Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9857898A1] Leachates from sanitary landfills and waste water liquid in general are depurated and converted into clear water (19), ammonium sulphate (24) and polluted mud by gradually heating the liquid, raising its pH (5) to precipitate heavy metals (6), stripping ammonia (7), lowering the pH by treatment with CaCl2 (8), neutralising and precipitating further metals and impurities (14), and evaporating (17; 18; 15; 27) the water into steam that is condensed while gradually heating the incoming liquid.
