An electro/Fe2+/peroxydisulfate process was used to remove COD from landfill leachate.
An empirical correlation between persulfate concentration and COD value was obtained.
COD removal by oxidation and coagulation was quantitatively determined.
Effects of pH0, current density, Fe2+ and PDS dosage on COD removal were investigated.
62.2% COD was removed at 60 min, [PDS]:[Fe2+] = 62.5 mM:15.6 mM, pH 3 and j = 13.89 mA/cm2.
