Landfill leachate treatment methods: A review

Abstract: Landfilling of municipal waste is a major issue of the waste management system in Europe. The generated leachate must be appropriately treated before being discharged into the environment. Technologies meant for leachate treatment can be classified as follows (i) biological methods, (ii) chemical and physical methods. Here we review briefly the main processes currently used for the landfill leachates treatments.

“…Indeed, the three most applied AOP techniques are O 3 /H 2 O 2 , H 2 O 2 /UV and O 3 /UV [132]. Many processes are based on the direct reaction of the oxidant with the contaminants while AOP is characterized by the generation of OH radicals as reactive species able to oxidize halogenated organics and improve the biodegradability of recalcitrant organic pollutants [7,15,18].…”

In the second phase, anaerobic microorganisms convert volatile or- [9].…”

“…However, these procedures are usually inadequate to achieve the degree of purity required by local legislation. For this reason, use of the advanced oxidation (POA) is currently expanding, this consist of physicochemical process capable of producing profound changes in the chemical structure of pollutants that involve the generation and use of transient species, mainly of radical OH•, [8] and [9].…”
