In Brazil, the use of energy produced by power plant generators is in expansion. Power plants use large quantities of water and chemical products that after use end up in effluents. Hydrazine is used in water systems for corrosion control, because of its excelents oxygen scavenging capacity. The present work was conducted to study the treatment of effluents containing hydrazine, under a technological approach, with the purpose of contributing to a systematic of effluents control in power stations. The process studied in this work was the decomposition of hydrazine with hydrogen peroxid in presence catalyst cooper íon. The experiments were made in laboratory scale, using synthetic effluents with initial concentration of hydrazine at the levels 10 and 100 mg/L, with initial pH values 7 and 9,5, temperature fixed at 220C, with addition of st oichiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide, with and without addition of cooper ion catalyst. It was conclued that the process its viable for reduction of hydrazine concentration in effluents with pH 9,5, below to levels under legislation (1mg/L), using stoichiometric amounts of hydrogen peroxide together with 1 mg/L of cooper ion, in times less that 30 minutes and ambient temperature. Therefore this work showed that the process is adequate in satisfying the Brazilian legislation for discharge of effluents into water bodies according to regulation CONAMA 20, letter P-031/01 clause 2 article V, 09 February 2001.
