Abstract: With aerobic and anaerobic incubation tests, this paper studied the biodegradation of three kind landfill leachates in acidic and calcareous soils. The leachates were collected from a landfill just receiving refuse (fresh sample) and the landfills having received refuse for 4-5 years (Tianjingwa sample) and 12 years (Shuige sample). The results showed that in the first seven days of incubation, these three landfill leachates degraded more quickly. Under aerobic condition, the apparent degradation rate of fresh sample, Tianjingwa sample and Shuige sample was 88.9%, 60.5% and 25.0% in acidic soil, and 96.6%, 80.4%, and 65.0% in calcareous soil, respectively. Seven days after, a lower degradation rate was observed. In same test soils, the shorter the landfilling age, the higher apparent degradation rate of the leachates was. Similar results were obtained under anaerobic condition, but the degradation rates were lower. The degradation of test landfill leachates fitted first-order kinetics model well, with a half-life of 12-16 days for fresh sample, and 20-30 days for Tianjingwa and Shuige samples. Once the leachates penetrated into soil, their degradation quickened greatly, suggesting that soil treatment of landfill leachate could have definite efficacy.
