Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Landfill leachate, a kind of complicated wastewater generated from the decomposition of the landfill sites, is the main pollution source of the surrounding environment including soil and groundwater. The safe and environment-friendly treatment of landfill leachate has become an urgent issue. Currently, various methods are developed for landfill leachate pollution control and some successful case or project are reported. However, it still faces challenges in terms of the refractory and emerging pollutants in landfill leachate.

This Special Issue is designed to highlight the recent research progress on landfill leachate pollution control. Scientists are invited to submit their original research and review articles to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The release of siloxane from landfill leachate has attracted wide attention. In this study, dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) and dodecamethylpentasiloxane (L5) were chosen as the target pollutants to investigate the adsorption characteristics of cyclosiloxane and linear siloxane on municipal solid waste (MSW) under the landfill circumstance. The adsorption behavior could be well described by the Langmuir–Freundlich model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 0.677 μg g−1 and 15.864 μg g−1 for L5 and D6, respectively. It seems that D6 has a stronger affinity to MSW compared with L5. The maximum adsorption was observed when the pH was 5.0 and 5.5 for D6 and L5. The optical temperature was 30 °C. The organic acid and inorganic ions in the leachate could restrict the adsorption to a low level. The results suggested that the adsorption of siloxane on MSW could be limited at the methanogenic and mature stages, which may promote the distribution of siloxane in the leachate. The results could help to understand the release behavior of siloxane from landfill leachate during the running of a landfill. Full article
