An Overview of Process and Technologies for Industrial Wastewater and Landfill Leachate Treatment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Water and Wastewater Management

Part of the book series: Water and Wastewater Management ((WWWE))

Abstract

Industrial development and high urbanization are responsible for several environmental problems, as the effluents generated cause disturbances to the ecosystems and risks to people's health due to the release of pollutants that are not properly treated. Based on the nature of wastewater, quantitative and qualitative aspects, different types of technologies or combinations of them are necessary and should be used before final disposal. Thus, to address the wastewater (industrial and landfill leachate) is fundamental to design a suitable treatment process. The combination of different processes and technologies in a general manner can provide advantages over a single technology or a single process itself. To ensure the safety, efficacy and quality of the treated wastewater, laboratory and pilot scale tests should be deeply explored in order to improve the performance of the process already applied at full scale or for the development of a new treatment system.
