The water quality improvement of landfill leachate after sequencing batch reactor (SBR) activated sludge process were evaluated by chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions, and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (EEM), from which the new understanding was obtained. The results indicated that less than 14 % COD was removed by SBR. The EEM of leachate and SBR effluent showed that HPO-A and TPI-A were appeared in the peak C, while the HPI, HPO-N, and TPI-N could not be found due to dilution. Although humic acid appeared in peak C, not all the organic materials in peak C are humic acid. And because landfill leachate is a kind of complicated wastewater, therefore, only EEM cannot efficiently reflect the water quality.
