[RETRACTED ARTICLE]Use of a sonocatalytic process to improve the biodegradability of landfill leachate

Abstract: -Landfill leachate is one of the most important sources of toxic organic compounds for ground and surface waters. Advanced oxidation processes can offer an effective and environmentally friendly method for pretreatment of landfill leachates. In this study, an ultrasonic process was used for the pre-treatment of landfill leachate with the objective of improving its overall biodegradability, evaluated in terms of the BOD 5 /COD ratio, up to a value compatible with biological treatment. Under optimized experiment… Show more

“…However, the generation of leachates is a critical issue of this landfill. Leachate is commonly generated from precipitation, surface run-off, and infiltration of groundwater percolating through the landfill [1,2]. Landfill leachate contains large amounts of organic and inorganic compounds, nutrients, chemical pollutants and heavy metals such as Pb, Ni, Cd, Cr, etc.…”
