Landfill leachate is commonly heavily contaminated and consists of high amount of organic compounds, inorganic salts, toxic gases, halogenated hydrocarbons, and heavy metals that exerts a serious threat to public health and the environment. Thus, it requires treatments before direct release into receiving waters. Selecting the efficient method for leachate treatment is still a major challenge. While physicochemical treatment methods such as coagulation-flocculation, adsorption, membrane filtration, ozonation, air stripping, and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) are appropriate for mature leachate, young leachate requires biological treatments including membrane bioreactor (MBR), activated sludge (AS), upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), and rotational biological contactor (RBC). Recently, the integration of biological processes and physicochemical methods has been demonstrated to be very efficient. It is found that combined coagulation-flocculation/nanofiltration and activated sludge/reverse osmosis are more efficacious than other integrated physicochemical methods and combined physicochemical/biological methods, respectively.
