Comparative Study on Advanced Nitrogen Removal of Landfill Leachate Treated by SBR and SBBR

In order to achieve advanced nitrogen removal from landfill leachate without the addition of external carbon sources, a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) and a Sequencing Biofilm Batch Reactor (SBBR) were proposed for the treatment of actual landfill leachate with ammonia nitrogen (<inline-formula&g...
