Abstract In this work, landfill leachate treatment by electrocoagulation process with a novel rotating anode reactor was studied. The influence of rotating anode speed on the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) of raw landfill leachate was investigated. The influence of operating parameters like leachate pH, leachate temperature, current, and inter-distance between the cathode rings and anode impellers on the electrocoagulation performance were also investigated. The results revealed the optimum rotating speed is 150 rpm and increasing the rotating speed above this value led to reducing process performance. The leachate electrocoagulation treatment process favors the neutral medium and the treatment performance increases with increasing current intensity. Furthermore, the electrocoagulation treatment performance improves with increasing leachate temperature. However, the performance reduces with increasing inter-electrode distance.

The biodegradability of aged landfill leachate is low, and the treatment effects of common processes are very poor. This paper explored the effects of the Ultrasound/Ultraviolet - Aged Refuse Bioreactor combined process on aged landfill leachate. The main results were as follows: 1The optimum power of ultrasound was 100 W, and the optimum wavelength of ultraviolet was 254 nm. The removal rate of COD was 27.33% and the value of BOD/COD ratio was increased from 0.1 to 0.35 after the treatment of Ultrasound/Ultraviolet process. Therefore, the biodegradability of the leachate was improved, which might meet the demand of subsequent biological treatment. 2The COD removal rates of the two-stage series aged refuse bioreactor were both kept above 50% during the experiment and this process had a strong capacity of resistance to impact load. 3The COD removal rate of the combined process was over 80% as a whole without any pretreatment, and it has positive significance for the treatment of aged leachate.
