Electrochemical process for the treatment of landfill leachate

In this paper, the anodic oxidation of a real leachate from an old municipal solid waste landfill has been studied using an electrolytic flow cell equipped with a lead dioxide (PbO 2 ) anode and stainless steel as the cathode. The influence of several operation parameters such as (i) the applied cur...

Zusammenfassung:In this paper, the anodic oxidation of a real leachate from an old municipal solid waste landfill has been studied using an electrolytic flow cell equipped with a lead dioxide (PbO 2 ) anode and stainless steel as the cathode. The influence of several operation parameters such as (i) the applied current (from 0.5 to 3 A), (ii) liquid flow rate (from 50 to 420 L h −1 ), (iii) temperature (from 25 to 50 °C), and (iv) pH (from 3.5 to 8.2) on the COD removal rate, current efficiency, and energy consumption has been evaluated. The galvanostatic electrolyses always yielded COD values below the discharge limit (COD
