Article Synopsis
The study examined how various factors affect the effectiveness of electrolysis in treating landfill leachate pollution, focusing on both organic and inorganic pollutants.
Researchers tested parameters like electric potential, hydraulic retention time, NaCl concentration, pH, electrode materials, and electrode spacing.
The optimal conditions for effective treatment were found to be 60 V electric potential, 120 min hydraulic retention time, 5% NaCl solution, and the use of aluminum and iron electrodes, resulting in high removal rates of contaminants like COD and heavy metals.
