Abstract

Wastewater from the textile industry presents several organic and inorganic pollutants, contributing to 54% of the dyes released into the environment in the world. Textile dyes are an environmental and health problem resulting from the advance of industrialization. The consequence is a reduction in the dissolved oxygen level, harming aquatic life. In addition, chemical and biological oxygen demand levels are altered. Regarding the effects on the human organism, azo dyes indicated mutagenic and carcinogenic potential. In this context, chemical, biological, physical, and electrochemical techniques have been studied to treat wastewater from the textile industry. Biological processes generally have long operating times and are ineffective in removing toxic compounds. The chemical coagulation technique produces large amounts of sludge and has slow kinetics. Electroflocculation has been an alternative due to its versatility and high dye removal efficiency. Therefore, this review discussed the effect of variables such as bubble formation, electrode arrangement, distance between electrodes, solution pH, and temperature on the electroflocculation process.
