This research was intended to apply electroanalytical technologies, such as electrocoagulation for removal of organic matter present in sisal juices to reduce the environmental impact generated by age-old cultural practice such as the extraction of the fiber (sisal) of Fourcrea c. In the present study, we evaluated the behavior of chemical oxygen demand (COD) through an electrochemical process under different parameters of electric current, voltage and pH to evaluate the optimal operating parameters in the treatment of the waste water, allowing mathematically model the response of this process and propose an alternative to mitigate the pollution generated in the bodies of water.
