic aluminum waste reaction and/or combustion exists in an MSW landfill facility and provides recommendations for the safe disposal of aluminum production waste.",
