Sumario:The objective of this study was to evaluate the coagulation-flocculation process inthe clarification of leachate from the landfill Technical Center of Souk-Ahras cityusing three coagulants based on iron: ferrous sulfate FeSO4.7H2O; ferrous chlorideFeCl2.4H2O and ferric chloride FeCl3. The influence of some parameters namelypH leachate, dose and nature of coagulant and nature of flocculant was studied.The best treatment efficiency was obtained at 20 % of FeCl3 giving a turbidity of4.09 NTU with pH adjustment of the raw leachate at acidic pH (3.5 ± 0.2) beforecoagulant addition and at a basic pH (7.5 ± 0.2) after addition of coagulant. Theiron valence and the nature of anion at which is linked, played a determinant rolein the clarification of leachate. The treatments made with ferric chloride in thepresence of a flocculant have proved that the starch was more efficient than limegiving abatement rates of 99 % for COD and 85 % for BOD5.
