Tratamento de efluente da indústria de processamento de coco utilizando eletroflotação

Abstract

BRAZILIAN INDUSTRIAL COCONUT WASTEWATER TREATMENT BY ELECTROFLOTATION. Electroflotation (EF) with aluminum electrodes was applied in the treatment of Brazilian industrial coconut wastewater. The results show that EF with polarity inversion is a very good treatment when compared to others. The removal of pollutants in the wastewater after EF with polarity inversion was 96.3% of oils and grease, 99% of color and 66% of total organic carbon. Also, metal concentrations, turbidity and total solids were reduced. Keywords: electroflotation; wastewater treatment; industrial coconut wastewater.
