In order to efi ciently treat landfill leachate,a sort of efluent containing complex pollutants,ICP -MS analysis was used to measure the heavy metals contained in the landfill leachate generated from Datianshan landrill in Guangzhou.46 kinds of heavy metals in the landfill leachate were detected,1 0 of which belong to the environ.mental priority pollutants considered by Environmental Protection Agency in USA. In these 1 0 priority pollutants,the mass concentrations of Cr,Ni,Zn,Cu and Pb are comparatively high,especially those of Cr and Zn.which are more than 1 00 μg/L. Moreover,a set of simultaneous aerobic.anaerobic bioreactor was used t()treat the landrill leachate.The results demonstrate that 10 of the 46 pollutants have a removal rate of more than 70%, 12 of 50% ~69%,and the removal rates of Cr and Zn all exceed 60%.In addition, in the ten priority pollutants.the removal
rates of Cr,Zn,As,Pb and Se account for more than 60% .
