Table 2.
The specified physicochemical and microbiological parameters of the landfill leachate.
| Parameter | Unit | Result * |
|---|---|---|
| pH | – | 8.9 ± 0.1 |
| Chemical Oxygen Demand, COD | mg O2/L | 770 ± 116 |
| Total Organic Carbon, TOC | mg/L | 230 ± 35 |
| Total Nitrogen, TN | mg/L | 120 ± 18 |
| Total Phosphorus, TP | mg/L | 12 ± 2 |
| Total Coli Count, TCC | CFU/mg/L | 6.2 × 106 (6.8 log) |
| Most Probable Number of fecal enterococci, MPNfe | MPN/100 mL | 1.1 × 104 (4.0 log) |
| Total Proteolytic Count, TPC | CFU/mL | 2.6 × 104 (4.4 log) |
* parameter value ± the measurement uncertainty for an extension factor k = 2; for pH ± 0.1, for COD, TOC, TN and TP the measurement uncertainty was ± 15%, for microbiological enumerations the measurement uncertainty were 0.04 log (TCC, TPC) and 0.07 log (MPNfe).
