Abstract
A combined process of coagulation pretreatment and three-stage membrane aeration biofilm reactor (MABR) system was successfully applied for the first time to treat actual municipal solid waste leachate (MSWL), which was characterized by high concentrations of toxic hard-to-degrade organics and salinity. The results showed that 9.8%-21.3% of organics could be removed from actual MSWL by coagulation with polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC). Three-stage MABR contributed 95.6% of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, with the influent COD concentration ranging from 6000 to 7000 mg/L. At the same time, the removal efficiencies of total nitrogen (TN) and ammonia (NH4+-N) could reach to 84.3% and 79.9% without the addition of external carbon source, respectively. The nitrifying/denitrifying bacteria were enriched in the biofilm including Thiobacillus, Azoarcus and Methyloversatilis, which supported the MABR with high nitrogen removal efficiency and significantly toxic tolerance. Principal component analysis (PCA) and the Pearson correlation coefficients (r) illustrated that aeration pressure is a crucial operational parameter, exhibiting a strong correlation between the MABR performance and microbial communities. This work demonstrates that MABR is an effective and low-energy option for simultaneous removal of carbon and nitrogen in the treatment of MSWL.

Abstract
Landfill leachate is a seriously polluted and hazardous liquid, which contains a high concentration of refractory organics, ammonia nitrogen, heavy metals, inorganic salts, and various suspended solids. The favorable disposal of landfill leachate has always been a hot and challenging issue in wastewater treatment. As one of the best available technologies for landfill leachate disposal, coagulation has been studied extensively. However, there is an absence of a systematic review regarding coagulation in landfill leachate treatment. In this paper, a review focusing on the characteristics, mechanisms, and application of coagulation in landfill leachate treatment was provided. Different coagulants and factors influencing the coagulation effect were synthetically summarized. The performance of coagulation coupled with other processes and their complementary advantages were elucidated. Additionally, the economic analysis conducted in this study suggests the cost-effectiveness of the coagulation process. Based on previous studies, challenges and perspectives met by landfill leachate coagulation treatment were also put forward. Overall, this review will provide a reference for the coagulation treatment of landfill leachate and promote the development of efficient and eco-friendly leachate treatment technology.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 343:123271. [PMID: 38160769 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
In order to utilize waste heat such as exhaust steam and hot air passing through air preheater in the waste incineration plant to heat air used for evaporating leachate concentrate (LC) by gas-liquid contact evaporation technology, hot air of 600 °C, 450 °C and 250 °C was used to evaporate LC in a laboratory-scale evaporator to obtain purified condensate used for supplying water for circulating cooling water system. The influence of pH, hot air temperature and evaporation rate on COD and NH3-N in condensate were investigated to identify the optimum operation of this technology. The results showed that COD concentration in condensate obviously decreased with increase in hot air temperature. Higher hot air temperature led to higher initial evaporation temperature, and evaporation rate of water was significantly greater than that of small molecular organic matter with lower boiling point than water with increasing hot air temperature. Reduction in contents of phenol, ketone and benzene was responsible for COD decreasing in condensate. COD in condensate decreased with increase in pH, as the amount of volatile organic matter such as fatty acids escaped from LC to condensate decreased. The pH had little influence on the DOM in condensate according to EEM spectra analysis. Evaporation rate had little influence on COD in the condensate water. NH3-N concentrations in condensate in all experimental groups were far away from the limit value (10 mg/L) in the water quality standard. Under the premise of meeting water quality standard, the lowest temperature (450 °C) of hot air was selected to save energy and use lower grade waste heat. Therefore, the optimum condition was 450 °C of hot air, pH = 7 of LC and CF = 10. At this condition, molecular weight of DOM in the condensate was smaller and humification degree and aromaticity of DOM were lower according to UV-visible absorption spectrum analysis.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 350:141058. [PMID: 38182087 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.141058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
In this study, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-modified multi-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene (CMM) was produced using a Ti3AlC2 precursor, and its capacity to remove the anionic dye, methyl orange (MO), was investigated in detail. An electrostatic combination between negatively charged Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and cationic surfactant solution (CTAB) produced this adsorbent. This triggered an exposure of the accessible active sites to further boost adsorption effectiveness by increasing the distance between the MXene nanosheets. Prepared adsorbents were characterized using some analytical techniques, including TGA, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD, and N2 adsorption-desorption. Furthermore, some influencing parameters such as contact time, solution of pH, loading adsorbent, and initial dye concentration were evaluated, with findings showing that MO could adsorb CMM to its maximum capacity at an adsorbent dosage of 0.83 g/L, a contact time of 90 min, and a solution pH of 3. Adsorption results were found to be highly linked with both Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.9990) and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 = 0.9924). The maximum adsorption capacity of MO was obtained at approximately 213.00 mg/g. Also, hydrogen bonding, π-cation interactions, and electrostatic adsorption can all be implicated in the mechanism of MO adsorption on CMM. The fabricated CMM is presented as a prospective adsorbent for the removal of dyes from polluted water, demonstrating robust recyclability for up to the fifth iteration. All these outstanding properties indicate that cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-modified multi-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene can be considered as applicable adsorbents for textile pollutants.

