Abstract:
:Landfills in Germany are currently approaching stabilization phase; as a result removal of inert organics and potentially toxic elements in the leachate is becoming a primary concern. Dissolved air floatation (DAF) at the secondary stage reduces only 27% of the residual chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the investigated treatment systems; downstream granular activated carbon (GAC) units are required to further reduce COD concentration by 40-56% to meet indirect discharge or direct discharge limits respectively. Therefore, in this study performance in terms of COD and trace metals adsorption of different types of granular activated carbon were compared over different contact times and dosages. GAC 1 with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of 719.5 ± 2.1 m2/g and average pore diameter (D) of 4.81 nm was identified to be inappropriate for treatment of leachate from this landfill. GAC 2 (with BET of 1513.7 ± 6.4 m2/g and D of 3.50 nm) was feasible for COD reduction from DAF-pretreated leachate, while GAC 3 (with BET of 644.5 ± 2.6 m2/g and D of 5.65 nm) can be coupled either with biological step alone, or as a tertiary step after the DAF unit. Moreover, as COD is the primary remaining contaminant of interest after secondary and tertiary treatment, spectrometer probes provide a close estimation of COD concentration for use in online monitoring. Beside COD removal, GAC 3 also confirmed the effectiveness of trace metals adsorption even at trace level, as it removed 66, 64, 48, 47, 43, and 25% of copper, cobalt, chromium, manganese, nickel, and zinc, respectively.
