Study on Electrocoagulation-Oxidation of MSW Leachate Treatment

Leachate is highly polluted liquid due to high content of ammonium ions and organic compounds. The high ammonia content causes the problem when leachate move downwards from landfill into ground-water table as a result of infiltrated precipitation, ground-water gets contaminated. Once groundwater is contaminated it is very costly to clean-up. The treatment technologies used for the treatment of leachate change from site to site and landfill to landfill due to characteristics change of the leachate. IN this present book a brief review of the methods and technologies used for municipal solid waste & lechate Management are discussed and further the results achieved by a combined electrocoagulation-oxidation of leachate sample is presented.
