This study investigated the effects of O-3 and O-3/S2O82- in the advanced oxidation process (AOPs) on the biodegradable and soluble characteristics of semiaerobic stabilized solid waste leachate. The biodegradability (BOD5/COD) ratio improved from 0.034 to 0.05 and 0.29 following O-3 and O-3/ S2O82-, respectively. Fractions of biodegradable COD(bi) (24%), nonbiodegradable COD(ubi) (76%), soluble COD(s) (59%), biodegradable soluble COD(bsi) (38%), nonbiodegradable soluble COD(ubsi) (62%), and particulate COD (PCOD) (41%) in stabilized leachate were also investigated. The fraction of COD ((bi)) increased to 28 and 39% after applying O-3 and O-3/ S2O82- in AOPs, respectively. COD(S) increased to 65 after O-3 and to 72% after O-3/AOPs, whereas COD ((bsi)) increased to 38 and 55% after O-3 and O-3/AOPs, respectively. The removal efficiency of total COD was obtained at 15 after O-3 alone and improved to 72% following ozone-based AOPs, whereas PCOD reduced from 41 to 35 after O-3 and 28% after ozone-based AOPs. Ozone/Prsulfate is an efficient method for degradation of stabilized leachate, enhanced biodegradability and improved biodegradable and soluble characteristics of stabilized leachate.
