Abstract:
This study provides biodegradability of organics in leachate according to their molecular mass distributions ( 〈 0.5, 0.5 to 1, 1 to 3, 10, and 〉 10 KDa). Organics with molecular mass values lower than 0.5 KDa were the predominant species in the raw leachate filtrate, and the aerated lagoon process was very effective in treating these highly biodegradable organics; the Fenton's oxidation process was very effective in treating not‐so‐biodegradable organics with molecular mass values higher than 0.5 KDa, but a portion of these organics were converted into organics 〈 0.5 KDa after Fenton's oxidation. An oxygen uptake measurement using a respirometer was more sensitive than a conventional biochemical oxygen demand measurement to evaluate bioactivities, especially when bioactivities were low.
