Program on Treatment of the Landfill Leachate by Onland Planting Reed (Phragmites)

Abstract:

The microcosm tests were done to estimated the HRT (Hydraulic Retention Time) and removal efficiency of reflowing treatment of the landfill leachate collected from Dalian Maoyingzi Municipal Solid Waste Landfill, which contained high levels of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand, 38400 mg/L) and SS (Suspended Solids, 650 mg/L) by the reed constructed wetland located in the south area of Dalian Jiaotong University. The results showed that: (1) The HRT in nature soil cuboids were significant shorter than those in sieved soil cuboids (P<0.01); (2) The removal efficiency among the output water with the trend as follows: Preferential flow (53.9%)<Percolating water (59.2%)<Reflowing water (63.3%); (3) The COD and SS were decreased from 38400 and 650 mg/L to 14080 and 213 mg/L by the way of reflowing with the HSL (Hydraulic Surface Loading) of 0.16 m³/(m²·d) by reflowing (Removal efficiency: COD: 63.3%; SS: 67.3%).
