Performance Evaluation of Leachate Treatment using Natural Adsorbents
Journal Title: International Journal of Civil, Structural, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Research and Development (IJCSEIERD) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 5
Abstract
The report deals with the evaluation of the performance of Land fill Leachate treatment using natural adsorbents. In organic and organic pollutants present in the Leachate may lead to many problems to the environment and to the nearby water bodies causing negative environmental impact. To overcome these problems, natural adsorbent materials are used. In order to find out the effective natural adsorbent for the treatment of landfill Leachate, two locally available low-cost adsorbents such as Coir Pith and Rice Husk were analyzed by using fixed bed Vertical column adsorption Studies. This study deals with the analysis of efficiency of the natural adsorbent materials over a certain period of contact time to remove the contaminants from the landfill Leachate. For this study, two vertical column reactors of same dimensions such as 10.5 cm Diameter and 1 m Length were fabricated providing the adsorbent depth of 90 cm from the bottom and the columns were packed with pre-treated neutralized Adsorbents Coir Pith and Rice Husk respectively in those columns. The semi-aerobic landfill leachate taken for this study were analyzed for its initial characteristics and noted. It was then allowed to downflow through the vertical column from the top at the flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. The treated outlet collected at the interval of 7 days from the outlet Nozzle provided at the bottom of the column and their characteristics were analyzed and compared with the initial.
