Özet
Biological treatment of landfill leachate usually results in low COD removals because of high chemical oxygen demand (COD), high ammonium-N content and presence of toxic compounds. Coagulation-flocculation with lime addition and air stripping of ammonia were used as pre-treatment in this study in order to improve biological treatability of the leachate. Pre-treated leachate was subjected to adsorbent supplemented biological treatment in an aeration tank operated in fed-batch mode. COD and NH4-N removal performances of powdered activated carbon (PAC) and powdered zeolite (PZ) were compared during biological treatment. Adsorbent concentrations varied between 0 and 5 g l(-1). Percent COD and ammonium-N removals increased with increasing adsorbent concentrations. Percent COD removals with PAC addition were significantly higher than those obtained with the zeolite. However, zeolite performed better than the PAC in ammonium-N removal from the leachate. Nearly 87% and 77% COD removals were achieved with PAC and zeolite concentrations of 2 g l(-1), respectively. Ammonium-N removals were 30% and 40% with PAC and zeolite concentrations of 5 g l(-1), respectively at the end of 30 h of fed-batch operation. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
