Landfill leachates

1 - 2 of 2 results

Landfill leachates (LFL) collected from Djebel Chekir are highly loaded with COD ranging from 4.5 to 45 g l–1, ammonia ranging from 0.64 to 4.99 g l–1 and salts (14–32 mScm–1). They also contain high concentrations of phenols and hydrocarbons. Consequently, LFL exhibit high toxicity since they compl

Jebel Chekir landfill leachate (Tunisia) treatment was carried out using an aerobic pilot unit with three immersed and fixed biofilms reactors. A preliminary analyses indicate a high biodegradable fraction in the leachate (BOD5 / COD = 0.4), which implies that biological treatment process can be app