Abstract
In order to verify that coagulation as pre-treatment can reduce the temperature of the hot air used for direct contact evaporating the leachate concentrate (LC) and low-grade waste heat such as exhaust steam in the waste incineration plant can be used to evaporate the LC. The supernatants after coagulation using polymerized ferrous sulfate (PFS), polymeric-aluminum (PAC), polymeric silicate aluminum ferric (PSAF) and poly-aluminum ferric chloride (PAFC) as coagulants were further treated in a lab-scale direct contact evaporation system. The results showed that the best performance with removal efficiencies of COD and NH3-N of 58.70% and 29.09% was achieved after coagulation when PAFC dosage = 15 g/L, PAM dosage = 30 mg/L and initial pH of supernatant = 6. After coagulation, a large amount of the fulvic-like acid and aromatic heterocyclic compounds were removed and the degree of complexity and aromaticity of organics decreased. After direct contact evaporation, using PAFC as coagulant still was the best selection due to its lowest concentrations of COD and NH3-N (22 mg/L and 1.02 mg/L) in the condensate produced by this two-stage treatment when initial pH of supernatant was 6 during evaporation and the condensate produced by this two-stage treatment met the water quality standard for using as supplying water for circulating cooling water system when temperature of hot air used for heating LC was at low temperature (250 °C). The fulvic-like acid and aromatic heterocyclic compounds in the condensate continuously reduced. Phenol, adamantane, 1-isocyanato, phthalic anhydrid, tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphat, Heptadecane, 2-methyl, ginsenol and Octadecane, 2-methyl- in the condensate obviously decreased. The effect of four coagulants as pretreatment on reducing the temperature of hot air used for evaporating LC was ranked as PAFC > PFS > PAC > PSAF. PSAF was not recommended due to the large amount of NH3-N produced when using PSAF to treat the LC.

Abstract
Six kinds of waste liquids produced in the treatment process of leachate in a waste incineration plant were used to improve the adsorption effect of raw kaolin on heavy metal chloride. The capture performances of these modified kaolin on PbCl2 and CdCl2 vapor were investigated in a two-stage fixed bed combustor. The results indicated that the adsorption effects of raw kaolin on PbCl2 and CdCl2 were improved in some experimental groups, main effective component was Na+ in the leachate, but the influences did not change regularly with the increase in the concentration of Na + introduced into kaolin. The adsorbents formed by modifying 10 g kaolin with 21.25 ml leachate 2 were the best adsorbents for PbCl2 and CdCl2. The capture efficiencies of PbCl2 and CdCl2 can reach 95% and 63.88%, with the increase of 36% and 53%, respectively. Using leachate as modifying agent had the same effect as directly using Na+. Adsorptions of PbCl2 and CdCl2 were still mainly chemical adsorptions. After adsorption of PbCl2, the modified kaolin not only generated PbA12Si2O8, but also produced other chemical compounds. The adsorption of CdCl2 by modified kaolin did not generate CdAl2Si2O8, but other chemical reactions occurred to generate CdAl2O4 and Pb8Cd (Si2O7)3.

