Simultaneous implementation for landfill leachate treatment and desulfurization and decarbonization of landfill gas purification by NIE Wenbo, CHEN Yi*

“…To investigate the efficiency and mechanism of treating landfill leachate by two-stage membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) in cooperation with desulfurization and decarbonization of landfill gas, we sequentially examined the removal efficiency of organic matter and nitrogen pollutants, as well as the conversion characteristics of H2S, CO2, and CH4 in landfill gas during the operation of pre-short-range nitrification MBfR and post - MBfR. After 280 days of operation, experimental results demonstrated that the reaction system successfully achieved high-efficiency desulfurization and decarburization for advanced treatment of leachate along with upgrading landfill gas. …”
