Abstract
Landfill leachate, with its high concentrations of persistent organic pollutants, salts, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants, presents significant environmental challenges. This study investigated the combination of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and ferrate (Fe(VI)) pretreatment technology in landfill leachate treatment, focusing on its effectiveness in enhancing oxidation performance and mitigating membrane fouling. The results indicated that after DBD/Fe(VI) treatment, TOC and UV254 removal efficiencies increased by 44 % and 67 %, respectively. Additionally, the DBD/Fe(VI) system excelled in removing fluorescent substances and high molecular weight organic compounds, thereby reducing the formation of the cake layer on the nanofiltration membrane. This system enhanced oxidation performance through the synergistic production of reactive intermediates, with Fe(V)/Fe(IV) and •OH being the main active species, O2•-, and 1O2 also contributing significantly. The degradation pathway of perfluorooctanoic acid was investigated by utilizing it as the representative pollutant. Compared to the raw landfill leachate system, the DBD/Fe(VI) increased membrane flux by 104 %, while reducing reversible and irreversible fouling resistances by 67 % and 75 %, respectively. Furthermore, the advantages and practical application potential of the DBD/Fe(VI) system were evaluated from energy consumption, economic cost, and carbon dioxide emissions. The study offers an innovative method for landfill leachate treatment and fouling mitigation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Membrane Science is a publication that focuses on membrane systems and is aimed at academic and industrial chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and membranologists. It publishes original research and reviews on various aspects of membrane transport, membrane formation/structure, fouling, module/process design, and processes/applications. The journal primarily focuses on the structure, function, and performance of non-biological membranes but also includes papers that relate to biological membranes. The Journal of Membrane Science publishes Full Text Papers, State-of-the-Art Reviews, Letters to the Editor, and Perspectives.
