Abstract
We experimentally investigated the decomposition dioxins and endocrine disrupting organic compounds in the landfill leachates by ozone/ultraviolet irradiation (O_3/UV), one of the advanced oxidation process. As the result of this study, the dioxins were decomposed to over 90% by O_3/UV. The concentration of dioxins was less than the environmental criterion. The decomposition rate of bisphenol A and benzophenone were over 90%, and the concentrations of those were below 0.1μg/L. Therefore the dioxins and endocrine disrupting organic compounds were treatable simultaneously.
