Temporal variation of leachate quality from pre-sorted and baled municipal solid waste with high organic and moisture content.
TLDR
The results indicated that: (1) pre-sorting and baling of the waste did not hinder waste stabilization; and (2) the high organic and moisture contents resulted in an extremely strong leachates, particularly at the onset of biodegradation processes, which can affect the leachate treatment facility.About:

The effect of landfill age on municipal leachate composition.
Dorota Kulikowska,Ewa Klimiuk +1 more
TL;DR: The obtained data indicate that despite of short landfill's lifetime some parameters e.g. high pH, low COD concentration, low BOD(5)/COD ratio and low heavy metal concentration indicated that the landfill was characterized by methanogenic conditions already at the beginning of the monitoring period.

An overview of landfill leachate treatment via activated carbon adsorption process
K.Y. Foo,B.H. Hameed +1 more
TL;DR: A state of art review of leachate treatment technologies, its fundamental background studies, and environmental implications confirms that the expanding of activated carbons adsorption represents a potentially viable and powerful tool, leading to the superior improvement of environmental conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of advanced oxidation processes to improve the biodegradability of mature landfill leachates.
TL;DR: The biodegradability was significantly improved, which allowed an almost total removal of COD and color by a sequential activated sludge process, and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) has showed a substantial agreement on the cleavage of large organic compound into smaller ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advances in municipal landfill leachate: A review focusing on its characteristics, treatment, and toxicity assessment.
TL;DR: 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.

Performances of anaerobic co-digestion of fruit & vegetable waste (FVW) and food waste (FW): Single-phase vs. two-phase
Fei Shen,Fei Shen,Hairong Yuan,Yunzhi Pang,Shulin Chen,Baoning Zhu,Dexun Zou,Yanping Liu,Jingwei Ma,Liang Yu,Xiujin Li +10 more
TL;DR: Comparison of these two systems with bioenergy recovery revealed that two-phase system overall presented higher bioenergy yield than single-phase, and more stable operation, and higher OLR treatment capacity.
