Abstract: One of the biggest challenges faced by humanity \ntoday is to provide potable water to most of mankind. \nTherefore, there is an urgent necessity to develop \ninnovative techniques, more effective and cheap, \nto treat waste waters. Electrocoagulation is a technology \nknown since the beginning of 20th Century, it \nhas evolved and been used for the \ncurrent wastewater treatment in paper, mining and \nheavy metal industries. Besides, electrocoagulation \nhas been applied to treat waters containing \nalimentary loses, fat, dye and suspended particles, \namong other elements. From this perspective, \nelectrocoagulation is an electrochemical process \nwhich can be successful in its application, \noptimizing its factors and solving the challenge of \nprotecting, keeping and recovering water as a \nresource.
