          Abstract

          Abstract Ozone is an oxidizing agent with a potential for removing complex molecules, including those of difficult microbiological decomposition, such as the molecules found in landfill leachates. This effluent presents high organic content, including recalcitrant molecules. Therefore, this study evaluated the efficiency of ozonation in the treatment of raw leachate at the Primavera landfill, located in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The experiments were carried out using the batch system. The leachate pH value was set at 7 and 10, and the contact times between the gas and the leachate were 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 minutes. Throughout the study, we analyzed color, turbidity, pH value, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UV abs) of the leachate, both before and after ozonation. Results show that ozonation presented high removal of color, COD and UV abs when pH was 7. In contrast, turbidity removal was higher when the pH value was 10. Regarding contact time, we observed a high removal of color (between 80% and 90%) and UV abs (between 60% and 70%) at 40 minutes, depending on the pH value. Removal was also high for turbidity (approximately 75%) starting at 20 minutes with the pH value at 10, and at 70 minutes with pH at 7. The removal relation within all analyzed parameters (due to ozone consumption) decreased throughout the reaction time. Thus, we concluded that ozonation as a pre-treatment of leachate is indeed satisfactory because of its great capacity for organic material removal.

          Resumo O ozônio é um agente oxidante com potencial para remoção de moléculas complexas, de difícil decomposição microbiológica, como as moléculas presentes em lixiviados. Este efluente apresenta alta carga orgânica, sendo parte desta recalcitrante. Assim, neste trabalho avaliou-se a eficiência da ozonização no tratamento do lixiviado bruto do aterro sanitário de Primavera, localizado no município de Sorriso - MT. Os experimentos foram realizados em batelada, com o valor de pH do lixiviado ajustado em 7 e 10, e tempos de contato entre o gás e o lixiviado iguais a 20, 40, 60, 80 e 100 min. Foram analisados cor, turbidez, pH, DQO e absorbância ultravioleta a 254 nm (abs UV) do efluente antes e após a ozonização. Os resultados indicaram que a ozonização apresentou maiores remoções de cor, DQO e abs UV em pH 7, ao passo que a remoção de turbidez foi maior em pH 10. Em relação ao tempo de contato, foram observadas altas remoções de cor (entre 80 e 90%) e abs UV (entre 60 e 70%) em 40 minutos, dependendo do valor de pH; e turbidez (aproximadamente 75%) a partir do tempo 20 minutos, em valor de pH 10, e em 70 minutos, em pH 7. A relação de remoção entre todos os parâmetros analisados em função do consumo de ozônio foi decrescente ao longo do tempo de reação. Por fim, conclui-se que o emprego da ozonização como pré-tratamento de lixiviado é satisfatório, pois apresenta boa remoção de material orgânico.

          Landfill leachate treatment: Review and opportunity.

          In most countries, sanitary landfilling is nowadays the most common way to eliminate municipal solid wastes (MSW). In spite of many advantages, generation of heavily polluted leachates, presenting significant variations in both volumetric flow and chemical composition, constitutes a major drawback. Year after year, the recognition of landfill leachate impact on environment has forced authorities to fix more and more stringent requirements for pollution control. This paper is a review of landfill leachate treatments. After the state of art, a discussion put in light an opportunity and some results of the treatment process performances are given. Advantages and drawbacks of the various treatments are discussed under the items: (a) leachate transfer, (b) biodegradation, (c) chemical and physical methods and (d) membrane processes. Several tables permit to review and summarize each treatment efficiency depending on operating conditions. Finally, considering the hardening of the standards of rejection, conventional landfill leachate treatment plants appear under-dimensioned or do not allow to reach the specifications required by the legislator. So that, new technologies or conventional ones improvements have been developed and tried to be financially attractive. Today, the use of membrane technologies, more especially reverse osmosis (RO), either as a main step in a landfill leachate treatment chain or as single post-treatment step has shown to be an indispensable means of achieving purification.

            Wastewater disinfection by ozone: main parameters for process design.

            Wastewater disinfection by ozone was investigated at pilot scale on different wastewater effluents. Variations in operating conditions showed that a very low hydraulic retention time (2 min) was sufficient for efficient fecal coliform inactivation, provided a sufficient ozone dose was transferred to the effluent. Therefore, the transferred ozone dose appeared to be the critical parameter for the design of wastewater disinfection. As a consequence, the "Ct" approach commonly applied in drinking water treatment should not be used for wastewater ozonation. Design parameters of ozonation were proposed for two types of regulations, and for effluents of different qualities. It was demonstrated that only with an efficient filtration step one can meet stringent standards such as the California Title 22 criteria. In all cases, viruses were totally inactivated; consequently, viruses do not constitute a limiting factor in wastewater disinfection by ozone. The standard drinking water model failed to match the experimental data obtained on real wastewater effluents. A modified approach was successfully developed, based on the simultaneous consumption of ozone by the microorganisms and the organic matrix.
