Abstract—In this paper, the removal of COD from landfill
leachate using aluminum electrode by the electrocoagulation
method was investigated. The studies were run with the parallel
plate monopolar aluminum electrodes and the effect of pH and
current density on removal efficiency of COD and energy
consumption were determined. The initial COD concentration
of 4100 mg/L was reduced to 1763 mg/L with the removal
efficiency of 57% at the current density of 75 mA/cm2 and pH 5.
Index Terms—Aluminium electrode, landfill leachate,
treatment.
