The present work deals with the problem of the effluents of textile dyeing, specifically those of dyeing of cotton fabrics with reactive type dyes which are the most used in the national industry to give bright colors and to offer better solidities to the wash (permanence of the color in the textile), nevertheless part of the dye that is not fixed to the fabric is hydrolyzed with the water and remains in the bath of dyeing, forming with the present auxiliary of dyeing the effluent that is discharged to the system of sewage without previous treatment or very basic to adapt the pH. A small amount of dye is capable of giving intense colors that hinder the natural passage of light, putting at risk the aquatic life of animals and plants. It is also important to remove the dyes before being treated by traditional methods such as those used in chlorine since they can generate organochlorine compounds of a carcinogenic nature. The proposed method was that of electrocoagulation for which electrodes were made from recycled aluminum (scrap metal of aluminum). The effluent and dyeing recipe, in which the quantities of dyes and auxiliaries used in the dyeing bath are indicated, were provided by a textile company of the city of Lima; the dyes used were studied by UV-Vis spectrophotometry to determine the residual concentration in the tests carried out. It was carried out the initial characterization of the effluent obtaining a strongly alkaline nature pH=11.66 with color load of Absorbance (λ=517 nm.) 2.045 u.a, turbidity 172 NTU and COD 1 581.3 mg/L among the most important values that are related to the presence of the dye. The conductivity had high values of 78 800 us/cm due to the presence of the sodium chloride used as electrolyte in the dyeing process, so its presence favors the electrocoagulation process saving in electrolyte addition and requiring less cell potential so less energy is consumed. The tests were carried out in the range of pH 6.5-8.5 with previous pH conditioning to values close to 7. In a first stage, tests were carried out on volumes of 150 mL of the effluent at different times at a current density of 5A/dm2 to find the amount of aluminum that achieves a good removal and from the aluminum-dye ratio removed, work was done in the batch reactor at laboratory scale with monopolar electrodes connected in parallel for 2-liter volumes at current density conditions 4 A/dm2, amperage 17 A, average voltage 2. 65 V and residence time=51 min achieving global removal of reactive type colorants of 99.23% with similar values for each colorant present in the effluent, turbidity 99.65% and COD 42%.
