Abstract The dewaterability of excess sludge significantly improved upon pretreatment with Fenton's reagent in this study. After 0.9 g/L of Fe2+ and 5.0 g/L of H2O2 were added to the sludge, and reacted for 2 h at pH = 4, the specific resistance to filtration (SRF) of the excess sludge decreased from an initial value of 29.74 × 1012 m/kg to 6.49 × 1012 m/kg. The factors that affected this improvement in sludge dewaterability as evaluated by SRF reduction showed the following order: H2O2 > pH > Fe2+ > reaction time. Furthermore, the hydrolysis performance of the sludge under the optimal reaction conditions was investigated. The results indicated that the concentration of soluble chemical oxygen demand in the supernatant increased almost 14 times compared to raw sludge, and the contents of soluble protein and soluble polysaccharide were more than 8 and 17 times higher, respectively, than for the untreated situation. However, the amounts of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and phosphate (PO43−-P) released from the sludge showed different trends: NH4+-N increased by 200%, while PO43−-P decreased by 82%. The production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from the treated sludge showed that total VFAs increased by 66%, and iso-butylacetic acid was the dominant product among the total VFAs.

Abstract Treatment of leachate from an exploited since 2004 landfill by using two methods of advanced oxidation processes was performed. Fenton’s reagent with two different doses of hydrogen peroxide and iron and UV/H2O2 process was applied. The removal efficiency of biochemically oxidizable organic compounds (BOD5), chemically oxidizable compounds using potassium dichromate (CODCr) and nutrient (nitrogen and phosphorus) was examined. Studies have shown that the greatest degree of organic compounds removal expressed as a BOD5 index and CODCr index were obtained when Fenton’s reagent with greater dose of hydrogen peroxide was used - efficiency was respectively 72.0% and 69.8%. Moreover, in this case there was observed an increase in the value of ratio of BOD5/CODCr in treated leachate in comparison with raw leachate. Application of Fenton’s reagent for leachate treatment also allowed for more effective removal of nutrients in comparison with the UV/H2O2 process.

Oxidations using Fenton's reagent have not been followed previously by redox titration. This procedure assists in defining the overall reaction and allows both an estimate of relative rates of oxidation and a measure of the consumption of peroxide by the organic substrate. The peroxide consumed in the complete oxidation of substrate to inactive compounds has been measured by titration at constant oxidation potential. Such measurements reflect the peroxide consumed by the substrate and its consecutive oxidation products and may therefore be used to assess the significance of oxidation pathways.
