leachate characteristics, it may be necessary to pre-treat leachate prior to discharge in wastewater treatment plants so that it does not upset the biological process nor cause any operational and maintenance problems in the treatment plant. In determining a treatment scheme for leachate treatment, it is also necessary to determine whether the leachate effluent meets sewer or water body discharge standards. 2.5 Leachate Composition and Characteristics During the first few years (< 5 years), the landfill is in acidogenic phase and the leachate generated is generally referred to as “young” or carbon-based leachate due to the high concentration of organic carbon present. Landfill greater than 10 years old are generally in the methanogenic phase and the leachate generated is referred to as “old” or nitrogen-based leachate (Mavinic, 1998). Table.2.1 gives the characteristic of leachate present in acidogenic and methanogenic phases. Table 2.1 Leachate Characteristic in Acidogenic and Methanogenic Phase in a Landfill (Ehrig, 1998) Parameter Unit Average Range Acidogenic Phase pH 6.1 4.5 to 7.5 BOD5 mg/L 13,000 4,000 to 40,000 COD mg/L 22,000 6,000 to 60,000 BOD5/COD 0.58 - SO4 mg/L 500 70 to 1,750 Ca mg/L 1,200 10 to 2,500 Mg mg/L 470 50 to 1,150 Fe mg/L 780 20 to 2,100 Mn mg/L 25 0.3 to 65 Zn mg/L 5 0.1 to 120 Methanogenic Phase pH 8 7.5 to 9 BOD5 mg/L 180 20 to 550 COD mg/L 3,000 500 to 4,500 BOD5/COD 0.06 - SO4 mg/L 80 10 to 420 Ca mg/L 60 20 to 600 Mg mg/L 180 40 to 350 Fe mg/L 15 3 to 280 Mn mg/L 0.7 0.03 to 45 Zn mg/L 0.6 0.03 to 4 The differences in leachate quality can be due to varied reasons, which can be categorised into four major divisions, namely the waste (type of waste, degree of decomposition, and possible seasonal variance), landfill environment (phase of degradation, humidity, temperature etc.), filling technique (compacting, cover, height of landfill layers, etc.) and sampling (method of analysis and point of sample collection). The factors affecting the leachate quality is inter-related and affects the overall variance in leachate quality and characterization. The changes in the BOD/COD, 8
COD/TOC, VS/FS and VFA/TOC ratios of leachate are depends greatly on the age of the landfill (Chian and DeWalle, 1976; Kylefors, 1997). Figure 2.3 represents the trend of leachate variation and over the period of time in the landfill. During the initial stages, the landfill is aerobic rich in biodegradable organic content. As the landfill age increases, the microorganism present in the landfill tend to degrade these organic compounds into inorganic components. When anaerobic phase begins, the COD starts increasing causing a decrease in BOD/COD ratio. This decrease in BOD/COD ratio observed, suggests the change in biodegradability of the leachate with time. For young landfill, the ratio is around 0.5-0.8 while it reaches almost 0.1 in the old landfill. The reason for low biodegradability in the old landfill could be due to the presence of humic and fluvic acids. Figure 2.3 Variation in Significant Pollutant Ratios with Increase in Age of the Landfill (Chian and DeWalle, 1976) The ammonium concentration in the leachate also varies with age of the landfill, with young leachate having a high COD (>5,000 mg/L) and low nitrogen content (< 400 mg N/L) and old leachate having a high concentrations of ammonia (> 400 mg N/L) and recalcitrant compounds and a low biodegradable organic fraction (BOD5/COD = 0.1). Municipal solid waste landfill in Asia (except Japan) is characterized by 60 to 90 % organic waste and 3 to 18 % plastic (Agamuthu, 1999). Leachate characteristics of landfills surveyed in Asia including Thailand, Europe, and America are presented in Table 2.2. The characteristic of leachate from different landfill site as reported show a great variation. It is dependent on the solid waste composition, landfill site location, and local climate. The BOD and COD concentrations decrease as the landfill age increases. 9
