Abstract
Landfill leachate is a type of complex organic wastewater, which can easily cause serious negative impacts on the human health and ecological environment if disposed improperly. Electrochemical technology provides an efficient approach to effectively reduce the pollutants in landfill leachate. In this review, the electrochemical standalone processes (electrochemical oxidation, electrochemical reduction, electro-coagulation, electro-Fenton process, three-dimensional electrode process, and ion exchange membrane electrochemical process) and the electrochemical integrated processes (electrochemical-advanced oxidation process (AOP) and biological electrochemical process) for landfill leachate treatment are summarized, which include the performance, mechanism, application, existing problems, and improvement schemes such as cost-effectiveness. The main objective of this review is to help researchers understand the characteristics of electrochemical treatment of landfill leachate and to provide a useful reference for the design of the process and reactor for the harmless treatment of landfill leachate.
