A novel catalyst of Fe-Mn/AC was prepared and used as a heterogeneous catalyst to activate O₃/Na₂S₂O₈ for landfill leachate biochemical effluent treatment. The experimental results indicated that the highest COD (84%) and color (98%) removal was obtained at Fe-Mn/AC dosage 1.2 g/L, O₃ concentration 1.2 g/L, Na₂S₂O₈ dosage 6 g/L, initial pH 10, and reaction time 100 min. Three-dimensional and excitation emission matrix (3D-EEM) fluorescence spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) of wastewater samples before and after treatment demonstrated that the leachate biochemical effluent contained a large amount of humic and fulvic acid organic compounds. After treatment with this coupling system, both the pollution level of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and the fluorescence intensity declined. The micro morphology of Fe-Mn/AC was characterized using scanning X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD), electron microscope spectra (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. It can be concluded that the microscopic morphology of the catalyst is porous. The main active components are amorphous MnO₂ and multivalent iron oxides. Furthermore, the Fe-Mn/AC catalyst showed great reusability; the removal efficiency of COD was only reduced from 84% to 79% at the fourth reaction. Moreover, the COD removal efficiency could recover to 81% after catalyst regeneration.
