This study examined the treatability of leachate with the electrocoagulation process and its optimization using the response surface method. The three‐parameter optimization process and a 5‐level, 6‐replicate central composite design were included in the investigation on a set of 36 pieces created for the study. A second‐order full polynomial approximation model was applied to evaluate the results of the optimization studies, which were performed for the removal of chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, total organic carbon, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, and NH3‐N. When these parameters were compared, the appropriate working conditions obtained for current density and time were 20 mA cm−2 and 60 min, respectively, at pH 8. In this way, both pH adjustment and power costs were reduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
