Özet

Leachates from landfills are highly polluted with a considerable content of organic and

inorganic pollutants which pose severe deterioration to environment including soil, groundwater,

surface water and air. Several mitigative measures have been applied for effective management of

leachate such as biological treatment, engineering device control leachate migration, physical/chemical

treatment, and membrane technology. Among the alternatives, anaerobic digestion (AD) is

promising, with effective removal of pollutants and high potential for renewable energy production

and nutrient recovery. Landfill leachate (LFL) is an excellent source as a substrate in an AD system,

with its high content of organic matters. The advantages and disadvantages of AD of LFL were

extensively discussed in this review in terms of its potential as a co-substrate, pre-treatment application,

and the types and design parameters of the digester. The review critically evaluated the

previous studies on leachate treatment using an AD system as well as potential factors which can

enhance the treatment efficiency, including the application of an integrated system, additive substances

as well as potential inhibition factors. Pre-treatment methods have the potential to meet

desired effluent quality of LFL before discharging into receiving bodies. The review also highlighted

the application of kinetic modelling and machine learning practices, along with the potential of energy

generation in AD of LFL. Additionally, the review explored the various strategies, and recent

advances in the anaerobic treatment of LFL, which suggested that there is a requirement to further

improve the system, configuration and functioning as a precursor in selecting suitable integrated

LFL-treatment technology.
