AI-generated Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of a composite adsorbent in removing ammoniacal nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from semi-aerobic landfill leachate through fixed bed column adsorption. Key findings highlight the composite adsorbent's superior performance over traditional activated carbon, showcasing its potential as a cost-effective solution for leachate treatment. Adsorption characteristics were analyzed using isotherm models, revealing significant adsorption capacity and efficiency for both ammoniacal nitrogen and COD.
