Improvement criteria for different advanced technologies towards bio-stabilized leachate based on molecular subcategories of DOM

Considering dissolved organic matter (DOM) molecules, the present study is an attempt to unravel the individual removal targets of nine advanced treatment technologies for bio-stabilized landfill leachate. For the eight DOM molecular subcategories, preferable technologies and removal rates were as follows: lipids ‒ powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption (97%) and Fenton (97%); proteins ‒ extended electrolysis (92%) and Fenton (92%); and...
