Classical electrocoagulation and indirect electrocoagulation were applied to an artificial dairy effluent, by imposing a 0.2 A current intensity and varying the treatment time. The influence of the supporting electrolyte and the initial pH on the turbidity, phosphates and organic matter removals was...
