Abstract
- • DOM composition in landfill and incineration leachate was systematically compared. • Transformations of the DOM molecular compositions by MBR/NF were investigated. • Phenolic compounds, polyphenols and polycyclic aromatics enriched in MBR leachate. • NF lowered the DOM abundances but with more complex DOM in the NF concentrate. • Coagulation in conjunction with an advanced O 3 /H 2 O 2 process was used to treat NF concentrate. Transformations of the molecular compositions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in incineration leachate (IL) were investigated. Results revealed that DOM in IL had a lower oxidation degree than that in mature MSW landfill leachate (LL). Moreover, aliphatic compounds (2.0 ≥ H/C ≥ 1.5) having the highest bioavailability were the most abundant type of DOM in IL, making IL significantly more biodegradable than LL. Under microbial actions, etc., DOM composed of phenolic compounds (aromaticity index (AI) ≤ 0.50 and H/C < 1.5), polyphenols (0.66 ≥ AI > 0.50) and polycyclic aromatics (AI > 0.66) in MBR-treated effluents were enriched and more diverse than in the untreated leachates. Nanofiltration (NF) dramatically lowered the relative abundances of phenolic compounds, polyphenols and polycyclic aromatics in effluent generated by treatment of IL in a MBR. Although the concentration of DOM in NF effluent was comparatively low, the DOM compositions in the resulting NF concentrate were nearly identical to those in MBR effluent, but were more complex than those in an international standard DOM due to a higher content of CHOS and CHONS heteroatomic compounds. Particularly, coagulation in conjunction with ozone/hydrogen peroxide oxidation process were dramatically reduced most polyphenols and polycyclic aromatics from the NF concentrate.