Abstract
Herein, a simple one-pot solvothermal approach is used to create magnetic porous carbon nanocomposites which obtained from a nickel-based metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) and examined for their ability to uptake methyl orange (MO) dye. Derived carbons with exceptional porosity and magnetic properties were created during the different pyrolysis temperatures of Ni-MOF (700, 800, and 900 °C) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The black powders were given the names CDM-700, CDM-800, and CDM-900 after they were obtained. A variety of analysis methods, including FESEM, EDS, XRD, FTIR, VSM, and N2 adsorption-desorption were used to characterize as-prepared powders. Furthermore, adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH variation, and initial dye concentration effects was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacities were 307.38, 5976.35, 4992.39, and 2636.54 mg/g for Ni-MOF, CDM-700, CDM-800, and CDM-900, respectively, which show the ultrahigh capacity of the resulted nanocomposites compared to newest materials. The results showed that not only the crystallinity turned but also the specific surface area was increased about four times after paralyzing. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of MO dye for CDM-700 was obtained at adsorbent dosage of 0.083 g/L, contact time of 60 min, feed pH of 3, and temperature of 45 °C. The Langmuir model has the best match and suggests the adsorption process as a single layer. According to the results of reaction kinetic studies using well-known models, the pseudo-second-order model (R2 = 0.9989) displayed high agreement with the experimental data. The synthesized nanocomposite is introduced as a promising superadsorbent for eliminating dyes from contaminated water due to strong recycling performance up to the fifth cycle.

Abstract
nanofiltration membrane concentrate (NMC) is an emerging type of wastewater with significant environmental concerns. which can be treated efficiently by an integrated method. In this study, magnetic biochar (MBC) pretreatment integrated with anaerobic digestion (AD) (MBC + AD) was used to treat NMC. Results showed that under the optimal MBC + AD conditions, 79%, 69.4%, 52.9%, and 86.5% of COD, total nitrogen (TN), chromaticity, and light absorbing substances were reduced. For heavy metals removal, 18.3%, 70.0%, 96.4%, 43.8% and 97.5% of Cr (VI), Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn were removed, respectively. LC-MS analysis indicated that p-nitrophenol (4-NP) diethyl and phthalate (DEP) were the main organic pollutants in NMC with a removal rate of 60% and 90%. Compared with single AD, in MBC + AD samples, bacterial activity was improved, and genus DMER64 (23.2%) was dominant. The predominant archaea were Methanocorpusculum (53.3%) and Methanosarcina (25.3%), with microbial restructuring and slight methane generation. Additionally, metabolic pathway prediction revealed that both bacterial and archaeal metabolism were significantly enhanced, contributing to the central functional pathways, namely microbial activity metabolism and biodegradation metabolism. In addition, the significantly increased genera Syner-01, Vulcanibacillus, Methanocorpusculum, and Norank_c_Bathyarchaeia were significantly positively related to metabolic function. This finding demonstrated that MBC + AD enhanced contaminant removal, mainly by regulating bacterial diversity and activity. Moreover, the toxicity of NMC decreased after MBC + AD treatment. This study provides a potential biological strategy for the treatment of membrane concentrates and water recovery.

Abstract
Landfill leachate treatment involved with the membrane bioreactor (MBR) combined with membrane treatment via nanofiltration (NF) and/or reverse osmosis (RO) is widely used in Turkey. This treatment produces landfill leachate membrane concentrates (LLMCs) with an undesirably high concentration of contaminants. In the study, two different nanofiltration concentrates of leachate were coagulated. Coagulant dosages from 0.10 to 5.0 g of Me3+/L (Me3+: Al3+ or Fe3+), and the pH values ranged from 4.0 to 8.0 and 3.0-9.0 for Al-based and Fe-based coagulants, respectively. The most efficient pH values were 5.0 and 4.0 for Al3+ and Fe3+, respectively. These pH values are lower than those known to be effective in coagulants. The reason for this is the presence of humic substances in the wastewater. The cost of Fe2(SO4)3.xH2O was the lowest than other coagulants at the end of the cost analyses obtained from İstanbul region landfill leachate NF concentrate (NFCL-1) and Kocaeli region landfill leachate NF concentrate (NFCL-2). Under optimum conditions, the costs for NFCL-1 and NFCL-2 were calculated as 0.55 and 0.46 $/removed kg COD, respectively.

