In this study, the integration of ultraviolet (UV) and electrochemically activated persulfate (PS) oxidation (UV/Electro-PS) was investigated in pretreated landfill leachate treatment. Op-
timum process parameters for chemical oxygen demand (COD), UV254, and color removal from pre-coagulated landfill leachate were investigated. The process variables and ranges of variables were selected as pH 3-11, applied current 1-5 A, PS dose 1-9 g/L, and reaction time 5-35 min. Optimum process conditions were determined as pH 3, applied current 3 A, PS dose
5 g/L, and reaction time 25 min. By applying optimum conditions, COD, UV254, and color re-moval efficiencies by the UV/Electro-PS process were 55.6%, 68.5%, and 89.9%, respectively. The total energy consumption was calculated as 27.4 kWh/kg COD for the optimum process
conditions. UV/Electro-PS process was effective for the COD, UV254, and color removal from pre-coagulated landfill leachate.
