The amination water (AW) effluent stream from the industrial production of the trifluraline herbicide was submitted to an oxidation-coagulation treatment with potassium ferrate, combined with advanced oxidation processes. The experimental results obtained by analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the oxidation-coagulation-Fenton process, evaluating the variables pH (A), Fe(VI) concentration (B), and H2O2 concentration (C), demonstrated that the regression equation resulting from the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) experimental design, for the quadratic model, was ηAbs (%) = 36.9– 21.58A + 8.37A2 + 1.36B + 0.92B2 + 1.08C + 1.52C2 + 1.27AB – 1.34AC + 1.33BC. The maximum absorptiometric color reduction occurred at pH 3, with corresponding maximum amounts of iron and hydrogen peroxide. The absorptiometric color and COD reduction were 96% and 57%, respectively. For the oxidation-coagulation-photo-Fenton process, the analyzed variables were pH (A), Fe(VI) concentration (B), H2O2 concentration (C), and temperature (D). The regression equation resulting from the quadratic model was ηAbs (%) = 38.3 – 20.2A + 8.12A2 – 0.27B + 3.73B2 + 0.3C + 3.6C2 + 1.67D + 3.1D2 + 1.72AB + 0.51AC – 1.82AD + 0.74BC – 1.11BD + 0.03CD. The ANOVA response showed that the highest absorptiometric color reduction occurred at pH 3, with respective maximum amounts of iron and hydrogen peroxide at 60°C. The maximum efficiencies achieved by the proposed treatment process for the trifluraline effluent stream were 95% and 85%, for absorptiometric color and COD reduction, respectively.
