Effect of dilution and operating parameters on ammonia removal from scheduled waste landfill leachate in a lab-scale ammonia stripping reactor

A lab-scale ammonia stripping reactor was used to treat raw and diluted (1:1) scheduled waste landfill (SWL) leachate containing ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N). Operating parameters such as air-liquid ratio, hydrated lime [Ca(OH)2] dosage, types of packing materials and packing heights were investigated w...

It was observed that the optimal conditions obtained from desirable response (NH3-N removal) for raw leachate were predicted at air–liquid ratio of 70, Ca(OH)2 dosage of 5 gL-1, packing height of 60 cm and types of packing material was number 3 (nonwoven polyester) while for diluted leachate these were 70, 6 gL-1, 60 cm and Type 3 (nonwoven polyester), respectively.
