Combination of oxidation processes are one of the most promising humic acid treatment technologies. Single oxidant or even two oxidants in advance oxidation process can hardly achieve satisfactory removal efficiency of refractory organic matter, mainly humic acid, in the treatment process of reverse osmosis concentrates from landfill leachate. To solve this problem, this study investigated the synergistic degradation of Humic acid (HA) using a Cu and Co supported on carbon catalyst (CuCo/C) in a Hydrogen peroxide (HO) with ozone (O) system.

Results revealed that MBBR achieved faster biofilm formation (20 days vs. 100 days for BCO) with notable advantages: 27.

TAC-1, a heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) strain that utilizes poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) as a carbon source. Sodium acetate was employed as a control to assess the gene expression of carbon metabolic pathways in the TAC-1 strain.

Therefore, a combination of the ammonia stripping process (ASP), catalytic ozone oxidation process (COP), and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification process (HNADP) was proposed and the quality of effluent was evaluated for the concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH-N), and total nitrogen (TN). ASP had moderate removal efficiency of NH-N, and TN in the effluent.

Aggregate protection can potentially govern SOC mineralization and its Q. However, how tillage and aggregate sizes affect SOC mineralization and its Q, especially under varying soil moisture, remains unclear.
