Various treatment processes were evaluated for their applicability and effectiveness in treating leachate from hazardous waste land-disposal facilities. These technologies include activated sludge treatment, air stripping, carbon adsorption, flow equalization, granular media filtration, ion exchange, neutralization, oxidation/reduction, powdered activated carbon treatment, precipitation/flocculation, reverse osmosis, rotating biological contactor, sedimentation, sequencing batch reactor, steam stripping, trickling filter, ultrafiltration, and wet-air oxidation. Information is also given on the formation and composition of leachate, treatability of leachate constituents, and treatment process train selection.
