high strength fresh leachates generated at a new disposal trench, compost plant and partially stabilized leachate of an older trench were characterized in terms of anaerobic degradation at laboratory batch scale at 35oc. fresh leachate had extremely high cod of 66,710 – 89,501 mg/l along with low ph of 4.1-5.9 in contrast to older and therefore partially stabilized leachate with a cod of about ...

The generation of contaminated leachate remains an inevitable consequence of the practice of solid waste disposal in landfills. The collection and treatment of leachate have become common practice in order to prevent environmental pollution. Leachate treatment is highly dependent on the quality of leachate, which in turn is influenced by various factors including waste composition and operation...

Urban landfill leachate is a high strength wastewater characterized by high concentrations of recalcitrant organic compounds, ammonia and, increasingly, arsenic. The aims of this study were the review on membrane bioreactor, ion exchange and adsorption method for landfill leachate treatment. Membrane bioreactor (MBR) can be used for wastewater and landfill leachate treatment. The most important...

Sanitary landfilling is the most common way to dispose solid urban waste; however, improper landfill management may pose serious environmental threats through discharge of high strength polluted wastewater also known as leachate. The treatment of landfill leachate to fully reduce the negative impact on the environment, is nowadays a challenge. In this study, an aerobic sequencing batch reactor ...

The present study investigates seasonal variations of leachate composition and its toxic potency on different species, such as the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana (formerly Artemia salina), the fairy shrimp Thamnocephalus platyurus, the estuarine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis and the microalgal flagellate Dunaliella tertiolecta. In specific, leachate regularly collected from the municipal land...

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...

Landfill monitoring is necessary to avoid adverse environmental impacts. Toxicity tests are now incorporated into landfill hazard assessment. Toxicity of leachate in a lagoon draining the AbaEku landfill, Ibadan, Nigeria was investigated using bioassays. 96hr bioassays were carried out using arthropods (Insecta larvae of Chironomus sp.; Culex pipiens); amphibians (tadpoles of Bufo regularis); a...
