    Comparative Analysis of Sequential Electrooxidation and Electrocoagulation Processes for Leachate Treatment

    Ogedey, Aysenur; Oguz, Ensar

    This study aims to improve the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH₃-N, and turbidity from Bingöl leachate through a sequential electrochemical process. This process includes electrooxidation (EO) with Ti/PdO-CoO anodes and stainless-steel cathodes, followed by electrocoagulation (EC) with aluminum anodes and stainless-steel cathodes. The sequential electrochemical process lasted 400 min, consisting of 360 min of EO followed by 40 min of EC process. At pH 5, COD and turbidity reached optimal removal efficiencies of 89% and 99.9%, respectively, while NH₃-N achieved 88.5% at pH 9.5. These results indicate that the sequential electrochemical process was most effective under these pH values for removing organic matter, nitrogen, and suspended solids. The sequential electrochemical process led to significant improvements in the removal efficiencies of COD, NH₃-N, and turbidity, with increases of 32.5%, 44%, and 6.9%, respectively, compared to the EO process. The sequential electrochemical process showed improvements of 9.5% in COD and NH₃-N removal, and 1.2% in turbidity removal, compared to the results of the EC process. The pseudo-first-order (PFO) reaction rates for the EO and EC processes were determined, resulting in high R2 values (0.98–0.99). Additionally, the total consumption cost of the EO process was higher than that of the EC process. After the sequential electrochemical process, the consumption cost increased from $13.586/kg COD to $24.332/kg COD as the current density increased from 15 mA/cm2 to 25 mA/cm2.

    Leachate treatment via electrocoagulation–coal-based powdered activated carbon process: Efficiencies, mechanisms, kinetics, and costs

    Ogedey, Aysenur; Oguz, Ensar

    This study aims to improve COD, NH3-N, and turbidity removal from Bingöl's leachate using a single-reactor integrated electrocoagulation (EC)–coal-based powdered activated carbon (CBPAC) process under various experimental conditions. In the EC-CBPAC process, three stainless-steel cathodes and three aluminum electrodes were connected to the negative and positive terminals of the power supply, respectively. The initial concentrations in the leachate were 1044 mg O2/L for COD, 204 mg/L for NH3-N, and 57 NTU (or 71.25-mg (NH2)2H2SO4/L) for turbidity, respectively. After a 40-min EC-CBPAC process, with a CBPAC dosage of 5 g/L and pH of 5 for COD and turbidity, and 9.5 for NH3-N, the optimum removal efficiencies for COD, NH3-N, and turbidity were achieved at 92%, 40%, and 91%, respectively. When the EC process was applied without CBPAC under the same experimental conditions, the removal efficiencies of COD, NH3-N, and turbidity were 87%, 28%, and 54%, respectively. Before and after the EC-CBPAC process, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, pore volume, and mean pore diameter of the CBPAC were found to be (888 m2/g, 0.498 cm3/g, and 22.28 Å) and (173 m2/g, 0.18 cm3/g, and 42.8 Å), respectively. The optimum pseudo-first-order (PFO) rate constants for COD, turbidity, and NH3-N were determined to be 3.15 × 10−2, 4.77 × 10−2, and 8.8 × 10−3 min−1, respectively. With the current density increasing from 15 to 25 mA/cm2, energy consumption, unit energy consumption, and total cost increased from 68.7 to 122.4 kWh/m3, 6.948 to 15.226 kWh/kg COD, and 0.85 to 1.838 $/kg COD, respectively. Practitioner points: EC-CBPAC process has greater COD, NH3-N, and turbidity removal efficiency than EC process. COD and turbidity achieved their optimum disposal efficiencies at 92% and 91%, respectively, at pH 5 The most efficient disposal efficiency for NH3-N was observed to be 40% at pH 9.5. EC-CBPAC process increased removal efficiencies for COD, NH3-N, and turbidity by 20%, 19%, and 38%, respectively, compared with EC alone. The turbidity, NH3-N, and COD disposal fitted PSO model due to high correlation values (R2 0.94–0.99).

    Application of electrocoagulation process for the disposal of COD, NH3-N and turbidity from the intermediate sanitary landfill leachate

    Ogedey, Aysenur; Oguz, Ensar

    This study aims to determine the COD, NH3-N and turbidity disposal efficiencies from leachate in the Bingöl landfill and highlight the electrocoagulation (EC) process’s performance in removing these pollutants. After establishing that landfill leachate was intermediate aged, its characteristics were identified using physical, chemical and elemental analyses. Six parallel-connected electrode plates with stainless steel as the cathode and aluminium as the anode were used to construct an electrocoagulation cell. After a 40-min treatment interval, the optimal disposal efficiencies for COD and turbidity from the leachate were determined to be 87% and 62%, respectively, at pH 5. Following a 40-min reaction, BOD5 concentration and BOD5/COD ratio were determined to be 85.75 mg O2/L and 0.64, respectively, at pH 5. At a NaCl concentration of 10 mM, the optimum disposal efficiency for NH3-N was determined to be 33%. The reaction kinetics matched pseudo-first-order (PFO) kinetics due to high correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.93–0.99) in removing COD, NH3-N and turbidity under different experimental conditions. The optimal reaction rate constants were determined as 2.93 × 10−2 min−1, 1.92 × 10−2 min−1 and 7.3 × 10−3 min−1 for the disposal of COD, NH3-N and turbidity, respectively. Energy consumption, unit energy consumption and total consumption cost rose in the EC process when the current density was augmented from 15 to 25 mA/cm2.

    COD removal from leachate by electrocoagulation process: Treatment with monopolar electrodes in parallel connection

    Tanyol, Mehtap; Ogedey, Aysenur; Oguz, Ensar

    This study examines the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from landfill leachate generated from the municipal landfill site of Bingol, Turkey. The effect of parameters such as current density, pH, and inter-electrode distance during the electrocoagulation (EC) process on COD removal of the process was investigated. Moreover, for COD removal, the energy consumption and operating costs were calculated for iron electrode under the EC conditions. COD removal efficiency was 72.13% at the current density of 16 mA m-2, pH of 8.05, and the inter-electrode distance of 9 mm at the detention time of 60 min with iron electrode and the COD concentration was reduced from 6,100 mg L-1 to 1,700 mg L-1 by EC. The highest value of the electrical energy and electrode consumptions per kg of COD in the optimum conditions were determined as 0.055 kWh kg-1 COD and 3.43 kg kg-1 COD and the highest operating cost value was found to be 1.41 US$ kg-1 COD for 0-60 min time intervals.
