Landfill Leachate Treatment Techniques

This book is a ready reckoner of recent information regarding the impact of leachate landfills, leachate treatment, and heavy metals on a single platform. The amount of waste is constantly growing due to population growth and the evolution of socioeconomic activities. Burying this waste produces leachate, a contaminated effluent created during the decomposition of organic waste and containing harmful substances like heavy metals, polyphenols, volatile organic compounds, and microorganisms. These effluents emit unpleasant odors associated with ammonium ions. These discharges significantly impact the environment. As a result, the master's and doctoral academics, researchers, and students will be able to comprehend the most recent developments in municipal solid waste landfill operations, supporting their research.

This book inspires readers on how to deal with environmental pollution problems due to leachate contamination in freshwater and agricultural soils using a variety of technologies.

Landfill Leachate in general.- Leachate treatment.

Dr. Abdelkader Anouzla received his Ph.D. in Science & Technology at Hassan II University -Faculty of Science and Technology Mohammedia, specializing in water treatment. Dr. Abdelkader ANOUZLA has published almost 83 peer-reviewed articles and Seven books. As well as being a guest speaker at several conferences, he has also published numerous proceedings. He has experience in water and wastewater, solid waste management, environmental chemistry, pollutants in soil, study and characterization of waste, recycling, and reuse of waste to produce new materials, and air pollution. Anouzla conducts research in the areas of water and waste treatment, wastewater treatment plant operation, leachate discharge treatment, solid waste sorting, technical landfill management, and composting of solid waste and sludge from wastewater treatment plants, the Algae as a Natural Solution for Water-Food-Energy nexus and Microplastic pollution in the environment, digitalization in the water sector, Saving water in business and irrigation, nitrogen pollution.
