Popis: Treatment of industrial wastewater has grown in the last years and industries have been continuously searching improvements in the treatment`s processes based on CONAMA 357/2005 resolution. In this context, the electroflocculation may be a promising alternative due to its economic and environmental benefits, allowing water reuse. This work aims to study the treatment of oil production water by electroflocculation process, with aluminum electrode, in a batch reactor. The study focused on removal of OG, color, turbidity and boron. The results indicate that the process of electroflocculation is a technically viable alternative for removal of OG, color and turbidity, obtaining average removals of 84%, 83% and 83%, respectively. However, it wasn’t efficient to remove boron.
