TL;DR: This study presents a configuration for the complete treatment of landfill leachate with high organic and ammonium concentrations, and reverse osmosis provided high quality effluent by reducing the effluent COD from MBR to less than 4.0mg/l at SRT of 30 days.

TL;DR: The use of wastewater in small communities depends on a series of factors, such as community size, socio-economic aspects, relative location to other communities, and land availability for effluent reuse.

TL;DR: In this paper, six different techniques were applied on the same textile wastewater to evaluate the most effective in terms of treatment efficiency and the three most important textile wastewater quality parameters of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and color were made the basis of the comparison of different treatment techniques.
Abstract: Toxic organic dye removal from the textile wastewater is a serious concern. It is difficult to choose a single or a combination of treatment techniques between various available options; each with certain advantages and drawbacks. Six different techniques were applied on the same textile wastewater to evaluate the most effective in terms of treatment efficiency. The three most important textile wastewater quality parameters of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and color were made the basis of the comparison of different treatment techniques. Other critical parameters such as treatment time, ease of operation and chemical cost employed were also considered. No single biological or physico-chemical treatment technique was found capable of removing up to 80% of the influent COD, TSS and color simultaneously from the textile wastewater. The conventional activated sludge (CAS) treatment followed by effluent polishing with the sand filtration (SF) and activated carbon adsorption columns was proved to be the most promising with COD, TSS and color removal efficiencies of 81.6%, 88.5% and 94.5% respectively. Moreover this combination of techniques enjoys lower chemical cost, medium operation time and fewer difficulties in the process control. Hence, the combination is recommended for the treatment of the textile effluents.
