Landfill Leachate and Coagulants Addition Effects on Membrane Bioreactor Mixed Liquor: Filterability, Fouling, and Pollutant Removal [PDF]
MembranesUrban wastewater (UWW) and landfill leachate (LL) co-treatment using membrane bioreactors (MBRs) is a valuable method for managing LL in cities. Coagulants can enhance the filterability of mixed liquor (ML), but the assessment of fouling is still needed.
