title: Nitrogen transformation in the hybrid bioreactor landfill.
abstract: The hybrid bioreactor landfill was promising in solid waste management. In the work, the nitrogen removal and nitrogen transformation in hybrid bioreactor landfill with sequencing of facultative anaerobic and aerobic conditions was explored. The result showed that the combination of facultative anaerobic and aerobic conditions in the hybrid bioreactor landfill was indeed effective in eliminating ammonia both from the leachate and the refuse thoroughly. About 72% of nitrogen was reduced from the landfilled fresh refuse through the operation of 357 days. At the end of the experiment, the concentrations of COD, ammonia, nitrate and TN in the leachate decreased to 399.2 mg l(-1), 20.6 mg N l(-1), 3.7 mg N l(-1) and 25.3 mg N l(-1), respectively.
