The phrase "a leachate" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to environmental science, waste management, or discussions about landfill processes, where leachate refers to the liquid that has percolated through waste material.
Example: "The study focused on the effects of a leachate on local groundwater quality."
Alternatives: "a leachate solution" or "a leachate liquid".
It is far better, environmentalists say, that the ash should go somewhere like Arrowhead, a dry storage site dug into a nearly impermeable bed known as the Selma chalk, some 600 feet above the water table, lined with clay and polymer and equipped with a leachate collection system to suck up any water that filters through the ash and dislodges contaminants.
H2O2 content in the leaf discs increased in a leachate concentration-dependent manner (Figure 3).
Principally, a functional landfill site is always occupied with a leachate treatment facility to treat hazardous pollutants in the leachate.
Benzyl succinic acid (BSA) was for the first time identified in a leachate plume as a direct indicator, and as the only intermediate of toluene degradation.
Overall, 24 h and 48 h leachates both decreased the levels of TTC reduction by the leaf discs in a leachate concentration-dependent manner.
It also enables leachate to be stored within the body of the landfill, for example to help minimise temporal variations in the load on a leachate treatment plant.
Water samples were collected monthly at closely spaced intervals in the top 2 m of the saturated zone from a leachate-contaminated well and an uncontaminated well, and analyzed for δ18O, δ2H, non-volatile dissolved organic carbon (NVDOC), SO42−, NO3− and Cl−.
A solar photo-Fenton process, without iron addition, is proposed for the decontamination of a landfill leachate in a pilot plant with CPCs, after a preliminary pre-treatment in aerated and non-aerated lagoons.
The BOD5/COD ratio is equal to 0.58 ± 0.01, revealing that it is a young leachate with a very important biodegradability.
A hazardous leachate from an industrial landfill site is stored in lined dams.
In contrast, woodchip treatment had a reduced leachate pH and a strong resilience in leachate salinity (and thus major saline ions).
