The Brazilian s Mint (CMB) is a national enterprise, with more than 300 years of experience in the production of values and security printings. The production of banknotes, carried out by the Departamento de Cédulas (DECED), consists of three printing stages: off-set, intaglio and typography, followed by finishing and semiautomated packing. The intaglio impression consumes cleaning solution, composed by caustic soda and sulfonated castor oil, for cleaning of the printing cylinder, producing an ink saturated wastewater. This wastewater presents low biodegradability, showing a BOD / COD ratio of approximately 1:4. In terms of treatability, the effluent treatment stations (ETS) has presented a conventional configuration, for biological means, has showed a low efficiency in the organic matter degradation of this effluent. With recalcitrant compounds, it s necessary the inclusion of a tertiary stage that allows its degradation by chemical means, allowing discarding it with less harmful characteristics to the environment. In this work, the Fenton reaction was applied in the DECED industrial wastewater due to its capacity of converting the organic matter into carbonic gas and water or, if it is used in pay-treatment, turn them into biodegradable (AGUIAR et al., 2007). Different conditions have been studied to measure the influence of different parameters in the reaction efficiency. The Fenton reaction consists in the hidroxyl radicals (HO ) generation, by different means, in sufficient quantities for the organic matter degradation. These radicals are produced from of peroxide hydrogen (H2O2) in reactions with different precursors like ozone (O3), UV light, ultrasound and iron salts (GOGATE and PANDIT, 2004). Here we restricted ourselves to the reactions with iron salts. Among the obtained results, it has been verified the minimun time for reaction in 10 minutes. The ratio between iron ions and hydrogen peroxide is lower than suggests the literature (1:2), against (1:3). Since the ferrous sulphate solution is very unstable, because the ferrous ions turn into ferric ions, straight addition of the salt was used. In industrial scale, the ferrous sulfate solution must be prepared in little quantities so that it has low time of stock, in order to not be degraded. The temperature, in the studied range, is a parameter that has little influence, since the efficiency reduction of the reaction was low. The iron used in the reaction did not demonstrate itself a new source of damages for the environment. In the used conditions, the iron concentration was near to maximum limit allowed by the legislation in the effluent treatment, just needing some adjustments to sort out the problem.
