BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF SIMULATED LANDFILL LEACHATE CONTAINING CHLORDANE.

Abstract

There presently exists a myriad of hazardous waste streams from industrial sources and landfill sites which require treatment for the removal of hazardous materials present. In an attempt to effectively and economically treat these hazardous waste streams, the investigation of innovative treatment alternatives is essential. One such innovative treatment process is the activated rotating biological contactor (ARBC), a rotating biological contractor followed by an aeration basin and final clarifier with sludge recycle from the clarifier to the fixed film media. The more widely known rotating biological contactor (RBC) has established itself as a domestic wastewater treatment process and research has shown it to be applicable with hazardous waste streams. However, the need exists to further investigate the operating characteristics of the activated rotating biological system and its ability to effectively treat hazardous waste streams.
