An investigation into the microbial clogging potential of selected filter media as a result of biodegradation of a high-strength sulphate-rich alkaline leachate.

Abstract:

:The research examines the potential for bio-clogging in filter packs containing fine sand of the type typically used in extraction wells for pumping leachates containing fine particulate matter, such as cement kiln dust (CKD). Three filter media with different particle sizes were used: 1.7-4.75, 0.35-1.0, and 0.235-0.45 mm. Each sand filter was tested using a leachate recirculating column reactor with a free drainage layer, on top of which was placed the filtration medium which was kept saturated and at a positive hydrostatic head by a 2-l reservoir of leachate. The leachate was collected from a landfill site that had been used for the co-disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) and CKD. The leachate used was filtered by passing through a Whatman GFA filter paper before being added to the reactors in order to eliminate as far as possible the non-biological clogging which might have resulted from the introduction of particulate matter in the form of CKD. The filters and a control experiment were run under anaerobic conditions at 35 degrees C. The bio-clogging potential was observed by taking differential manometer readings from manometers located in the drainage and reservoir sections of the reactor. No clogging was detected using the coarser of the filter media, but there was some clogging when a finer filter medium was used. Head space gas analysis indicated that methanogenic activity was inhibited and analysis of the liquid phase indicated that the microbial process responsible for removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) was principally one of sulphate reduction.
