Municipal solid waste (MSW) leachate is a hazardous liquid produced from decomposition of solid waste with high amount of organic matter and ammonia-nitrogen with obnoxious smell. This study aimed to investigate the behavior of MSW leachate when subjected to hydrothermal treatment using an autoclave set up at below water critical points (temperatures of 100 °C, 150 °C, and 200 °C at 0.1 MPa, 0.4 MPa and 1.6 MPa, respectively) with 15 min and 60 min holding time. Physicochemical characterization of the setup at 200 °C and 1.6 MPa at 60 min holding time indicates a feasible parameter when materials that caused the dark color and obnoxious smell were almost completely removed. Over 99% of chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen was eliminated when treated with hydrothermal treatment and yielded a condensed liquid product that complied with permissible limits set by the National Water Quality Standard Malaysia and the World Health Organization for wastewater discharges for irrigation purposes. Chromatographic analysis indicated that most of the organic compounds present in the raw leachate was removed. This processing is believed to be an environmentally friendly method that can treat MSW leachate rapidly, and it has the potential to be used as an effective alternative to existing leachate treatment technologies.
ABSTRAK Larut lesap daripada sisa pepejal perbandaran merupakan cecair merbahaya yang berlaku semasa penguraian sisa pepejal dengan jumlah bahan organik dan ammonia-nitrogen yang tinggi dengan bau menjengkelkan. Kajian ini bertujuan bagi mengkaji sifat larut lesap ini apabila melalui rawatan hidroterma menggunakan autoklaf yang ditetapkan di bawah titik kritikal air (suhu 100 °C, 150 °C, dan 200 °C pada 0.1 MPa, 0.4 MPa dan 1.6 MPa masing-masing) dengan tempoh masa 15 minit dan 60 minit. Sifat fizikal kimia yang dirawat pada suhu 200 °C, 1.6 MPa selama 60 minit menunjukkan satu parameter yang boleh dilaksanakan apabila warna gelap dan bau yang menjengkelkan hampir dikurangkan sepenuhnya. Lebih 99% ammonia nitrogen disingkirkan apabila dirawat dengan rawatan hidrotherma dan menghasilkan air bersih yang mematuhi had yang dibenarkan oleh Piawaian Kualiti Air Kebangsaan Malaysia (NWQSM) dan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) bagi pelupusan air sisa pepejal bagi tujuan pengairan. Analisis kromatografi menunjukkan bahawa sebahagian besar sebatian organik yang terdapat dalam larut resap telah disingkirkan. Pemprosesan ini diyakini merupakan kaedah mesra alam yang dapat merawat dengan cepat, dan berpotensi digunakan sebagai alternatif efektif untuk teknologi rawatan larut lesap sedia ada.
