Özet

BACKGROUND: The study evaluated the relationship between particle size distribution (PSD) of chemical oxygen demand(COD) and treatability of leachate generated by organic waste. PSD determinations were performed together with physico-chemical and biological treatability studies. Leachate biodegradation was also evaluated by means of oxygen uptake rate (OUR) profiles and experimental results were used for calibration of the adopted mathematical model.
