Treatment technology for leachate from faecal sludge drying beds

Abstract

The use of planted drying beds for faecal sludge treatment is effective for solid-liquid separation, but the leachate produced requires further treatment prior to discharge or reuse. This study investigates the potential of a new and low-cost solution for leachate treatment.
