Given the growing trend to explore biofuels as a renewable energy source with less environmental impact and considering thatthe transesterification by basic catalysis is the most used in the biodiesel purification, it becomes importantperform treatments order to reuse of wash water biodiesel. In this sense, the objective of this study was to apply and compare photolysis (UV) followed by advanced oxidation treatment; UV/H2O2; Fenton (Fe2+/H2O2) and photo-Fenton (Fe2+/UV/H2O2)as well as perform toxicity tests using seeds lettuce (Lactuca sativa) before and after treatment of effluents.washing water was collected in biodiesel industry located in Caetés - PE. Biodiesel obtained from cotton oil was washed sequentially with two portions of one hundred liters of water. It was found pH values of 3.8 and 3.4; The minimum turbidity of 158 NTU and a maximum of 7.369 and EC was 0.25 and 0.86, minimum of 160,000 and maximum of 184.000 mg.L-1 COD, BOD ranging 830 and 2,150 mg.L-1 and the content of oils and greases varied 2,852 and 21,761 mg.L-1, respectively for first and second washing water. After application of photolysis process, reduction occurred (82.6% and 72.5%) for the water turbidity resulting from two washes.For the first rinse water, UV/H2O treatment resulted in a reduction of turbidity (91.4%) and COD (70.4%). For water resulting from second wash, reduced turbidity (84%) and in COD (80%), determined by photo-Fenton process. Through toxicity tests using lettuce seeds, it was proven that the best IG% occurred in treatments photolysis (95.3%) and UV/H2O2 (92.8%)
