Physico-chemical removal of colour and iron from anaerobic landfill leachate by zeolite and limestone-Batch experiments

Leachate generated from one of the old landfills in Malaysia was characterized. Colour, and iron was found in significant amount. The ability of limestone, zeolite and their mixtures as filter media to attenuate colour and total iron from anaerobic leachate was investigated in this study. Influence...

The result show that the mixed media exhibited better technical and economical results for both parameters as compared with the use of the individual media. 2007-06 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf http://eprints.utp.edu.my/1559/1/Physico-chemical_removal_of_colour_and_iron_from_anaerobic_landfill_leachate_by_zeolite_and_limestone-Batch_experiments.pdf Foul, A.A. and Aziz, H.A. and Isa, M.H.
