Ozone-based advanced oxidation of biological treated landfill leachate: oxidation efficiency, mechanisms, and surrogate-based monitoring for bulk organics

In this study, the application of ozonation and ozonation with hydrogen peroxide processes for landfill leachate treatment was investigated. The effluents were characterized by COD 710 mgO2/dm3 and BOD5 72 mg O2/dm3. According to the adopted indicators, the determined BOD/COD ratio of 0.1 in raw leachates indicates a stabilized landfill. Ozone was applied at doses of 0.15 - 0.6 gO3/dm3, and hydrogen peroxide at such doses to keep the weight ratios of H2O2/O3 0.4 - 1.6. The maximum COD and UV absorbance removal was respectively 29% and 51% by applying a high ozone dose of 0.6 gO3/dm3. After oxidation, the ratio of BOD/COD was increased from 0.1 up to 0.3. It has been shown that by using hydrogen peroxide in ozonation, organic compounds expressed as COD can be efficiently removed from the effluents. The best conditions for the H2O2/O3 process were obtained with a H2O2/O3 ratio of 0.8 and ozone dose of 0.6 gO3/dm3. Under these conditions, the removal efficiency of COD was 46%.

Sanitary landfilling is the most acceptable method to eliminate solid urban wastes. However, it is known that sanitary landfill generates large amount of heavily polluted leachate. High concentrations of recalcitrant organics make its degradation more complicated and high concentration of organic material can be toxic and reduce bioremediation process. Landfill leachate treatment by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been intensively studied with high successful rate for removing refractory pollutants (biological degradation) from leachate. Fenton reaction which is one basic AOPs is based on the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the leachate in the presence of ferrous salt as a catalyst. Because of that, many improvement and development of new Fenton-based methods have been reported in the literature. This review discussed the application of Fenton and related processes in terms of wide application in landfill leachate treatment. The effects of various operating parameters and their optimum ranges for organics contaminant removed were also discussed.
