Abstract

Landfill leachate has the characteristics of high ammonia nitrogen content, high concentration of organic matter and low carbon nitrogen ratio. Traditional biological treatment technology is difficult to meet the increasingly stringent emission standards. Ammonia nitrogen is the main pollutant in landfill leachate. The ammonia-nitrogen-rich leachate not only poses a threat to the surrounding environment, but also has adverse effects on the subsequent biological treatment of leachate. Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) is a new biological denitrification technology, which has the advantages of high denitrification capacity and low energy consumption, and is suitable for the treatment of landfill leachate. This article from the process type, inhibiting factors and microbiology at home and abroad are reviewed in three aspects: the anaerobic ammonia oxidation treatment, the research progress of landfill leachate by analyzing the national environmental protection agency of leachate quality related data in the database, and combining previous research results, reveals the infiltration drain liquid ammonia nitrogen in the different conditions of concentration variation characteristics, for anaerobic ammonia oxidation treatment of landfill leachate to provide the reference for engineering applications.
