1.1.4. Landfill Leachates

Landfill leachates are extremely contaminated landfill wastes comprising four main classes of contaminants with a diverse composition: dissolved organic and inorganic biocomponents, heavy metals, and organic xenobiotic compounds [20]. Habermann and Pommer initially documented the usage of landfill effluent in a biofuel cell for removal of COD, but no current output values were listed [21].
