Von der hinteren Coverseite

Explores the physical, chemical, and biological factors that produce leachate and technological solutions for its control

• Provides quantity and quality prediction models, and properties of effluent concentrated leachate liquid.
• Physical and chemical treatment processes for leachate are provided including: ammonia nitrogen removal using struvite precipitation, crystal variation and microstructure of the struvite etc.
• Covers Leachate treatment engineering processes for design and construction of treatment plants

The composition and components in leachate are very complex, depending on the sources, locations, and climate. Pollution Control Technology for Leachate From Municipal Solid Waste discusses the different types of leachates and provides the technologies and methods currently available for its control and removal. In this book the author provides regional and world-wide cases descriptions to illustrate novel solutions. The author explores the physical, chemical, and biological changes which produce leachate in landfills, incineration plants, composting plants, and transfer stations. The book explains the physical and chemical treatment processes for leachate including ammonia nitrogen removal using struvite precipitation, and crystal variation to name a few.

Pollution Control Technology for Leachate From Municipal Solid Waste introduces integrated and pre-treatment leachate treatment processes which are necessary to deal with the variations of pollutants in leachate. Real world case-studies are provided to illustrate these treatment processes as well as leachate treatment engineering processes design and construction of municipal solid waste incinerator power plants.
