NORMA, D. et al. Electrocoagulation and Anodic Oxidation Integrated Process to Treat Leachate from a Portuguese Sanitary Landfill. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2012, vol.30, n.3, pp.221-234. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201203221.
The electrochemical treatment of leachate samples from a Portuguese intermunicipal sanitary landfill was carried out using combined electrocoagulation/anodic oxidation processes. The electrocoagulation (EC) was performed with iron consumable anodes, at different initial pH, with and without stirring, at different applied potentials. In the anodic oxidation (AO) assays, a boron-doped diamond anode was used and applied current densities of 10 to 30 mA/cm2 were tested. The influence of the experimental conditions of the electrocoagulation pretreatment on the anodic oxidation performance was also assessed. In the EC assays the lowest iron and energy consumptions per mass of organic load removed were obtained at initial pH of 4 in the unstirred assays. In the combined treatments, the highest average current efficiency in the anodic oxidation was obtained for the samples with EC pretreatment performed at pH of 6. For the combined treatment with EC pretreatment run at natural pH of 8.6, an increase in AO current density led to a decrease in average current efficiency.
