All around the world, activated sludge is the classical and traditional biological wastewater treatment for municipal and industrial wastewater. With the development of social and technology, the concentration of pollutants has been increased, so the performance of the old wastewater treatment plants not guaranteed. Therefore, upgrade and reconstruction wastewater treatment system becomes the main task of protection environment, especially in the developing countries. Application biofilms in process biological wastewater treatment is one of technology method and it has many advantages. In the Sequencing Batch Reactor, the Mutag BioChip 25TM provides to the bacteria an optimal habitat at the surface area, increasing rate of Utilization of Substrates 20 – 30% and efficiency of organic matter removal from 10 – 15%.

Abstract Landfill leachate was treated using non-powdered activated carbon sequencing batch reactor (NPAC-SBR) and powdered activated carbon (PAC) augmented SBR (PAC-SBR) processesto examine Langmuir and Freundlichadsorption isothermsin the SBR technique.Response surface methodology (RSM) was used for the experimental design and statistical analysis.Based on the obtained results, the maximum adsorption capacitiesof ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), color, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) for the Langmuir adsorption isotherm were 5.63 mg/g, 25.30 Pt.Co/g, and 13.21 mg/g,respectively, whereas for the Freundlichadsorption isotherm, thesewere 6 mg/g, 46.29Pt.Co/g, and 15.41 mg/g, respectively.Generally, Freundlich isotherm values for NH3-N, color, and COD were higher than Langmuir isotherm values.The NH3-N adsorption on PAC was lower than the color and COD adsorptions because a great part of NH3-Nwas biologically removed in the SBR process.Increasing aeration rate and contact times in the SBR processes increased the adsorption isotherms of NH3-N, color, and COD on PAC
