Development of Advanced Oxidation Processes for Landfill Leachate Treatment in Muribeca (Pe-Brazil)

AOP, Photo-Fenton, leachateAbstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOP's) stand out due to their high efficiency in the degradation of organic compounds with low operational cost. Through a 23 experimental design, variables such as pH, hydrogen peroxide, volume and reaction time were assessed. The response studied was the amount of degraded organic matter per mg/L of leachate. To optimize the process, the study sought to maximize the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) reduction percentage. The white light reactor provided COD removal ranging from 5.3% to 46.6% and TOC reduction from 4.9% to 50.5%. The black light reactor provided COD removal ranging from 20.3% to 58% and TOC reduction from 27.3% to 46.5%. Finally, the sunlight reactor provided COD removal ranging from 21.3% to 77% and TOC reduction from 38.2% to 69.2%. A pseudo-first-order kinetic model was applied, allowing a satisfactory representation of the degradation process.Downloads
