Pretreatment of Sanitary Landfill Leachate with a Natural Polymer Moringa Oleifera (Kacang Kelor) Seeds Extract and Hollow Fibre Microfiltration Membrane

TL;DRAbstract

Due to population growing affluence, the fast development in industrial sector and improved standard of living, a huge volume of solid waste is being produced. The disposal of this numerous quantity of material in a sanitary landfill conveys with it an inherent potential for pollution of indigenous water resources. A major environmental impact resulting from the disposal of solid waste into a sanitary landfill occurs when water either from rainfall or groundwater passing through the refuse accumulates various contaminants including dissolved organic and inorganic components and decomposition products. This percolated liquid is called 'Leachate'. It is considered very harmful and toxic. Biological treatment is the most common system used to handle the leachate before discharge to water sources. Presence of toxic heavy metal in the leachate limit the activity of microorganisms, resulting in the decrease of the efficiency of the biological treatment to produce high effluent quality tha
