Performance and Bacterial Community Diversity of a Full-Scale Biofilter Treat…

Abstract Odors, such as the malodorous and toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S), are released during leachate collection, storage, and treatment. A full-scale biofilter was applied to treat H2S emitted from a leachate equalization basin in a sanitary landfill site. The inlet concentration of H2S was 26.3–213.0 mg m−3. In steady state, total removal efficiency was over 90 % in summer and over 8…
