Many of the landfills may contain xenobiotic compounds including monoaromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons, which are well documented to have negative effects in the aquatic environment and are resistant to biodegradation. In this research, landfill leachate was treated by combined advanced oxidation and suspended fiber biofiltration. Advanced oxidation destructed xenobiotics in th...

Moisture play a crucial role in vermicomposting of pressmud (filter cake) (P). Five levels of moisture contents of pressmud (55-57%, 60-62%, 65-67%, 70-72% and 75-77%) at 31±2°C on earthworm activities (growth, reproduction and recovery rate of vermicompost) of Perionyx excavatus (Perrier)-an indigenous species and total microbial population, activity and nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium conten...

Detoxification of polluted water containing chromium and phosphorous and its resource recovery were investigated by hydrothermal mineralization using Ca(OH)2 or CaCl2 mineralizers. Under the optimum treatment condition for removing chromic acid (at 473 K, for 2 h using CaCl2 mineralizer in an in situ sampling-type autoclave), CrO4 was recovered as CaCrO4 and the concentration in the treated-wat...
