[Research on the variation regularity of effluent from the leachate reverse osmosis concentrate recirculation]

To provide certain theoretical basis for selecting recirculation landfill scientifically and reasonably, the variation regularity of recirculation effluent from the landfill columns in three different years was studied. By using leachate reverse osmosis concentrate from a refuse landfill in Chengdu, the recirculation experiments were carried out in three landfill columns filled with garbage in 1, 5 and 15 landfill ages respectively. The variation regularity of pH, total organic carbon, ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and heavy metals of recirculation effluent was researched. It showed that the one-year landfill column with a favorable ability of removing nitrate nitrogen and degradation rate of nitrate nitrogen reaching above 88% was in the stage of producing methanation, but the concentration of organic matter and ammonia nitrogen of the effluent is higher and changes in the parameters mainly depend on the biological function. The five-year landfill column without typical features of mineralized refuse and with relatively poor adsorption capacity and biological effects, as well as removal capacity of organic matter, salinity, Cr and Ni approaches stabilization. The fifteen-year landfill column has high capability of adsorption, complexing, as well as organic matter, salinity, Cr and Ni removal, and the removal rate at the initial stage reaches 90%, 78%, 93% and 78%, respectively, but the recirculation process and progress need to be controlled when the rate approaches or reaches the adsorption capacity.
