Membrane filtration processes have been used to treat landfill leachate. On the other hand, closing the leachate treatment loop and finding a final destination for landfill leachate membrane concentrate (LLMC) - residual stream of membrane systems - is challenging for landfill operators. The re-introduction of LLMC into the landfill is typical; however, this approach is critical as concentrate pollutants may accumulate in the leachate treatment facility. From that, leachate concentrate management based on resource recovery rather than conventional treatment and disposal is recommended. This work comprehensively reviews the state-of-the-art of current research on LLMC management from leachate treatment plants towards a resource recovery approach. A general recovery train based on the main LLMC characteristics for implementing the best recovery scheme is presented in this context. LLMCs could be handled by producing clean water and add-value materials. This paper offers critical insights into LLMC management and highlights future research trends.
膜过滤工艺已被用于处理垃圾渗滤液。另一方面,对于垃圾填埋场运营者来说,封闭渗滤液处理回路并为垃圾渗滤液膜浓缩物(LLMC)——膜系统的残余物——找到最终归宿极具挑战性。将 LLMC 重新引入垃圾填埋场是常见的做法;然而,这种方法至关重要,因为浓缩物中的污染物可能会在渗滤液处理设施中积累。因此,建议基于资源回收而不是传统的处理和处置来管理渗滤液浓缩物。这项工作全面回顾了当前关于从垃圾渗滤液处理厂向资源回收方法管理 LLMC 的研究现状。在此背景下,提出了一个基于 LLMC 主要特性的通用回收方案,用于实施最佳回收方案。可以通过生产清洁水和增值材料来处理 LLMC。本文对 LLMC 管理提出了重要的见解,并强调了未来的研究趋势。
