The physical and chemical characterization of samples was obtained by analysis: specifies the mass and particle residue, pH in water (1:2.5), organic carbon, infrared spectroscopy, potentiometric titration, concentration of metals (Zn , Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Mg, Mn, Fe and Cr) and quantification of humic substances. The results showed that the residues presented humics substances high concentration, with groups titratable compatible with values observed in literature for humics substances; RSU_Old presented hight humification degree and high capacity of the retention of metals regarding RSU_Mature. %K Landfill %K Solid waste %U http://www.unipinhal.edu.br/ojs/engenhariaambiental/include/getdoc.php?id=1022&article=373&mode=pdf