[PMID: 34569916 DOI: 10.1080/10962247.2021.1985012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2021] [Revised: 08/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The landfill leachate is considered a toxic effluent composed of recalcitrant contaminants that requires innovative alternatives for its decontamination. Coupling between advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and aerobic biological treatments are highlighted in this research. Therefore, a bibliographic review of the research made from 2010 to 2021 was developed. These combined alternatives were applied in leachates, and it is oriented toward the analysis of knowledge gaps, trends, and future proposals of the treatment combined that contribute to researchers who wish to work on the subject. These kinds of treatments were chosen due to a bibliometric analysis made. Also, the information was searched in several scientific database. This work was found to be unpublished, as no reviews were found so far that agglomerate studies of coupling between photocatalytic and aerobic biological processes to treat leachates. Besides, AOPs are ideal for treating wastewater of complex composition, however, when it is used as the only treatment, they are usually unprofitable, which justifies their coupling with biological treatments. Subsequently, it was determined that the knowledge main gap is the lack of documentation of treatment costs, which makes it difficult to implement on a real scale. In addition to this, the couplings trends are toward doping with metallic and nonmetallic ions of the catalyst used in the photocatalytic process to improve the efficiency of these. Finally, future research should work on finding alternatives that allow the optimization of the resources used in the combined systems and on promoting the recovery of existing products in the leachate.Implications: Leachates generate several environmental impacts due to their toxic composition. Even when coupling between heterogeneous photocatalysis and biologic treatment can solve them, issues like cost analysis and the scaling-up factor have not been developed, and futures researchers should work on that. Besides, the trend founded in almost all investigations was the catalyst doping with metals and nonmetals ions, particularly when they use TiO2 because it gives the possibility of improving efficiencies just with a structural variation. Finally, these treatment combinations require more analyses and comparison of their remotion over emerging pollutants and their performance with new designs.

Abstract
Landfill leachate membrane concentrate (LLMC) poses risks to the environment and is commonly treated by evaporation. As the main component of the dissolved organic matter in LLMC, fulvic acid (FA) was selected as a representative to investigate its effect on evaporation and the removal efficiency by pretreatment in this study. According to the water quality indexes and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra of LLMC samples collected from five landfills in China, the concentration of total organic carbon in LLMC was 700–2500 mg·L−1, in which FA accounted for 50–85%. The boiling point and viscosity of the configured FA-NaCl-Na2SO4 solution both increased significantly when FA was concentrated 20 times (approximately 30,000 mg·L−1). Due to the presence of FA, the violent frothing phenomenon appeared at above 70 °C in evaporation, and the solubility of CaSO4·2H2O in FA-NaCl-Na2SO4 solution was significantly lower than that without FA. All these results indicated that the high FA concentration in LLMC could lead to decreased heat transfer coefficient and evaporation capacity during evaporation. Therefore, the softening pretreatment including the addition of Ca(OH)2, Na2CO3, and coagulants was employed to reduce the hardness and FA concentration. After the softening experiments, the removal efficiency of FA was >95% for the configured LLMC sample, while for the actual LLMC sample collected from landfills, the removal efficiency of FA and chemical oxygen demand could reach >80% and about 30%, respectively. The remaining concentration of FA in LLMC was about 200 mg·L−1, and the recovery efficiency of clean water could be 90% in the evaporation process. This research has important guiding significance for the evaporation treatment of LLMC.

