Although landfills represent repositories for cumulative loading of plastic waste derived from households and industrial sectors, often seen as sinks, the contribution these structures their leachates potential sources microplastics to natural environments remains poorly covered. Microplastics discharged sites may pose greater risks human environmental health by adsorbed toxic persistent hazard...

This experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of treatment of composting plant leachate by a coagulation-flocculation process. The effects of different dosages of coagulant and different pH values on the coagulation processes were compared. Ferric chloride and aluminium sulphate (alum) were tested as conventional coagulants. The experimental results show that a 18% removal of ...

The improper treatment of landfill leachates is one the major problems associated with waste landfilling and causes serious environmental pollution at sites their surroundings. To develop a suitable leachate system to minimize risk pollution, it important characterize seasonal temporal variations leachates. This study investigated quality Nam Son in Hanoi, Vietnam 2017–2019 characterized potent...

There is an ongoing need to treat leachates from landfills using approaches that avoid expensive installation and operating costs. Faced with such a problem, Powys County Council (Wales, UK) developed a treatment system based on practical experience. Leachate was re-circulated through aeration towers containing a biofilm supported on plastic media before being polished in reed/filter beds. Inve...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) incineration fly ash (IFA) can be potentially reused as a substitute for some raw materials, but treatment for detoxification is indispensable owing to high contents of heavy metals in fly ash. In the present work, due to excessive leaching concentration of lead (Pb), a moderate thermal treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) addition was employed to stabilize Pb in I...

landfill leachates are potential threats for environmental degradation. this study was conducted to determine the leachate quality, to identify the dominant pollutants and to evaluate the leachate pollution potential of an active and closed dumping ground of an uncontrolled municipal solid waste landfill site in kolkata, india using leachate pollution index. the results of the physico-chemical ...
