This chapter illustrates the municipal solid waste landfillâs characteristics and discharge standard, its pollution problems and environmental impacts, and its typical applied solution technologies. The applied treatment technologies are discussed based on two main catalogues of conventional and advanced technologies. The conventional technologies include: (i) physico-chemical (coagulation-flocculation, chemical precipitation, activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange, membrane filtration, chemical oxidation etc.); (ii) biological (aerobic or anaerobic conditions, suspended-growth or attached-growth conditions, and fixed-bed or moving-bed conditions). The advanced technologies are introduced to three integration groups of (i) physicochemical, (ii) multi-biological, and (iii) physicochemical-biological processes.
