Bittern contains a high ionic strength that can be used as an alternative coagulant in wastewater treatment. The magnesium content in the bittern could promote the removal of suspended particles and nutrients as settleable precipitates. This would create a more compact and manageable sludge.

Conventional biological treatments used in most Indonesian landfill sites are mostly ineffective in treating stabilized landfill leachates to meet the standard regulation. Thus, a combination of biological and electrochemical process is offered to successfully treat leachates containing a high concentration of organic and nitrogenous compounds. In this study, a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) was applied prior to electrochemical oxidation by using boron-doped diamond (BDD), Ti/IrO, and Ti/Pt anodes with applied current of 350, 400 and 450 mA.

An attempt has been made to improve the treatment efficiency of mature landfill leachate prior to the existing biological treatment. In this study, electrochemical oxidation (EO) was applied as a pre-treatment to remove organic contaminants and was simultaneously combined with electrodialysis (ED) to remove ionic constituents, such as ammonium and phosphate. A laboratory-scale electrochemical reactor was designed by utilizing a carbon graphite anode and a stainless steel cathode and separated by an anion exchange membrane (AEM) and cation exchange membrane (CEM), creating a three-compartment reactor.
