Highlight
• A membraneless, 3.5-L bioelectrochemical reactor was established.
• Biocathode was adopted and intermittent aeration at cathode was applied.
• The BES removed 86.5% of COD and 97.9% of NH4+–N in raw leachate.
• Cathodic denitrification via BES reaction achieved removal of total nitrogen.
A membraneless, 3.5-L bioelectrochemical reactor with biocathode and anoxic/oxic zones was established for treatment of raw landfill leachate. At 24 h hydraulic retention time and 3 kg chemical oxygen demand (COD) m−3 d−1 volume loading, the tested BES could remove 86.5% of 20100 mg L−1 (COD) and 97.9% of 1330 mg L−1 NH4+–N in raw leachate. The corresponding maximum power density (Pmax) was 2.85 Wm−3 and internal resistance Rint was 47.5Ω in aerating period, and was 2.70 Wm−3 and 52.5Ω in the non-aerating period. Owing to the efficient cathodic denitrification via BES reaction, the removal of total nitrogen can exceed 90%, much higher than those reported in the literature.
