A combined process of coagulation pretreatment and three-stage membrane aeration biofilm reactor (MABR) system was successfully applied for the first time to treat actual municipal solid waste leachate (MSWL), which was characterized by high concentrations of toxic hard-to-degrade organics and salinity. The results showed that 9.8%-21.

The effects of salinity and aeration pressure on the treatment efficiency, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) characteristics and microbial community structure were studied. The optimal removal efficiencies of COD, NH+ 4-N and TN reached to 62.

The effects of major operating parameters including the nitrate recycling ratio (), sludge recycling ratio (), and aerobic tank dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration on the system performance were investigated. The average removal efficiencies of the chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium nitrogen (NH -N), and total nitrogen (TN) were 89.

In this work, a three-stage membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) system was constructed to treat such wastewater without an external carbon source. The effects of operating conditions including aeration pressure, reflux ratio, temperature and hydraulic retention time on the removal performance of the integrated system were evaluated and optimized.
