           ABSTRACT
            
           Anaerobic stabilized
            landfill leachate was treated by persulfate (S2O82−)
            oxidation. The effect of three factors namely; persulfate dosage, pH and
            reaction time on COD and NH3-N
            removals; was studied. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA)
            showed that the selected factors significantly affected the percentage of COD and
            NH3-N removals. Furthermore, the maximum removal was
            achieved at 60 min of persulfate oxidation, a COD/S2O82− ratio (1 g/4.2 g), and pH7, the percentage of removals for COD and
            NH3-N were 45% and 55%, respectively. The effect of
            persulfate oxidation on the biodegradability of leachate was also investigated.
            The results showed that the BOD5/COD ratio
            improved from 0.09 to 0.1. The oxidation enhanced the biodegradable (CODbi)
            from 36% to 57%. Hence, persulfate is suitable to pre-treat highly-concentrated
            stabilized leachate. This process should follow the organic degradation and
            ammonia removal followed by biological treatment processes.

           ABSTRAK
            
           Larut lesap stabil anaerob 
              telah dirawat secara pengoksidaan persulfat ((S2O82−). 
              Kesan tiga faktor iaitu dos persulfat, pH dan masa tindak balas 
              terhadap penyingkiran COD dan NH3-N telah dikaji. Ujian ANOVA 
              menunjukkan faktor tersebut memberi kesan yang bererti 
              terhadap peratusan penyingkiran COD dan NH3-N. 
              Seterusnya penyingkiran maksimum COD dan NH3-N 
              masing-masing sebanyak 45% dan 55% telah dicapai pada masa 60 minit, 
              nisbah COD/S2O82− 
              pada 1 g/4.2 g dan pada pH7. Kesan pengoksidaan persulfat 
              terhadap keterbiodegredan larut lesapan juga dikaji. Hasil kajian 
              menunjukkan nisbah BOD5/COD meningkat daripada 0.9 kepada 1.0. 
              Pengoksidaan telah meningkatkan biodegredasi (CODbi) 
              dari 36% kepada 57%. Dengan ini, persulfat sesuai merawat larut 
              lesap stabil yang berkepekatan tinggi. Proses ini seharusnya diikuti 
              dengan degredasi bahan organik dan penyingkiran ammonia melalui 
              proses rawatan secara biologi.
