Potential positive effects of natural sunlight on a biological system for landfill leachate treatment
Liyun Cai
Abstract:Activated sludge filtration performance is a significant mean to evaluate membrane fouling trend for wastewater treatment. Here the impact of sunlight irradiation on activated sludge filtration performance and microbial communities in sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) when treating raw landfill leachate were studied. The sludge in photic SBR (i.e., SBR exposed to natural sunlight) exhibited better filtration performance compared to dark SBR (i.e., SBR unexposed to sunlight). The removal efficiency of COD and NH… Show more
