Abstract

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.
