Este estudio se evaluó un tratamiento acoplado de Electrocoagulación – Fitorremediación, con la finalidad de remover los metales pesados (Pb, Cu, Cd y Zn) presentes en agua residual minera y que esta agua pueda ser se reusóThis study presents the results of a coupled electrocoagulation-phytoremediation treatment for the reduction of copper, cadmium, lead, and zinc, present in aqueous solution. The electrocoagulation was carried out in a batch reactor using aluminum electrodes in parallel arrangement; the optimal conditions were current density of 8 mA/cm2 and operating time of 180 minutes. For phytoremediation the macrophytes, Typha latifolia L., were used during seven days of treatment. The results indicated that the coupled treatment reduced metal concentrations by 99.2% Cu, 81.3% Cd, and 99.4% Pb, while Zn increased due to the natural concentrations of the plant used. 1.Facultad de Química, UAEMe
