Enhanced reducing leachate pollution index through electrocoagulation using response surface methodology.

Addressing the urgent need to effectively manage landfill leachate as a harmful flow for human health and the environment, this research investigates how electrocoagulation (EC) processes could alleviate the pollution potential of leachate. So far, no experimental study has been carried out on reducing the leachate pollution index (LPI) under the EC process. For this purpose, in this novel research, the LPI was utilized as a key metric to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment process. Central Composite Design (CCD) as a subset of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied to enhance the LPI parameters decreasing percentage. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance and multivariate regression and 3D plots assessed variable interactions. Under optimal conditions, it showed removal of 97.48 % for COD, 91.42 % for BOD
