“…Microfiltration and reverse osmosis technologies also demand large amounts of energy. Trzcinski and Stuckey [34] adopted a combination of traditional anaerobic-aerobic design for the treatment of a leachate sample with COD 5 11.97 g/L of a municipal solid waste. A submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor, followed by an aerobic membrane bioreactor were implemented successively so that a total COD removal of 96% was obtained [34].…”

In this study, an electrocoagulation method as a pretreatment step followed by an anaerobic treatment of landfill leachate are investigated. The electrocoagulation was performed at different operating conditions using a specially designed spiral iron electrode in continuous mode. Initial pH 5, current density 50 mA/cm2, and retention time of 54 min with no electrolyte addition was found to provide the maximum removal efficiency 69%. The effluent of the electrocoagulation was then treated anaerobically and the process was optimized using full factorial design method as two factors at three levels for wastewater concentrations of 50, 75, and 100% and cosubstrate concentrations of 2, 1.5, 0.5 g/L. The maximum COD removal for the anaerobic treatment was 74%. The combined system showed an overall COD removal efficiency of 92% by reducing the COD from 6400 mg/L to 516 mg/L. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1668–1676, 2018

“…Trzcinski and Stuckey [164] introduced an anaerobic-aerobic combined treatment in order to handle a synthetic leachate from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste with the COD at 5.72-26.78 g/L, ammonia-nitrogen at 7-140 mg N/L and phosphorus at 3.9-24 mg P/L. They used a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAMBR), followed by an aerobic membrane bioreactor (AMBR).…”

Abstract:Municipal solid waste final disposal represents an environmental burden worldwide since landfilling, or open dumping, is still the preferred solution for the end of life of solid discarded materials. This study aims to review the technological innovations applied for landfill leachate treatment, taking into consideration the experiences obtained during the past years and the solutions which have been implemented. The review showed that both biological and physiochemical treatments are not able to achieve the requested water quality level, according to the limits established by regulations, whether applied in a single treatment or multiple treatments. In order to respect sustainable release limits to guarantee environmental protection, the construction of depuration systems and combining biological and physiochemical treatment methods is considered of the utmost importance. The review looks at possible joint applications of different treatment techniques reviewed by other studies and considers the state of the art of current research. Combined technical solutions suggested within the 2016 peer-reviewed papers are presented and discussed as a sustainable way to effectively treat landfill leachate, giving particular attention to feasible solutions for developing countries.

“…It incorporates a series of filters such as nano-filters; used for contaminant sizes in the range 1 to 5 nm, ultra-filters; used for contaminant sizes in the range 5 to 100 nm and micro-filtration which is used for contaminants of size ranges between 100 to 1000 nm. MBR is considered efficient, simple, cost effective and reliable for the treatment of both organic and inorganic pollutants (Trzcinski and Stuckey 2016). It generates a high quality effluent.…”

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are very tenacious wastewater contaminants. The consequences of their existence have been acknowledged for negatively affecting the ecosystem with specific impact upon endocrine disruption and hormonal diseases in humans. Their recalcitrance and circumvention of nearly all the known wastewater treatment procedures are also well documented. The reported successes of POPs treatment using various advanced technologies are not without setbacks such as low degradation efficiency, generation of toxic intermediates, massive sludge production, and high energy expenditure and operational cost. However, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently recorded successes in the treatment of POPs in wastewater. AOPs are technologies which involve the generation of OH radicals for the purpose of oxidising recalcitrant organic contaminants to their inert end products. This review provides information on the existence of POPs and their effects on humans. Besides, the merits and demerits of various advanced treatment technologies as well as the synergistic efficiency of combined AOPs in the treatment of wastewater containing POPs was reported. A concise review of recently published studies on successful treatment of POPs in wastewater using hydrodynamic cavitation technology in combination with other advanced oxidation processes is presented with the highlight of direction for future research focus.
