Resumo

PRODUCTION.The wastewaters from biodiesel production contain as primarily wastes sodium or potassium soaps, fatty acids, glycerin, alcohol and other contaminants.In general, these waters are chemically unsuitable for release to any water body, so, it is necessary the adoption of techniques for the treatment of this effluent.In this review, electrochemical, biological, physicochemical, and combined treatments reported for the removal of the wastewater containing pollutants come from biodiesel production have been summarized.In addition, the recovery, the reuse, the energy production and the synthesis of new compounds from the organic matter contained in this kind of effluent are also reviewed.
