Efficient electrochemical removal of ammoniacal nitrogen from livestock wastewater: The role of the electrode material.

ABSTRACT: Wastewater from livestock farms contains high concentrations of suspended solids, organic contaminants, and nitrogen compounds, such as ammoniacal nitrogen. Discharging livestock effluents into water bodies without appropriate treatment leads to severe environmental pollution. Compared to conventional treatment methods, electrochemical oxidation exhibits higher nitrogen removal efficiencies. In the present work, the electrochemical removal of ammoniacal nitrogen from real livestock wastewater was investigated through a lab-scale reactor. Preliminary experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of different anode materials, including boron-doped diamond and iridium/ruthenium-coated titanium, on the total nitrogen removal efficiency using synthetic wastewater. Boron-doped diamond,
