AB  - The widespread distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in landfill 
      leachate is problematic due to their acute toxicity, carcinogenicity and 
      genotoxicity effects, which could be detrimental to public health and ecological 
      systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effective removal of 
      POPs - namely, p-tert-Butylphenol and Pyridine, 3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-, 
      (S)- - from landfill leachate using locust bean gum (LBG), and in comparison with 
      commonly used alum. The response surface methodology coupled with a Box-Behnken 
      design was employed to optimize the operating factors for optimal POPs removal. A 
      quadratic polynomial model was fitted into the data with the R(2) values of 0.97 
      and 0.96 for the removal of p-tert-Butylphenol and Pyridine, 
      3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl), (S)-, respectively. The physicochemical 
      characteristics of the flocs produced by LBG and alum were evaluated with Fourier 
      Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). 
      The infrared spectra of LBG-treated floc were identical with LBG powder, but 
      there was some variation in the peaks of the functional groups, signifying the 
      chemical interactions between flocculants and pollutant particles resulting from 
      POPs removal. The results showed that p-tert-Butylphenol and Pyridine, 
      3-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)-, (S)- obtained 96% and 100% removal using 500 mg/L 
      of LBG at pH 4. pH have a significant effect on POPs removal in leachate. It is 
      estimated that treating one million gallons of leachate using alum (at 1 g/L 
      dosage) would cost US$39, and using LBG (at 500 mg/L dosage) would cost US$2. LBG 
      is eco-friendly, biodegradable and non-toxic and, hence, strongly recommended as 
      an alternative to inorganic coagulants for the treatment of POPs in landfill 
      leachate.
