A pilot-scale combined system composed of anaerobic digenstion, membrane bioreactor (MBR) and Electro-Catalyzed oxidation processes has been set up to treat the leachate from municipal solid waste (MSW) transfer station. System performance was evaluated by ammonia and chemical oxidation demand (COD) removal . Results showed that 97% of ammonia was removed by MBR, and the elimination of COD was mainly completed in anaerobic process and MBR with a total removal of 99%. In addition, the analysis of microbial communities in the MBR, carried out by clone library and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the 16S rRNA genes, indicated a highly diverse bacterial community and the enrichment of N-cycling bacteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
