Description
Elham Falahati Naghibi and co-authors compared three cleaners for old landfill liquid in a 2026 study. Such liquid is hard to treat: it carries high chemical demand, strong colour, and matter that breaks down poorly. The cleaners were burnt paper mill sludge, a clay, and a mix of the two.
Batch tests at set conditions found the burnt sludge best, removing nearly all colour and most chemical demand. The mix came second, and the clay last, despite its larger surface area. Surface traits and access to sites mattered more than area alone. The authors note high dose and heating costs as barriers to scale-up, and call for work on reuse.
