Nitrification-related factors involved in the biochemical oxygen demand of leachate from inert-waste landfill site

The 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) is an organic matter indicator used for the maintenance management of inert-waste landfill sites. Previously, we indicated that oxygen consumption derived from the nitrification reaction (N-BOD5) might have a non-negligible contribution to BOD5 in leachate. In this study, we investigated changes over time of organic matter indicators in leachate of an inert-waste landfill site, and searched for factors...
