Degradation of Landfill Leachate by Ultrasound/Ultraviolet - Aged Refuse Bioreactor Combined Process

摘要

The biodegradability of aged landfill leachate is low, and the treatment effects of common processes are very poor. This paper explored the effects of the "Ultrasound/Ultraviolet - Aged Refuse Bioreactor" combined process on aged landfill leachate. The main results were as follows: 1) The optimum power of ultrasound was 100 W, and the optimum wavelength of ultraviolet was 254 nm. The removal rate of COD was 27.33% and the value of BOD/COD ratio was increased from 0.1 to 0.35 after the treatment of Ultrasound/Ultraviolet process. Therefore, the biodegradability of the leachate was improved, which might meet the demand of subsequent biological treatment. 2) The COD removal rates of the two-stage series aged refuse bioreactor were both kept above 50% during the experiment and this process had a strong capacity of resistance to impact load. 3) The COD removal rate of the combined process was over 80% as a whole without any pretreatment, and it has positive significance for the treatment of aged leachate.
