Leachates may contain largeamounts of organic matter (biodegradable, but also refractory to biodegradation), where humic‐type constituents consistan important group, as well as ammonia‐nitrogen, heavy metals, chlorinated organic and inorganic salts. The leachate ishighly toxic and genotoxic and should be treated properly before its release in the receiving bodies (Baun et al., 2003).
• The characterization of the landfill leachate varies accordingto their age, due to the different phases of wastedecomposition (Kjeldsen et al 2002)decomposition (Kjeldsen et al., 2002).
• In the initial stage of the decomposition, there is a greaterpresence of biodegradable compounds, susceptible todegradation by biological processdegradation by biological process.
• As the age of the leachate increased, the biodegradablefraction becomes low, and the content of high molecular, gweight substances (such humic substances) are difficult todegradation (recalcitrant), ammonia nitrogen, and toxiccompounds increases.

ConsiderationsThe degradation of complex organic by AOPs can lead theformation of intermediate compounds which may be toxicor even more toxic than the initial compound (Rizzo 2011).

It causes the integration of the effects of all contaminants,serving as a complement to physical and chemical analysis(Andreozzi et al., 2002; RIZZO et al., 2009).
