Assessing membrane performance for landfill leachate treatment in accordance with local regulatory requirements by Tan, Yean Keat, Lau, Woei Jye, Mohd. Nawi, Nadiene Salleha, Roslan, Rosyiela Azwa, Ng, Pang Soon

“…In this work, we carried out a comprehensive assessment of the quality of leachate treated by four different types of commercial polymeric membranes according to the local environmental quality regulations. Our findings revealed that although the microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were able to exhibit significantly higher water permeability compared to the reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes during leachate treatment, the properties of the treated landfill leachate in terms of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), color and ammoniacal nitrogen (AN) is far below the water treated by the NF/RO membranes. …”
