Leachate A liquid generated in landfills. It is the result of water seeping into and through the wastes. As the water contacts the waste materials it dissolves part of the organic and inorganic matter contained in the landfill.
miscible
Liquid substances capable of mixing without separation into two phases; refers to liquid mixtures.
miticide
Substance used for the control of mites.
Solvent: liquid capable of dissolving another substance.
Source Reduction: design, nanufacture, acquisition, and reuse of materials so as to minimize the quantity and/or toxicity of waste produced.
Leachate: Liquid that collects contaminants as it percolates through or drains from solid waste, pesticides or fertilizers. Leachate often contains suspended or dissolved waste materials and may occur in farming areas, feedlots, and landfills.
Solvent
A liquid capable of dissolving or dispersing another substance (for example, acetone or mineral spirits).
Filtrate: A liquid that has passed through the filter medium.
Filtration: The mechanical process which removes particulate matter by separating water from solid material, usually by passing it through sand.
