Two identical lysimeters with a diameter and height of 0.70 m and 2.40 m were prepared, respectively. The lysimeters were operated with and without leachate recirculation treatment. The settlement and leachate generation were quantified daily. The analysis of settlement was conducted by using hyperbolic function and curve fitting. Based on the experiments result, it is observed that garbage pile settlement in lysimeter treated with leachate recirculation (L-2) is higher than without recirculation treatment (L-1) as showed by the hyperbolic function and curve fitting result. The ultimate settlement (S_wlt) for L-1 and L-2 that used hyperbolic function were 0.487 m and 0.53 m, respectively. Meanwhile (S_wlt) that using curve fitting resulted 0.74 m, and 0.68 m for L-1 and L-2, respectively. The lysimeter which treated with leachate recirculation treatment showed a higher leachate height than without the treatment.展开更多
