LOW-COST-COVERING OF SLUDGELAGOONS AND LIQUID DEPOSITS FOR NEW INDUSTRIALIZING COUNTRIES

The opencast lignite mine Grube Johannes located at the southern edge of the city of Wolfen is being used as a landfill and settling pit by the local industry, above all by the photochemical combination Wolfen (later film factory Wolfen) since about 1920. It became the international symbol for a threatening chemical pollution in the Bitterfeld area and the object of numerous press revues under the name "Silbersee" ("Die Leute werden dun im Kopf" – “The people are becoming dull in the head”; Spiegel, 8. Januar 1990)

In 1995 the method and equipment for this innovative floating, walk-on Biofilter were developed using economical means with the purpose of reducing emissions (especially H2S) of toxic and foul smelling viscous sludge of the Grube Johannes (Silbersee). A continuous layer of Biofilter was installed on gas-permeable floats over an area of sludge covering 45,000 m². Now, 11 years later, the Biofilter is still operating in the open nature in a self-optimizing manner: 85% of the valid immission-measurements drop below the limit of detection (1,4 µg H2S/m³) and less than 1% of the immission-values lie over the WHO-limit (7 µg/m³).

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