Abstract
During leachate treatment, molecular information regarding the completely removed, partially removed, less-reactive, increased, and produced parts of dissolved organic matter (DOM) remains unknown. This study applied ESI FT-ICR MS to investigate the transformation characteristics of leachate nanofiltration concentrate (NFC) DOM during a combined flocculation-O3/H2O2 process. The NFC contained 5069 compounds in four main classes (CHO, CHON, CHOS, and CHONS compounds). The DOM number decreased to 4489 during flocculation and to 2903 after the O3/H2O2 process. During flocculation, the completely and partially removed DOM was mainly low-oxygen unsaturated and phenolic compounds. Saturated DOM was produced and remained in the flocculated effluent. During the O3/H2O2 process, the completely and partially removed DOM were mainly low-oxygen unsaturated and phenolic compounds that were mainly in a reduced state. Flocculation can remove many (condensed) aromatic compounds, and methylation and hydrogenation reactions occurred during flocculation. In the O3/H2O2 process, dearomatization, demethylation, carboxylation, and carbonylation reactions further achieved the degradation of DOM that was resistant to flocculation. Overall, the combined flocculation-O3/H2O2 process collectively eliminated a broader range of DOM than the single processes could achieve. The results of this study provide an in-depth understanding of DOM transformation in an NFC treatment.

Coagulation removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in nanofiltration concentrate of biologically treated landfill leachate by ZrCl 4: Performance, mechanism and coagulant recycling. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 301:134768. [PMID: 35500625 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Coagulation treatment is often applied for removing the residual refractory dissolved organic matter (DOM) in biologically treated landfill leachate nanofiltration concentrate (LLNC) before discharge or further desalination treatment. However, the DOM removal efficiency by traditional coagulant needs to be improved, and two problems including the coagulant loss and difficulty in disposal of coagulation sludge need to be resolved. Based on this practical demand, a new coagulant ZrCl4 was adopted for LLNC treatment for the first time. The results showed that, ZrCl4 was better than the traditional coagulants (FeCl3 and AlCl3) for DOM removal. Under the optimal condition of pH 6.0 and ZrCl4 dosage of 5.0 mM, the DOC content, UV254 and chromaticity of the LLNC reduced by 73.32%, 83.17% and 93.59%, respectively. All of the coagulants tested in this study could efficiently remove the hydrophobic and high molecular organics. There was an obvious difference between them for removal of hydrophobic, and small or medium molecular organics, and ZrCl4 was more effective. This might be due to the stronger negative charge neutralization capacity and larger floc size of ZrCl4, which was beneficial for DOM combination and adsorption. The loss of zirconium was only 2.11%, which was much lower than that of iron and aluminum. Furthermore, being recycled for 3 times after coagulant regeneration, the recovered zirconium coagulant showed no obvious difference with the original ZrCl4 for DOM removal, indicating the disposal problem of the produced coagulation sludge can be resolved. This study could provide a promising method for LLNC treatment.

Molecular transformation and composition flow of dissolved organic matter in four typical concentrated leachates from the multi-stage membrane system.

Abstract
Concentrated leachate (CL), characterized with high content salts and compositional complexity of dissolved organic matter (DOM), is difficult to degrade. Understanding the CL from molecular insight level is the requirement for further disposal based on their components. Here, typical CL samples were collected from the multi-stage membrane separation process in a large-scale leachate plant, including nanofiltration (NF), primary ultrafiltration (PUF), secondary nanofiltration (SNF), and reverse osmosis (RO). More than 95% of DOM was removed from raw CL, of which about 3/4 flowed into PUFCL and 1/5 flowed into SNFCL. DOM with macro-molecular weight (>500 Da, 30.46%) and highly unsaturated compounds (double-bond equivalents >15) were detected in PUFCL. Nearly half of DOM was CHO-only compounds (42.04%) in SNFCL. PUFCL was abundant in heteroatom species with higher-order oxygen (O ≥ 10), which was coincident with the trend of humic substance distribution (humic substance >1/2). Based on these properties results, advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, might be the right process for SNFCL rich in heteroatom species with low-order oxygen (O < 10). Abundant disulfides (S2O2-6 classes, 20.19%) and monovalent salts existed in ROCL, which should be removed from the system. These findings might provide basic information for the treatment of CLs from different membranes.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) refers to a reliable channel for energy recovery from organics. However, the digestion efficiency of excess sludge (ES) has been unsatisfactory since there are defects relating to ES hydrolysis. Therefore, this study explored a method to improve the anaerobic digestion of ES, which could simultaneously treat ES and incineration leachate, and revealed the potential mechanism of AD process. As the investigation was conducted on the influences exerted by incineration leachate on the four phases (i.e., solubilization, methanogenesis, acidogenesis and hydrolysis) of ES anaerobic digestion, and the effect mechanism. According to obtained results, adding appropriate amounts of incineration leachate could facilitate the steps of solubilization, hydrolysis, acidogenesis and methanogenesis of ES. The hydrolysis and acidogenesis efficiency in the leachate added digesters were 5.7%-17.1% and 13%-45% higher than that of the control digester, respectively. Meanwhile, cumulative methane yields (CMY) were 27-86 mL/gVS higher than that in the control digester. Besides, the sludge floc stability was reduced by the leachate with the decrease in the median particle size (MPS) and apparent activation energy (AAE) of the sludge. According to microbial community and diversity analysis, adding incineration leachate increased the relative abundance of hydrolytic-acidification bacteria in the digesters and the relative abundance of Methanosaeta and Methanosarcina. Thus, the digestive performance exhibited by the leachate participated system was improved. These mentioned findings may provide an approach for treating ES and incineration leachate in practical engineering.

