Leachate treatment with the Fenton’s Process

The goal of the study was to improve the UV transmittance of landfill leachate.  As wastewater treatment plants switch their disinfection process from chlorine to UV, they realize that landfill leachate interferes with the effectiveness of the disinfection process by blocking UV.  The Fenton’s Process achieved moderate improvement in UV transmittance, but generation of solids was considered prohibitive by the landfill.
