Application of Sodium Acetate Carbon Source in Leachate Denitrification

Landfill leachate has low carbon-nitrogen ratio and high ammonia; the terminal often needs deep denitrification. Adding sodium acetate in the denitrification unit after MBR or NF/RO supplements carbon source and improves TN removal.

Its small-molecule usability suits leachate's high-salt, high-ammonia environment, making it a common external carbon source for leachate treatment plants; dosage should follow leachate quality and bench tests.
