B. Morawe et al., ACTIVATED CARBON COLUMN PERFORMANCE STUDIES OF BIOLOGICALLY TREATED LANDFILL LEACHATE, Chemical engineering and processing, 34(3), 1995, pp. 299-303
In adsorption studies with a biologically pretreated landfill leachate
using two activated carbon columns, the concentration of the non-biod
egradable organic and chlorinated organic compounds, as well as the co
lour, could be reduced to an acceptable level. The results show a comp
lex interaction of adsorption and desorption between the lower and hig
her molecular weight components of the leachate.
