Abstract
This research was undertaken to investigate the characteristic analysis of Matuail landfillleachate in order to intend an appropriate treatment option. Samples were collected twicefrom two different pits of Matuail landfill site for both dry and wet weather conditions.Characteristics of the landfill leachate samples were determined through extensive laboratoryanalysis. The leachate samples were in intermediate semi-aerobic phase and characterized asmedium aged. Low bio-degradability of Matuail leachate indicates that these samples may beefficiently treated with physico/chemical process or reverse osmosis rather than biologicaltreatment. The concentrations of various contaminants reveal that the quality of leachatevaried considerably with location and time but all the samples had the potential tocontaminate soil, surface water and groundwater of the site.
