pH Control Windows for Anammox-Based Nitrogen Removal in Leachate: A Shanghai ChiMay Technical Note
Why Anammox Won the Leachate Nitrogen Removal Debate Landfill leachate arriving at biological treatment often contains 1,000 to 3,500 mg/L of ammonia nitrogen. Conventional nitrification-denitrification requires roughly 4.57 kg O2 per kg NH3-N removed, which for a 5,000 gallon-per-day plant means significant aeration cost and secondary carbon source demand. Anammox chemistry short-circuits the pathway: ammonia…
