RO & UF Membranes: Market Opportunities in Landfill Leachate?

The article reports on the technological developments in the purification and treatment of drinking water and wastewater. It focuses on the processing of leachate, which is the aqueous effluent that is produced due to rainwater percolation through wastes, biochemical processes in waste cells, and the inherent water content of the wastes. It cites the main membrane processes used in landfill leachates treatment, including microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO).
