Co-treatment of landfill leachate and sewage in a traditional wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a very common leachate management method in the United States. However, biologically recalcitrant and humic-like leachate organic matters (the major fraction of mature leachate organics) cannot be truly removed by the aerobic biodegradation in WWTPs. Prior to effluent discharge from WWTPs, chlorin...

The landfill leachate has high concentration of COD, ammonia and other recalcitrant composition compounds. The amount of eachwhich is mainly largely dependent on the age of the landfill. The conventional leachate treatments can be classified as chemical-physical treatments and biological treatments. Using fungi to treat leachate is an emerging research topic. Fungi, with their excellent recalci...

Leachate pollution is one of the main problems in landfilling. Among the most problematic parameters in stabilized leachate are COD, ammonia, and color. The treatment technology that can be used may differ based on the type of leachate produced. Even after treatment, the effluent characteristics are always hard to comply with the discharge standard. Ozonation is one of the chemical processes th...

Leachate is highly complex and polluted waste water that is produced by the introduction of percolation water through the body of landfill treatment. Leachate treatment is essential as it could threaten the surrounding ecosystem when discharge as it is and when it mixes with groundwater. This paper is a review of landfill leachate treatment methods. Advantages and drawbacks of various treatment...

Monitoring of leachate quality is the essential measure in aftercare for evaluating landfill stabilization. Generally, the most common way of leachate monitoring is executed at the inlet of the leachate treatment facility. However, it does not necessarily reflect the actual state of the site. Thus, methodologies which focus on both the discharge, in order to determine when the post-closure care...

Antidumping reform is critical to a successful completion of the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations and US willingness to engage in such reform is key to this effort. This paper assesses prospects for such reform by analyzing US implementation of Uruguay Round antidumping reform commitments. The results strongly suggest that the US has lived up to only the letter but not the spirit o...

The performance of three constructed wetland systems treating landfill leachate, two located in northern Poland (Szadółki near Gdańsk and Gatka near Miastko) and one in southern Sweden (Örebro), is discussed. The CWs differ in size, hydraulic regime, type of hydrophytic plants, and type of leachate pre-treatment before discharging to the CW. The CW in Szadółki consists of two parallel beds with...
