Abstract
Landfill leachate is produced from garbage decomposition with highly toxic and bio-refractory compounds, which poses serious harm to environmental security and human health. Thus, it is urgent to treat landfill leachate properly. Persulfate (PS) oxidation has attracted extensive attentions in terms of fast reaction speed, non-selectivity to target pollutants and thorough oxidation. In recent years, PS oxidation has been widely adopted for landfill leachate purification. However, the related results have been rarely summarized. In this review, the treatment of landfill leachate by PS oxidation system is discussed systematically including oxidants, activation modes and oxidation mechanisms. In addition, the current situation of PS oxidation system and other coupled systems for landfill leachate treatment is also summarized. Finally, the challenges and future research directions of landfill leachate treatment based on PS oxidation process are proposed. Meaningfully, this review will provide valuable references for the development of landfill leachate treatment process, promoting the application of advanced oxidation technology in landfill leachate treatment.
