Electrochemical advanced oxidation process (EAOP) is recommended for high-strength refractory organics wastewater treatment, but the accompanying chlorinated byproduct generation becomes a bottleneck that limits the application of this technology to actual wastewater. In this study, we applied EAOP (0.4-40 mA cm^-2) to treat ultrafiltration effluent of an actual landfill leachate, and quantitatively assessed the toxicities of the dominant chlorinated byproducts in EAOP-treated effluent. Considering both toxic effect and dose, it followed the order: active chlorine > chlorate > perchlorate > organochlorines. The toxic active chlorine could spontaneously decompose by settling. And secondary bioreactor originally serving for denitrification could be used to reduce perchlorate and chlorate. The effects of residual active chlorine and extra carbon addition on simultaneous denitrification, perchlorate, and chlorate reduction were investigated. It seemed that 20 mg of active chlorine was an acceptable level to bioactivity, and sufficient electron donors favored the removal of chlorate and perchlorate. Pseudomonas was identified as an active chlorine tolerant chlorate-reducing bacteria. And Thauera was responsible for perchlorate reduction under the conditions of sufficient carbon source supply. Our results confirmed that the perchlorate and chlorate concentrations in the effluent below their health advisory levels were achievable, solving the issue of toxic chlorinated byproduct generation during EAOP. This study provided a solution to realistic application of EAOP to treat high chloride wastewater.
