Abstract

A system was studied and developed for the treatment of a high-strength sanitary landfill leachate, which mainly consisted of (a) an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket/anaerobic filter (UASB-AF) hybrid anaerobic reactor, (b) an air stripper for NH3 removal, and (c) an anoxic zone/aerobic zone (A/O) submerged biofilm aeration basin. These three units were used to treat high-strength leachate, with high removal efficiencies for COD, BOD5, and NH4/+-N. The research results have already been applied in the design of the treatment station of sanitary landfill leachate at Xiaping Sanitary Landfill, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, China. The system is also available for the treatment of other kinds of organic waste water.