Abstract
Water treatment is crucial to improve the water quality and reduce diarrheal and chronological diseases caused by excessive discharge of organic dyes and other waste. The development and expansion of efficient catalysts for the degradation and sterilization of organic dyes has attracted widespread attention. Herein, we report an example of a porphyrin-based two-dimensional layered metal-organic framework (MOF) (2DZnTcpp) and its efficient sono-/photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and bactericidal activity. The dislocated layers effectively avoid close π-π stacking and provide a porous space for oxygen/water/dye contact. The introduction of Zn ions increases the spin orbital coupling through the heavy atom effect and promotes the intersystem crossing process for singlet oxygen generation. The effective ligand-to-metal charge transfer and the excessive open Zn catalytic sites also facilitate water splitting for hydroxyl radical generation. These features together promote the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of 2DZnTcpp under light illumination or ultrasound sonication. It is worth noting that the 2DZnTcpp with a high specific surface area and porosity shows efficient sono-/photocatalytic degradation of organic dye waste. Moreover, 2DZnTcpp could also largely inactivate Escherichia coli under light irradiation (the light power of 1 sun) or ultrasound sonication for 30 min with efficiencies over 99.99999%. This work provides an approach for the design and synthesis of MOF-based sono-/photocatalysts used in the purification and treatment of textile wastewater and is committed to the establishment of a more efficient, fast, and environmentally friendly catalytic system.

Abstract
Several environmental problems in Brazil are caused by the accelerated urban and industrial growth and by the multiplicity of urban waste generated. Waste disposal in landfills is still common practice in Brazil. This work was conducted in sand filters and activated carbon column, proposing an alternative for the physical-chemical treatment of leachate as a pre-treatment to preserve the biological process. The results showed reductions of up to 74% for COD, 47% for BOD5, 93% for color, 90% for ammonia and an increase from 0.3 to 0.9 in the BOD5/COD ratio. Although the results obtained do not fall within the limits of the legislation, the results for ammonia concentration was reduced by 33.25% and 85.37% after filtration and activated carbon column treatment respectively. The use of activated carbon columns resulted in an excellent performance in the reduction of heavy metals in the leachate. The performance demonstrated a removal of 60-96%. Limitations were found in the length of the filtration races, as a limiting factor in the process. The results show the potential of using direct upward filtration with sand and activated carbon filters for the treatment of landfill leachate.

Abstract
An integration of two processes, magnetic coagulation (MC) and short-cut biological nitrogen removal (SBNR), coupled with a sequencing batch membrane bioreactor (SMBR) controlled by an automatic real-time control strategy (RTC), was developed to treat different characteristics of high strength wastewater. The treatment efficiency and microbial community-diversity of the proposed method was evaluated and investigated using swine wastewater and food waste (FW) digestate. The MC showed high removal of TSS (89.1 ± 1.5%, 92.21 ± 1.8%), turbidity (90.58 ± 2.1%, 95.1 ± 2.1%), TP (88.5 ± 1.9%, 92.1 ± 1.5%), phosphate (87.76 ± 1.6%, 91.22 ± 1.5%), and SMBR achieved stable and excellent removal of COD (96.05 ± 0.2%, 97.39 ± 0.2%), TN (97.30 ± 0.3%, 97.44 ± 0.3%) andNH4+-N (99.07 ± 0.2%, 98.54 ± 0.2%) for swine wastewater and FW digestate, respectively. The effluent COD andNH4+-N concentrations were found to meet their discharge standards. The microbial community comparison showed similar diversity and richness, and genus Diaphorobacter and Thaurea were dominant in denitritation, and Nitrosomonas was dominant in nitritation treating both swine wastewater and FW digestate.

