Análisis de la zeolíta como material filtrante en el tratamiento de aguas residuales provenientes de la curtiembre “PROMACC” ubicada en la ciudad de Ambato provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The present research project is carried out in order to determine the degree of water purification of the tanneries based on filtering material known as Zeolite. The investigation is carried out in the company PROMACC of the city of Ambato, due to the presence of contaminated water for the waste to the sewage system of the surroundings of the factory, that is why we proceed to analyze it and justify the hypothesis to verify if the Zeolite can be used as filtering material in the treatment of wastewater inside the tannery, so a metal structure is made, with a dimension of 2.10 x 0.80 in which a tank is placed on top reservoir of 55 gallons with a 1-inch pbc pipeline specified in the project is proceeded to determine a flow rate of 0.105 lt / min its irrigation in a plastic container in which a 45.5cm x 34 stainless steel plate is placed , 5cm, which helps the dispersion of residual water throughout the material. The physical and chemical analyzes of COD, BOD 5, and sulfides were carried out; establish whether these waters are suitable for sewage disposal. When establishing the process, it is determined that the application of the zeolite .
