Treatment of pound water at a sea surface landfill site by electrolysis

Abstract

In Japan, the number of sea surface landfill sites accounts for 0.62% of the total number, but their landfill capacity accounts for 27.69% of the total capacity. This is approximately 24.1 times the size of inland landfills. In addition, the sea surface landfill is an important facility for accepting disaster waste in the wake of recent disasters. We believe that sea surface landfill facilities will be an important part of Japan's future waste treatment and landfill and waste management. We have confirmed that it is possible to electrically decompose and remove residual chelates, chelate-derived COD and nitrogen, and non-chelate-derived COD and nitrogen. We will confirm the same electrolytic decomposition of chelate- and chelating agent-derived COD and nitrogen in residual water discharged from sea surface landfill sites.
