Background: Nowadays, synthetic azo dye compounds as environmental pollutants are widely used in different application. In this study, the treatability of polluted effluents by reactive black 5 azo dye was investigated in a lab scale batch experimental reactor using electrocoagulation and electrocoagulation/flotation processes with aluminum electrodes.Methods: In the present study, an electrocoagulation flotation reactor in a lab scale with an approximate volume of 1 liter was prepared which is equipped with four Al electrodes with dimensions of 200*20*2 mm. The effects of operational parameters such as initial pH, current density, contact time, initial dye concentrations and flotation were evaluated. Findings: The results indicated that the highest dye removal rates in the electrocoagulation process were observed in natural pH of the solutions, 12.71 mA/Cm2 current density and 100 mg/l initial dye concentration at 30 min contact time. In these conditions, up to 81% of dye was removed in the electrocoagulation process. Based on the result obtained in this study, it was found that much higher dyes removal could be achieved by electrocoagulation/flotation processes (86%) process than that by electrocoagulation process in the same conditions.Conclusion: Electrocoagulation and electrocoagulation/flotation processes could be a promising process using aluminum electrodes for dye removal.Key Words: Electrocoagulation, Flotation, Removal, Reactive Black 5, Aluminum Electrode, Dye removal
