HOLOS Environment, Cotia, v. 10, n. 2, p. 139-152, 2010.e- 1519-8634http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/16144his work had as objective to study the techniques of Slow Filtration followed by heterogeneous photocatalysis (TiO2/UV) in the leachate’ treatment originating from the sanitary landfill of Limeira-SP, City. Toxicological testes were used with seeds of Abelmoschus esculentus L.; Lactuca sativa L.; Impatiens balsamina and Celosia cristata to evaluate the treatment efficiency. The toxicological testes demonstrated the possibility of use larger concentration of leachate treated in the seeds germination, and it was possible to add 96% of leachate for the Abelmoschus esculentus L seeds germination, 30% for the Lactuca sativa L, 54% for Impatiens balsamina and 40% for Celosia cristata. Also were observed parameter values reductions of the environmental importance great, such as, coloration that presented reductions approximated 76,42%, total organic carbon (TOC) 67,88%, total phenols 77,13% and amoniacal nitrogen 34,63%. The treatment methodology using Slow Filtration and Photocataysis demonstrated to be an excellent option of leachate remediation.porAcesso AbertoChorumeAterro sanitárioFotocatáliseToxicidadeTratamentoLeachateSanitary landfillPhotocatalysisToxicityTreatmentArtigo10.14295/holos.v10i2.2469
