Landfill Leachate Treatment Using Nano Composite Adsorbent

Adsorption via activated carbon (AC) is one of the best methods to treat stabilized landfill leachate. However, this technique required high cost and limited resource of AC precursor. Thus, aim of this research is to develop new composite media which could reduce the cost yet effectively remove the...
