Abstract:
A reformulated barrier material for use as an alternative cover for landfills made from recycled materials which may comprise construction and/or demolition debris to which is added tire derived rubber particles to inhibit the release of hydrogen sulfide gas through the reformulated barrier material to the surrounding atmosphere from the landfill beneath.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for producing an odor absorbing product for use as an alternative cover material for landfills using recycled material comprising the steps of:\n (a) receiving construction and demolition debris in a first area; (b) receiving clean fill in a second area; (c) receiving sized rubber material in a third area; (d) positive sorting at least one of masonry products, concrete, bricks, cinder block, rocks, and asphalt from the construction and demolition debris from the first area; (e) positive sorting a remaining portion of the construction and demolition debris from step (d) to remove recyclable materials including at least one of cardboard, wood, fiber, ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal; (f) negative sorting a remainder of the construction and demolition debris from step (e) to remove materials other than wood, roofing material, and insulating board to form a first feed stock component; (g) grinding the first feed stock component to a desired particle size of up to approximately six inches to form a first feed stock; (h) mixing the at least one of the masonry products, concrete, bricks, cinder block, rocks and asphalt with the clean fill from the second area to form a second feed stock component; (i) grinding the second feed stock component to a desired particle size of up to approximately six inches to form a second feed stock; (j) blending the first and second feed stocks in a proportion of approximately 2:1 to approximately 5:1 by weight to form an alternative cover material for landfills using recycled material to produce an alternative cover material; and (k) blending a feed of sized rubber material into the alternative cover material in a proportion of greater than zero and less than approximately 50 percent by volume to form a reformulated alternative cover material.
