摘要
The decrease of quality and availability of waters induces the research of hyphenated technologies for improving purification processes. The paper is devoted to the water treatment of a lack which accumulates a diversified pollution arising from a lot of industries. The investigated lack water contained heavy metals, fecal bacteria and high chemical pollution as measured by its chemical oxygen demand (COD). An electrocoagulation was applied as water pretreatment of a nanofiltration process. The electrocoagulation was carried out in a batch experiment with two parallel aluminum plates of 15 cm(2). Water analysis showed a decrease of the COD from 60 to 5 mg L-1, depending upon current density, current charge and solution pH. Thanks to electrocoagulation efficiency, the most probable number (MPN) of bacteria decreased from 2500 to 2 MPN/100 mL. This disinfection allowed the performing of a continuous coupling treatment of electrocoagulation and nanofiltration by using a cylindrical aluminum anode and an organic Nanomax50 membrane respectively.