Optimized pre-treatment of high strength food waste digestate by high content aluminum-nanocluster based magnetic coagulation. J Environ Sci (China) 2021; 104:430-443. [PMID: 33985745 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2020.12.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Coagulation-based pre-treatment efficiency of high strength digestate of food waste (HSDFW) anaerobic digestion is negated by organic ligand-catalyzed decomposition of coagulants. In this study, an efficient HSDFW pre-treatment method, magnetic seeds (MS) coagulation, was employed by using highly stable Keggin Al30 nanocluster (PAC30), MS and polyacrylamide (PAM), and its operation was optimized by evaluating the performance of removing turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total phosphorous (TP) phosphate. Results showed that at the optimum dosage of 4.82 g/L, PAC30 demonstrated excellent removals as high as 98.93% ± 0.1% of turbidity, 98.04% ± 0.1% of TSS, 58.28% ± 0.3% of total COD, 99.98% ± 0.01% of TP and 99.50% ± 0.01% of dissolved phosphate, respectively. Apparent molecular weight (AMW) and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy analyses demonstrated more efficient removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM), particularly non-biodegradable and hydrophobic components by PAC30 than commercial coagulant. The sedimentation was much improved from 40 min by coagulation/flocculation to about 5 min settling by MS coagulation. The PAC30 based magnetic coagulation (MC) presents theoretical guidance on a cost-effective and much less footprint pre-treatment alternative for high strength wastewater.

Abstract
To comprehensively investigate the application of membrane separation technology in the treatment of landfill leachate in China, the performance of nearly 200 waste management enterprises of different sizes in China were analyzed, with an emphasis on their scale, regional features, processes, and economic characteristics. It was found that membrane separation technologies, mainly nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO), and NF + RO, have been used in China since 2004. The treatment capacity of the two most dominant membrane separation technologies, i.e., NF and RO, were both almost 60,000 m3/d in 2018, and both technologies are widely used in landfills and incineration plants. Their distribution is mainly concentrated in eastern and southwestern China, where the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) is relatively high and the economy is developing rapidly. Membrane separation technology is the preferred technique for the advanced treatment of leachate because more contaminants can be effectively removed by the technology than by other advanced processes. However, the membrane retentate that is produced using this technology-commonly known as leachate concentrate-is heavily contaminated due to the enrichment of almost all the inorganic anions, heavy metals, and organic matter that remain after bioprocessing. An economic cost analysis revealed that the operating cost of membrane separation technology has stabilized and is between 1.77 USD/m3 and 4.90 USD/m3; electricity consumption is the most expensive cost component. This review describes the current problems with the use of membrane separation technology and recommends strategies and solutions for its future use.

Abstract
Phytotechnological approaches using living plants are currently being proposed to address a wide range of environmental purposes including the treatment of landfill leachate (LL). Despite their popularity, few studies have investigated this possibility under actual Mediterranean conditions using fast-growing trees. This research reports the results of a two-year project where poplar and willow grown in mesocosm were tested for their ability to withstand and remove specific pollutants from different [Low: 7% (1st year) and 15% (2nd year); High: 15% (1st year) and 30% (2nd year)] amounts of LL. Results indicate that both species were able to treat 340 (Low) and 680 (High) m3 ha-1 in the establishment year (70 days) and 2470 (Low) and 4950 (High) m3 ha-1 in the second year (150 days). Both species yielded the same aboveground biomass, but under high LL treatment, poplar performed better than willow. Poplar showed on average significantly higher extraction rates for Cd, Cu, P, and N than willow. Moreover, under high LL treatment, poplar also seemed more efficient than willow in decreasing the concentration of specific pollutants (BOD5, COD and As) in output effluent. However, with low LL loads both species were able to significantly reduce other compounds (i.e. NH4-N, Cu and Ni). By contrast, Cl, surfactants, and NO3-N, had a tendency to accumulate over time in the effluent and could still represent an actual constraint to large-scale application of the technique. The fate of such pollutants should be investigated with further research to better inform strategies used to manage low amounts of high-concentrated effluent.

