Bukit Tagar Sanitary landfill leachate was characterized and then treated with ferric chloride and P-Floc775, individually. The raw leachate contained high concentration of BOD5 ( 27000 mg/L), COD ( 59000 mg/L ), NH 3-N (4300 mg/L ), Pb (15.15 mg/L), Al (15.75 mg/L ), Zn (17.55 mg/L ), Fe (84.3 mg/L ), Cu (10.95 mg/L) cd (11-25 mg/L) and As (3.6 mg/L). All these parameters exceeded the Malaysian regulatory standard limit of EQA 1974 (Standard A and B). Leachate treatment was optimum with 2g/500ml FeCl 3 at pH 7 and mixing speed 100 rpm. It was able to reduce about 100% of Cd, Pb and Cu to below the Environmental Quality (Sewage and Industrial Effluent) Regulation Standard B while Zn was reduced by 89% but was still above standard B. The optimum for P-Floc775 was 2ml/500ml, pH7 and mixing speed 90 rpm. Maximum removal of Cd and Cu was 100% which was below the Environmental Quality Regulation Standard B requirements. P-Floc775 was able to reduce Pb and Zn by 82% and 88%, respectively, which were still above Standard B. Further integrated leachate treatment is recommended to achieve the EQA regulation limits.
