Análisis del aserrín como filtro en el tratamiento de aguas residuales proveniente de la Industria de Textiles Andelas Cía. Ltda.

Abstract

This work was carried out with the negative environmental impact generated by wastewater from the textile industry, to improve its characteristics before being discharged into the sewerage system, looking for a more ecological and low cost alternative. In the Methodology, issues that lead to the adequate development of the research are addressed, which describe the productive process of the industry, its location, distribution, description of the infrastructure, implementation of the project and its operation: this was established and the population was shown , verifying the variables, with a collection of information and samples according to what is necessary. The data obtained in the development of the cycle were interpreted and tabulated, as well as the information regarding the water inlets and the waste water outlet.The results of the parameters studied are compared with other bibliographies to verify the hypotheses. Subsequently, the objectives established in the investigation are verified. With the present experimental work suggests that the sawdust for its efficiency of 44%, be studied subtly to use it, since its effectiveness varies depending on these parameters: the size of the particles, the optimum quantity, the type of sawdust that is needed for this treatment, and in this way could be used as filtering material in the treatment of wastewater from the textile industry, considering that it is good for retaining solids, oils, metals, etc. and that a natural absorbent.