Abstract
Concentrated leachate (CL) is commonly featured with high salt and dissolved organic matters (DOM). In this study, molecular transformation of DOM was revealed to identify the reactive mechanisms with (non-) radical reactive species in ozonation, electrolysis and E+-ozonation processes. Chlorine ions were efficiently activated into non-radical reactive chlorine species (RCS) with 245.7 mg/L, which was more dominant in electrolysis. Compared to ozonation, C•OH was increased from 2.6 × 10-4 mg/L into 5.8 × 10-4 mg/L and the generation of Cl•/ClO• could be concluded according to the decline of non-radical RCS in E+-ozonation process. For chromophoric and fluorescent DOM, aromatic compounds and polymerization degree dramatically decreased in E+-ozonation. Lipid-like and CRAM/lignin-like compounds were substantially degraded, as •OH and ClO•/Cl• shows an affinity towards oxygen-containing organic compounds via single electron transfer by attracting OH bonds. Especially, carbon/hydrogen/oxygen (CHO-containing) compounds were readily to be degraded with the removal efficiency of 92.5 %, 97.0 % and 98.4 % in electrolysis, ozonation and E+-ozonation, respectively. Moreover, nitrogen atoms have a negative effect on DOM degradation, and thus, carbon/hydrogen/nitrogen and carbon/hydrogen/nitrogen/sulfur (CHN- and CHNS-containing) compounds were considered as refractory compounds. This paper is expected to shed light on the synergetic effect in E+-ozonation and transformation of refractory DOM in CL treatment.

Abstract
Membrane concentrated leachate is an important secondary pollutant in incineration plants and needs to be treated properly in order to achieve the "zero discharge" standard for pollutants from incineration plants. In this study, coagulation followed by the electro-oxidation (EO), and electro-coagulation (EC) methods were studied. Each of these processes was used to treat the spacer tube reverse osmosis membrane concentrated leachate from an incineration plant. A single factor experiment was used to determine the optimal conditions for each individual process. In addition, a two-stage electrochemical treatment was investigated after combining the optimized EO and EC processes. The results showed that the two-stage electrochemical treatment process can achieve much higher removal efficiencies than when only EO or EC are applied. The optimal conditions for the two-stage electrochemical treatment process were 180 min of the optimized EO process as the 1st stage treatment process, followed by 60 min of the optimized EC process as the 2nd stage treatment process. After the optimized coagulation-EO-EC process, the total organic carbon (TOC), UV254, ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total nitrogen (TN), color (CN), turbidity (TUB), and solution conductivity (SC) removal efficiencies were 96.19%, 98.98%, 96.54%, 88.21%, 99.72%, 98.24%, and 54.67%, respectively. This study can provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of concentrated leachate from MSW incineration plants.

Abstract
Nowadays, sanitary landfilling is the most common approach to eliminate municipal solid waste, but a major drawback is the generation of heavily polluted leachates. These leachates must be appropriately treated before being discharged into the environment. Generally, the leachate characteristics such as COD, BOD/COD ratio, and landfill age are necessary determinants for selection of suitable treatment technologies. Rapid, sensitive and cost-effective bioassays are required to evaluate the toxicity of leachate before and after the treatment. This review summarizes extensive studies on leachate treatment methods and leachate toxicity assessment. It is found that individual biological or physical-chemical treatment is unable to meet strict effluent guidelines, whereas a combination of biological and physical-chemical treatments can achieve satisfactory removal efficiencies of both COD and ammonia nitrogen. In order to assess the toxic effects of leachate on different trophic organisms, we need to develop an appropriate matrix of bioassays based on their sensitivity to various toxicants and a multispecies approach using organisms representing different trophic levels. In this regard, a reduction in toxicity of the treated leachate will contribute to assessing the effectiveness of a specific remediation strategy.
