Electrochemical treatment of landfill leachate

Electrochemical methods can offer an elegant contribution towards environmental control as electrons provide a means of removing pollutants by redox reactions. In the process of electrochemical oxidation the main aim has been to convert oxidisable species into carbon dioxide. Leachate originating in landfills is complex wastewater that could exert high environmental impact. This study aims to ...

Landfill leachate treatment

BOYDEL is pleased to confirm that we have produced great results running a heavily fuel and metals laced municipal landfill leachate through our LMR electrocoagulation reactor. The attached picture essentially speaks for itself except that the clear BOYDEL treated effluent is free of fuel smell and that the sludge depicted on the right side of the picture has not been further dewatered and is ...

Landfill leachate treatment

Landfills are categorized by regulations in three types: industrial, municipal, and hazardous. Individual landfills may be further differentiated by the types of waste which they accept. All landfills are required to be capped, usually occurring at the end of each day. The cap is typically 6-8” of soil. The cap reduces odor and loss due to wind. At the closing of the landfill, a permanent ...

Landfill Leachate Sources and Treatment Options

What is leachate? In a lab, it is any liquid that extracts solids as it passes through matter. In a landfill, it is the water that enters the facility in a number of ways, passes through waste material on contact, contains a wide range of constituents, and must be addressed with a proper operations plan. Leachate treatment options and mitigation are one of the greatest costs for landfill ...

Sequential treatment of an old-landfill leachate

This work investigates the performance of combined techniques applied to the treatment of an old-landfill leachate, which presents high salinity, low biodegradability (BOD5/COD around 0.05) and high ammonia concentration. Three sequences of processes were employed, including coagulation/flocculation, chemical oxidation, biological treatment and ammonia stripping. The association of ...

Fungi immobilization for landfill leachate treatment

This paper investigated treatment of landfill leachate collected from Nonthaburi landfill site, Thailand, by using immobilized white rot fungi, namely, Trametes versicolor BCC 8725 and Flavodon flavus BCC 17421. Effects of pH and co-substrates were investigated at different contact times. Three types of co-substrates as carbon source used in this study are glucose, corn starch ...

Treatment of landfill leachate by effective microorganisms

Five dominant strains, capable of treating leachate effectively, were isolated. The results showed that the removal efficiency of COD by using the mixed strains was higher than the pure strain, reaching 46.8%. The optimal inoculum concentration and the treatment time were 10.0% and 120 h respectively. The removal rate of COD reached the maximum at the temperature of 35°C and pH of 7.0. The ...

Influence of magnetic treatment on the improvement of landfill leachate treatment

Magnetic treatment is an alternative simple approach by which landfill leachate treatment could be improved. The purpose of landfill leachate treatment is to remove the Suspended Solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Based on experiment by using circulation flowing system with a magnetic strength of 0.55 T, it was shown that the leachate quality could be ...

Municipal landfill leachate treatment by SBBGR technology

The paper reports the results of a laboratory-scale investigation aimed at evaluating the performance of a periodic biofilter with granular biomass (SBBGR) for treating leachate coming from a mature municipal landfill. The results show that the SBBGR was able to remove roughly 80% of COD in leachate. The remaining 20% of COD were, therefore, presumably owing to the presence in the leachate of ...

Ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis for Landfill Leachate Treatment

Lanchester Landfill serves Eastern Lancaster County and Western Chester County in PA for disposal of household and construction waste. The facility produces around 10,000 gals per day of leachate. The Problem The facility ran a single basin sequential batch reactor (SBR) and a filter press to dewater the solids for many years, but found that they first, could not sustain a ...

Co-treatment of old landfill leachate and municipal wastewater in sequencing batch reactor (SBR): effect of landfill leachate concentration

Sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was assessed for direct co-treatment of old landfill leachate and municipal wastewater for chemical oxygen demand (COD), nutrients and turbidity removal. Nitrogen removal was achieved by sequential nitrification and denitrification under post-anoxic conditions. Initially, SBR operating conditions were optimized by varying hydraulic retention time (HRT) at 20% ...

Landfill Leachate Containing VOCs, BNAs, and Phenolic

Southwest, USA AQUAMEND™ performance has been validated on landfill leachate containing a wide variety of volatile organics, base neutral acid extractable (BNA) compounds, and phenolics. The target compounds included methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), and acetone. These compounds have traditionally been difficult or expensive to remove from wastewater using existing ...

Characterisation and treatment of leachates from the municipal sanitary landfill of Thessaloniki, Greece

The optimum treatment technologies of leachates produced from a municipal landfill were studied in this work. Leachates composition ranged from high-strength acidic down to low-strength stabilised leachates, affecting the applicable treatment process. Efficient treatment of fresh leachates was achieved by biological methods, such as the SBR, or the moving bed processes, resulting in increased ...

Preparation and Performance of Inorganic Coagulant for Landfill Leachate Pretreatment

Landfill leachates are often defined as hazardous and heavy polluted wastewaters. It may contain large amount of organic matter, ammonia-nitrogen, heavy metals, chlorinated organics and inorganic salts (Wang et al. 2002). Proper treatment of leachate has therefore been a challenging problem confroting the local authorities. Anaerobic digestion or/and aerobic activated sludge methods are the most ...

Effects of landfill leachate treatment on hepatopancreas of Armadillidium vulgare (Crustacea, Isopoda)

The major environmental impact to the landfill is emission of pollutants via the leachate and gas pathway.The hepatopancreas of the terrestrial isopod Armadillidium vulgare (Isopoda, Crustacea, Latreille 1804) takes an important role in bioaccumulation of contaminants, such as heavy metals. To evaluate the effects of landfill leachate treatment, two different approaches are here applied: 1) ...
