The removal of heavy metals from diluted aqueous solutions (in the range of 10-3 to 10-4 models.dm-3) do not produce good results using classical methods which cant t reach enough removal efficiency in agreement with environmental quality standards. The use of ionic flotation as an efficient method to remove heavy metals has been studied as a promising technique to treat large amount of effluents in a relatively small units which may be used combined with others techniques a coagulation. The use of electroflotation joins some advantages to the flotation process, mainly due the small bubble size formed on the electrodes surface. The electrocoagulation, applied with the electroflotation, has been studied as a complementary operation working with the electroflotation. The aim of this work was to project and build an electroflotation/electrocoagutation experimental unitm some of its important variables and the influence of its variables in the removal of zinc and cadmium from synthetic solutions wich contains 20 mg.l-4 of each metal concentration and sodium dodecil sulphate (SDS) as an anionic collector. The influence of some important parameters: pH, collectos concentrations, tension, current density and ionic strength were analyzed. An introduction of a pair of electrodes of aluminum and stainless steel to produce the coagulant agents was also investigated to bring the electrocoagulation of the particles. The results showed that the experimental unit can bring satisfactory results of removal of the metals withim the range studied. In the best results, 96 percent of removal of cadmium was obtained using SDS as a collector in stoichiometric proportion equal to three and inlet pH around seven.
