one of the most important concerns in tehran municipal landfill is the production of leachate and its potential for water resources pollution, this study was undertaken to examine feasibility of biological and physico/chemical treating of high-strength landfill leachate that was collected from tehran municipal landfill. average cod of the leachate in aerobic submerged membrane bioreactor is 680...

The biodegradability of leachate from the land treatment of hydrocarboncontaminated soil was investigated in the laboratory using respirometry and toxicity test­ ing in combination with total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) measurements. Soil in land treatment units (LTU) had been contaminated with a diesellike hydrocarbon mixture formerly used as a diluent for crude oil at an oil field in Californ...

the aim of this study was the increasing of leachate quality using integrated membrane bioreactor (mbr). the reactor was fed with treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (cod). the analysis of cod, biochemical oxygen demand (bod5), total suspended solids (tss), and total dissolved solids (tds) were performed in feed and filtrate, whenever the system reached steady stat...

heavily polluted wastewater from sanitary landfill presents the leachate characteristics that need special treatment and disposal. concentration of chemical oxygen demand (cod), ammonia nitrogen (nh3-n), heavy metal and other pollutant content are often larger than standard requirement after applying biological/physico-chemical treatment.thus, the combination of coagulationflocculation and chem...

Genotoxic assessment of landfill leachate before and after biological treatment was conducted with two human cell lines (Me45 and NHDF) and Daphnia magna somatic cells. The alkali version of comet assay was used to examine genotoxicity of leachate by DNA strand breaks analysis and its repair dynamics. The leachate samples were collected from Zabrze landfill, situated in the Upper Silesian Indus...

Field weathering of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) produces soluble compost leachate that percolates into underlying soils and may adversely impact groundwater. Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate movement and retention of SMS leachate solutes in subsurface soil columns. Spent mushroom substrate leachate with high concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and inorganic s...
