TLDR
In this paper, an experimental study describing the treatment of landfill leachate by means of a pilot-scale reverse osmosis unit was conducted. But the results showed that the rejection coefficient of COD was practically independent of the COD value, but was significantly affected by the applied pressure.

Landfill leachate treatment: Review and opportunity

TL;DR: Today, the use of membrane technologies, more especially reverse osmosis (RO), either as a main step in a landfill leachate treatment chain or as single post-treatment step has shown to be an indispensable means of achieving purification.

Pharmaceuticals, Personal Care Products, and Endocrine Disruptors in Water: Implications for the Water Industry

TL;DR: For over 70 years, scientists have reported that certain synthetic and natural compounds could mimic natural hormones in the endocrine systems of animals and have been linked to a variety of adverse effects in both humans and wildlife as discussed by the authors.

Physico-chemical treatments for removal of recalcitrant contaminants from landfill leachate.

TL;DR: None of the individual physico-chemical techniques is universally applicable or highly effective for the removal of recalcitrant compounds from stabilized leachate, but adsorption, membrane filtration and chemical precipitation are the most frequently applied and studied worldwide.

Removal of contaminants of emerging concern by membranes in water and wastewater: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes comprehensive recent studies on the removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) by forward osmosis (FO), reverse Osmosis(RO), nanofiltration (NF), and ultrafiltration (UF) membrane treatments, and describes important information on the applications of FO, RO, NF, and UF membranes in water and wastewater (WW) treatment.

Statistical optimization of process parameters for landfill leachate treatment using electro-Fenton technique.

TL;DR: Effectiveness of important process parameters H(2)O(2)/Fe(2+) molar ratio, current density, pH and reaction time were determined, optimized and modeled successfully and indicate that E-Fenton process was an effective technology for semi-aerobic landfill leachate treatment.

Leachate Minimization by Reverse Osmosis

TL;DR: In this paper, an untreated leachate flow is concentrated thirteen times by tubular type reverse osmosis and the particle-free permeate meets the effluent requirements for direct discharge to virtually any watercourse.

Mécanismes de transfert en osmose inverse

Abstract: The mechanism of mass transfer and the membrane selectivity of reverse osmosis are discussed by the solubilisation-diffusion model. Factors affecting in one hand both solvent and solute rate permeation and in the other hand the membrane's selectivity are developed. The difference between reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration is due to the fact that in ultrafiltration the separation is controled by the size of pores (steric mechanism) since in reverse osmosis the solubilisation-diffusion through the membrane is the controling one. Some basic considerations about nanofiltration (or reverse osmosis at low pressure) are considred besides Le mecanisme du transfert de matiere et la selectivite membranaire sont differents lorsque l'on passe de l'ultrafiltration a l'osmose inverse. Il y a exclusion sterique, par la taille des pores de la membrane en ultrafiltration, alors qu'en osmose inverse c'est la solvatation des solutes dans la membrane qui intervient majoritairement. On fait le point sur les mecanismes de transfert en osmose inverse et on developpe tout particulierement le modele du transfert par solubilisation-diffusion en mettant l'accent sur l'importance des coefficients de partage sur la selectivite globale de la separation
