In this paper, the treatment of leachate by electrocoagulation (EC) has been investigated through a batch process. The leachate sample was sourced from the Odayeri Landfill Site in Istanbul. Initially, the efficiency of EC was compared to classical chemical coagulation (CC) based on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. Results indicated that EC, under a current density of 348 A/m², demonstrated superior treatment performance compared to CC. Subsequently, the effects of various process parameters, such as electrode material, current density ranging from 348 to 631 A/m², pH, treatment cost, and operating time, on COD and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄-N) removal efficiencies were examined. The analysis showed that aluminum electrodes achieved a greater COD removal efficiency (56%) compared to iron electrodes (35%) at the conclusion of a 30-minute operating period. Additional EC experiments focused on optimizing ammonia removal efficiencies by analyzing the impacts of current density, mixing, and aeration. Overall, the findings suggest that electrocoagulation can effectively serve as a step in a comprehensive leachate treatment strategy.
