Abstract
PCBs removal in the aged leachate by a new combination process based on an innovative biofilm reactor with natural fiber media, combined coagulation with a two-staged sequencing batch biofilm reactor with Luffa Sponges (LS) as the biomass carriers (LS-SBBR), was studied in this paper. The results indicated that the total PCBs removal in the aged leachate was 51.97%, and the PCBs removals are mainly achieved by the removal of trichlorobiphenyls, the PCBs contents in sludge in the two-staged LS-SBBR were consistent with the conclusion that the PCBs removal in liquid phase of the second LS-SBBR was higher than that of the first LS-SBBR.
