Abstract
ABSTRACTThe present study investigated the efficiency of physicochemical processes of coagulation and flocculation and Fenton advanced oxidative process in reducing the parameters of colour, turbidity and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of a real effluent from a textile industry. During the physicochemical process, the efficiencies of different coagulants (aluminium polychloride (Polifloc 18), ferric chloride (Acquafloc FC40), aluminium sulphate combined with organic coagulant (AST) and aluminium sulphate) and nonionic (FX NS2), cationic (FX CS6 and FX CS7) and anionic (FX AS6 and AN905) flocculants were tested. After the tests, 72.60% of COD, 36.25% of colour and 98.59% of turbidity were removed, using aluminium polychloride coagulant and AN 905 flocculant. It was also evaluated the effect of Fenton advanced oxidative process application in removal of colour, COD and turbidity of the effluent previously treated through the physicochemical process. Removals of these parameters were analysed in two different pH ranges (pH 6.0 and 7.0). In both pH 6.0 and pH 7.0, reductions were observed in all analysed parameters, obtaining 170.78 mg O2/L of COD, 22.19 mg/L of colour and 0.80 NTU of turbidity (at pH 6.0) and 151.80 mg O2/L of COD, 26.73 mg/L of colour, 0.94 NTU of turbidity (at pH 7.0), which demonstrates the efficiency of this process in the reduction of parameters analysed.
