The paper presents the possibility of using the ozonation process in landfill leachate pretreatment. The study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage, the landfill leachate was subjected only to the ozone, with the dose varying from 10 mg/dm³ to 40 mg/dm³. As part of this stage of research, the effect of changes in the pH of wastewater undergoing the process of ozonation on the efficiency of TOC removal was examined. For all the tested pH values (pH = 3.5, pH = 7 pH = 8.5 pH = 10), the TOC removal rate constant (k_Rowo) during ozonization was determined. In the second stage of the study, the ozonation process was facilitated by UV radiation. Additionally in this stage, the rate of generation of OH• radicals was accelerated by the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the reactor. The COD: H2O2 ratio by weight was 1:2.5, 1:5 and 1:10 and 1:20. In the last stage of the study, we attempted to assist the ozonation process using ultrasonic field. The employed vibration amplitude amounted to 25μm and sonication time equalled 300 seconds. It was found that the ozonation process is the most effective at alkaline pH (8.5). The TOC removal efficiency was 37% (346 mg/dm3) after 60 minutes of ozonation. The best results of pollutants oxidation measured as COD and TOC removal were observed when the dose of ozone was 20 mg/dm3. The combination of sonication and ozonation has resulted in a reduction of COD and TOC values by 370 mg/dm³ and 126 mg/³, respectively, in comparison to the ozonation process alone. It was found that the most effective process in landfill leachate treatment is the combination of ozonation with hydrogen peroxide addition (COD:H₂O₂=1:10). The COD, TOC and BOD values were 65%, 62% and 36% lower, respectively, in comparison to ozonation process conducted alone.
