ABSTRACT
Anaerobic stabilized
landfill leachate was treated by persulfate (S2O82−)
oxidation. The effect of three factors namely; persulfate dosage, pH and
reaction time on COD and NH3-N
removals; was studied. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA)
showed that the selected factors significantly affected the percentage of COD and
NH3-N removals. Furthermore, the maximum removal was
achieved at 60 min of persulfate oxidation, a COD/S2O82− ratio (1 g/4.2 g), and pH7, the percentage of removals for COD and
NH3-N were 45% and 55%, respectively. The effect of
persulfate oxidation on the biodegradability of leachate was also investigated.
The results showed that the BOD5/COD ratio
improved from 0.09 to 0.1. The oxidation enhanced the biodegradable (CODbi)
from 36% to 57%. Hence, persulfate is suitable to pre-treat highly-concentrated
stabilized leachate. This process should follow the organic degradation and
ammonia removal followed by biological treatment processes.
Keywords: ANOVA;
biodegradability; landfilling leachate; persulfate; Tukey's test
ABSTRAK
Larut lesap stabil anaerob
telah dirawat secara pengoksidaan persulfat ((S2O82−).
Kesan tiga faktor iaitu dos persulfat, pH dan masa tindak balas
terhadap penyingkiran COD dan NH3-N telah dikaji. Ujian ANOVA
menunjukkan faktor tersebut memberi kesan yang bererti
terhadap peratusan penyingkiran COD dan NH3-N.
Seterusnya penyingkiran maksimum COD dan NH3-N
masing-masing sebanyak 45% dan 55% telah dicapai pada masa 60 minit,
nisbah COD/S2O82−
pada 1 g/4.2 g dan pada pH7. Kesan pengoksidaan persulfat
terhadap keterbiodegredan larut lesapan juga dikaji. Hasil kajian
menunjukkan nisbah BOD5/COD meningkat daripada 0.9 kepada 1.0.
Pengoksidaan telah meningkatkan biodegredasi (CODbi)
dari 36% kepada 57%. Dengan ini, persulfat sesuai merawat larut
lesap stabil yang berkepekatan tinggi. Proses ini seharusnya diikuti
dengan degredasi bahan organik dan penyingkiran ammonia melalui
proses rawatan secara biologi.
Kata kunci: ANOVA; keterbiodegredan; larut lesapan; persulfat;
