“…Third, higher temperatures enhance the interactions between CBPAC particles and pollutants in the leachate. Moreover, the swelling of CBPAC particles at elevated temperatures accelerates the mass transfer of pollutants to the active sites on the CBPAC particles (Al‐Raad et al, 2020; Ülgüdür et al, 2022; Zhang et al, 2016). Therefore, the synergistic effect between EC and CBPAC increased the removal efficiencies of COD, NH 3 ‐N, and turbidity.…”

This study aims to improve COD, NH3‐N, and turbidity removal from Bingöl's leachate using a single‐reactor integrated electrocoagulation (EC)–coal‐based powdered activated carbon (CBPAC) process under various experimental conditions. In the EC‐CBPAC process, three stainless‐steel cathodes and three aluminum electrodes were connected to the negative and positive terminals of the power supply, respectively. The initial concentrations in the leachate were 1044 mg O2/L for COD, 204 mg/L for NH3‐N, and 57 NTU (or 71.25‐mg (NH2)2H2SO4/L) for turbidity, respectively. After a 40‐min EC‐CBPAC process, with a CBPAC dosage of 5 g/L and pH of 5 for COD and turbidity, and 9.5 for NH3‐N, the optimum removal efficiencies for COD, NH3‐N, and turbidity were achieved at 92%, 40%, and 91%, respectively. When the EC process was applied without CBPAC under the same experimental conditions, the removal efficiencies of COD, NH3‐N, and turbidity were 87%, 28%, and 54%, respectively. Before and after the EC‐CBPAC process, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, pore volume, and mean pore diameter of the CBPAC were found to be (888 m2/g, 0.498 cm3/g, and 22.28 Å) and (173 m2/g, 0.18 cm3/g, and 42.8 Å), respectively. The optimum pseudo‐first‐order (PFO) rate constants for COD, turbidity, and NH3‐N were determined to be 3.15 × 10−2, 4.77 × 10−2, and 8.8 × 10−3 min−1, respectively. With the current density increasing from 15 to 25 mA/cm2, energy consumption, unit energy consumption, and total cost increased from 68.7 to 122.4 kWh/m3, 6.948 to 15.226 kWh/kg COD, and 0.85 to 1.838 $/kg COD, respectively.Practitioner points EC‐CBPAC process has greater COD, NH3‐N, and turbidity removal efficiency than EC process. COD and turbidity achieved their optimum disposal efficiencies at 92% and 91%, respectively, at pH 5 The most efficient disposal efficiency for NH3‐N was observed to be 40% at pH 9.5. EC‐CBPAC process increased removal efficiencies for COD, NH3‐N, and turbidity by 20%, 19%, and 38%, respectively, compared with EC alone. The turbidity, NH3‐N, and COD disposal fitted PSO model due to high correlation values (R2 0.94–0.99).
