A laboratory-scale, mass-balance study was carried out on the transformation of nitrogenous pollutants in four vertical flow wetland columns. Landfill leachate containing low organic matter, but a high concentration of ammoniacal-nitrogen, was treated under dissolved oxygen concentrations close to saturation. Influent total nitrogen (TN) comprised ammoniacal-nitrogen with less than 1% nitrate and nitrite, negligible organic nitrogen, and very low BOD. Nitrification occurred in three of the four columns. There was a substantial loss of total nitrogen (52%) in one column, whereas other columns exhibited zero to minor losses (<12%). Nitrogen loss under study conditions was unexpected. Two hypotheses are proposed to account for it: (1) either the loss of TN is attributed to nitrogen transformation into a form (provisionally termed α-nitrogen) that is undetectable by the analytical methods used; or (2) the loss is caused by microbial denitrification or deammonification. By elimination and stoichiometric mass balance calculations, completely autotrophic nitrogen-removal over nitrite (CANON) deammonification is confirmed as responsible for nitrogen loss in one column. This result reveals that CANON can be native to aerobic engineered wetland systems treating high ammonia, low organic content wastewater.

Landfill leachate generation is one of the main problems from sanitary landfill. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), and color are among the most problematic parameters in stabilized leachate. In this regard, dedicated treatment facilities are required before leachate can be discharged into the environment. The performance of the combined ozonation (O3) and zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl4) to treat two types of stabilized leachate was investigated during this study. Leachate samples were collected from an anaerobic stabilized leachate (Alor Pongsu Landfill Site, APLS) and semi-aerobic stabilized leachate (Pulau Burung Landfill Site, PBLS). Zirconium tetrachloride dosage was determined as 1 g/1 g (COD/ZrCl4 ratio) and then added to the leachate samples with 60 min ozonation at natural leachate pH (8). COD, color, and NH3-N were removed from the APLS sample at 33%, 70%, and 53% rates, respectively, whereas 48%, 75%, and 69%, respectively, from the PBLS samples. Ozone consumption was also calculated with the highest value (3.81 Kg O3/ Kg COD) reported in PBLS, whereas the lowest value (2.32 Kg O3/ Kg COD) was reported in APLS. Biodegradability of (BOD5/COD) was investigated and improved from 0.07 to 0.08 for the APLS samples and 0.05 to 0.11 for the PBLS samples after leachate oxidation. Results showed that the performance of O3/ZrCl4 oxidation is more efficient in treating semi-aerobic stabilized leachate than anaerobic stabilized leachate Moreover, the combined method proved to be more efficient in remediating leachate compared with ozone and zirconium treatment alone.
