Zusammenfassung: | 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.
