In
2005, the Florida Center for Solid and Hazardous Waste
Management issued a
research grant to FAU Lab-EES to investigate treatment options for long-term
management of landfill leachate in Florida.
This research
will address a major technological need for sustainable, economical
options for routine leachate treatment and safe discharge to the
environment by investigating energized processes, such as
photochemical oxidation, which includes the futuristic photochemical
iron-mediated aeration (PIMA) and TiO2-magnetite
photocatalysis.
The objectives
of the research are to:
