Descripción
Effluents from gelatin production plants are highly complex and difficult to treat by conventional methods. The Electrocoagulation (EC) technique was evaluated to treat effluents that contain a heavy load of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and a large quantity of suspended solids. This paper presents results of laboratory scale studies that compare the performance of Chemical Coagulation (CC) with aluminum salts and EC with aluminum electrodes. The heavy organic load and suspended solids in this kind of wastewater lead to low performance in the secondary treatment. SEM-EDS were used to analyze the sludge formed in the EC process and the removal mechanism of pollutants from the wastewater. The structure and composition of the precipitates at different operation conditions, such as pH, show that EC has increased efficiency of COD removal, compared to CC with the same dose of aluminum (Al+3) as coagulant. The efficiency of COD removal was 73.6% with EC and 55.6% with CC. The in-situ formation of zeolites in the EC process explains the high efficiency of this treatment compared to the CC process. The zeolite formation during the EC process in the wastewater of the gelatin production plant has not been reported until now.
