Abstract：
:The poultry slaughterhouse wastewater has a high pollutant load, mainly organic matter, and nutrient content. The nitrogen and phosphorus discharge can cause eutrophication of the receiving water bodies. Electrocoagulation has been studied for several pollutants removal from different sources. The objective of this work was to evaluate the electrocoagulation process in the poultry slaughterhouse wastewater treatment using both iron and electrodes to remove total nitrogen and phosphorus. After the raw and polished wastewater characterisation, a 2³ Central Composite Rotatable Design was applied to evaluate the current density, initial pH, and electrocoagulation time influence on the nutrients removal and to find the optimum condition of nutrients removal. Once the optimum condition for nutrient removal was stablished, other physicochemical, microbiological, and ecotoxicological parameters, as well as the treatment cost, were investigated to determine which electrode material was the most efficient. For raw wastewater, applying the optimum treatment condition of 20 mA cm-2 current density, initial pH 6.2, and time of 20 min, the nitrogen and phosphorus removal presented similar for both electrode materials. Besides being cheaper ($ 4.13 m-3), iron electrode treatment presented better Chemical Oxygen Demand, oils and greases, solids, and ecotoxicity removal. For polished wastewater, the treatment with aluminum electrode was more efficient under the applied current density of 30 mA cm-2, initial pH 8 and time of 10 min, obtaining the lowest cost $ 3.89 m-3. In the iron electrode case, the final pH exceeds the limits established by local legislation requiring correction for release into water bodies.
