    Determinación de las características físicas de sustancias reactivas: piroclastos volcánicos, zeolita clinoptilolita, zeolita modernita, de origen ecuatoriano para el tratamiento de agua
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Civil, 2021-04) Amaya Díaz, Ana María; Morales Fiallos, Fabián Rodrigo
    For the elaboration of the research work, it began with the identification of the problem, in which currently the bad treatment, misuse and waste of water have caused great environmental damage on our planet. Despite this, in our society it has not been possible to raise awareness about the possible future environmental consequences. For this reason, the determination of the physical characteristics of reactive substances was proposed: Volcanic Pyroclasts, Clinoptilolite Zeolite, Mordenite Zeolite of Ecuadorian origin for water treatment. For the methodological execution of the work, the bibliographic analysis of the origin and the main physicochemical characteristics of the reactive substances was carried out. Likewise, a hydraulic permeability and porosity measurement system was designed and implemented. The efficiency of a biofilter is increased with the application of microorganisms from porous media, to decompose pollutants obtained in wastewater. Its effectiveness is obtained due to the properties and characteristics of the material such as: porosity, water retention capacity and degree of compaction. The more porosity characteristics the material has, the greater the retention of contaminants in the effluents. It is worth mentioning the use of AASHTO, ASTM, SUCS standards depending on the desired physical characteristics: gravity, specific size, unit weight, granulometry, compactness of the material, porosity, sphericity. Using equipment such as Scanning Microscope, Clemex Vision Software, Electric Sieve, Sieves, Permeameter.
