Synergistic heat/UV activated persulfate for the treatment of nanofiltration concentrated leachate
2021
Abstract Nanofiltration concentration leachate is a high concentration organic wastewater with low biodegradability and high toxicity. To explore the feasibility of a combined Heat/UV activated persulfate process on nanofiltration concentrated leachate, the effects of persulfate concentration, initial solution pH before reaction, UV-lamp power and reaction temperature on the removal of organic pollutant were systematically investigated. Results indicated that the maximum rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N) and absorbance of organic matter under UV light at 254 nm (UV254) removal from the leachate were 65.4%, 51.4% and 98.1%, respectively, at a persulfate concentration of 18 g L−1, initial solution pH before reaction of 9.0, UV-lamp power of 60 W and temperature of 80 °C. The results of three-dimensional fluorescence and UV254 showed that the removal rates of humic substances contained in the nanofiltration concentrated leachate were over 98%. In addition, the results of free radical scavenging showed that hydroxyl radicals were dominant under alkaline conditions. The results of this study demonstrated that coupling heat and ultraviolet activated persulfate oxidation is a promising technique for the treatment of nanofiltration concentrated leachate.
