In this thesis report the aluminum anodization process was studied in 20% by weight sulfuric acid medium, keeping the electrolyte and amperage concentration constant at 1.5 A / dm2, in order to define an adequate process considering as main factors variable temperature and anodizing time; and the results obtained at the laboratory level were used to design a pilot plant, including an effluent treatment plant. The specimen used comes from an aluminum plate, type AA6061 alloy, thickness 0.25 mm, which corresponds to an alloy with Mg-Si. The dimensions of the specimens were 10 cm x 5 cm. Before starting the anodizing process, some specimens went through the polishing treatment to obtain a glossy finish. After that, the specimen went through the following phases: Degassing / pickling in sodium hydroxide, neutralized with nitric acid, brightened with a mixture of phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and glycerol, anodized in sulfuric acid medium, colored (if desired, the colored specimen ) and finally the sealing in water at 96 ° C. Subsequently, the thickness of the anodized specimens was measured with an optical microscope. The micrographs determined anodic layer thicknesses for anodized specimens at a constant temperature of 22ºC of 3.17; 2.55 and 3.5 microns for times of 50, 65 and 80 minutes respectively. At a temperature of 24 ° C, the micrographs determined thicknesses of 17.6; 5.99 and 5.87 microns for times of 50, 65 and 80 minutes respectively. In addition, the refractive index was also measured, which calculated the amount of aluminum that went into solution, this allowed to size the effluent treatment plant, besides taking measures to control the process. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed process, similar to the industrial processes of aluminum anodizing, obtained good results, since it is necessary at least the formation of thickness of 3 microns for indoor use and a thickness from 5 microns for outdoor use. The aluminum anodized pilot plant will be able to anodize pieces in various forms, according to market demand, under the safety and environmental standards, since the design has considered an effluent treatment plant for this activity, including recommendations for good process practices, minimizing negative socio-environmental impacts.
