Résumé

Chemical Coagulation (CC) and Electrocoagulation (EC) processes using iron as coagulating agent were compared while treating aquifer water contaminated by a relatively high concentration of total chromium (CrT = 19.0 mg L⁻¹). A continuous semi-pilot comprising of EC (or CC), followed by flocculation, sedimentation and sand-filtration steps was used to remove CrT from water in order to get drinking water. A ratio of Fe/CrT ≥ 3 was required to reach the best efficiency of treatment using EC and CC. More than 99% of CrT was removed and residual CrT concentration below 0.05 mg L⁻¹ (the limiting value recommended by WHO) could be obtained using the both configurations. However, CC increased the concentration of dissolved solids above the guideline recommended for drinking water.
