Aplicação da tecnologia de eletrofloculação na recuperação do corante índigo blue a partir de efluentes industriais Translated title: Application of the electroflocculation technology for the recovery of indigo blue from industrial effluents

Translated abstract

The indigo blue dye is widely used in the textile industry. When discarded, besides polluting the environment, it affects the appearance and transparency of aquatic bodies, causing damage to flora and fauna. The removal of this dye from industrial effluents is difficult due to its resistance towards degradation. This work proposes the recovery of indigo blue by electroflocculation, as a subsidy for the treatment of effluents from the jeans industry.
