Full-scale results during two years operation in a controlled activated sludge system withnitrogen removal show that nitrification can be managed around the year, even long periods atlow temperature ( 4 - 5 °C), which is a new feature in landfill leachate management. The totalnitrogen removal was 46 - 57 % as annual averages and was limited seasonally by the lowcarbon content of leachate, Addition of external carbon was also tested. The removal ofheavy metals was reasonable (45 - 90 %), but organohalogen compounds was removed onlypartially (around 20 %). The biological step suits for the first phase of local treatment andrather low costs can be achieved. If more stringent effluent standards are required, a posttreatment system can be added - some of the most suitable alternatives and their costs arediscussed. From environmental point of view more comprehensive alternatives should beconsidered, which means the integration of processes inside the landfill body to the wholetreatment system.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the socio -political terminology of the modern Chinese language.The purpose of the article is to search for an integrated approach to the study of the cognitive side of social and political terms of the Chinese language from the point of view of law enforcement in the process of translating official materials from Chinese into Uzbek and / or Russian and vice versa

Sanitary landfill leachate (LL) composition varies according to climate variables variation, solid waste characteristics and composition, and landfill age. Leachate treatment is essentially carried out trough biological and physicochemical processes, which have showed variability in efficiency and appear a costly solution for the management authorities. Electrocoagulation (EC) seems a suitable solution for leachate treatment taking into account the characteristics of the liquor. One of the problems of EC is the electrode passivation, which affects the longevity of the process. One solution to this problem could be the replacement of the electrode by one made of recyclable material, which would make it possible to change it frequently and at a lower cost. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the removal of heavy metals (As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, Se and Zn) and coliforms from a LL by EC using electrodes made from steel swarf (SfE) up to 8 h. Removal efficiencies of detected heavy metals were 51%(Cr), 59%(As), 71%(Cd), 72%(Zn), 92%(Ba), 95%(Ni) and >99%(Pb). The microbial load of coliforms in leachate was reduced from 10.76 × 104 CFU/mL (raw leachate) to less than 1 CFU/mL (after treatment with SfE) (i.e., approximately 100% reduction). The use of SfE in EC of LL is very effective in removing heavy metals and coliforms and can be used as alternative treatment solution for such effluents.

The improper treatment of landfill leachates is one of the major problems associated with waste landfilling and causes serious environmental pollution at waste landfill sites and their surroundings. To develop a suitable landfill leachate treatment system and to minimize the risk of environmental pollution, it is important to characterize seasonal and temporal variations of landfill leachates. This study investigated the leachate quality of the Nam Son waste landfill in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2017–2019 and characterized the potential risks of landfill leachate using a leachate pollution index (LPI). The results of this study showed that the seasonal and temporal variation of the overall LPI during the monitoring period was small and in the range of 20–25 (values 2.5 times higher than the maximum permissible limits of Vietnam National Technical Regulation on Industrial Wastewater). The LPI sub-indices attributed to organic and inorganic pollutants were major components of the LPI. Especially, the annually averaged values of LPI of inorganic pollutants were 7.7 times higher than the maximum permissible limits, suggesting that the treatment of inorganic pollutants, such as ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+–N) and total nitrogen (TN), is highly required at Nam Son landfill to prevent environmental pollution surrounding the landfill site.
