Adaptation for human consumption of physical properties of Carrizal River waters, Ecuador, through efficient microorganisms and filtration with zeolites
Abstract:
With the objective of evaluating physical characteristics of waters for human consumption from the Severino, Julian and Balsa en Medio localities located in the micro-basin of the Carrizal River, Ecuador, treated by purification strategies, five treatments were evaluated: Incubated with 5 ml/l of EM.1 (R) and filtered in Cuban zeolite; Incubated with 5 ml/l of EM.1 (R) and filtered in Ecuadorian zeolite; Incubated with three doses of autochthonous microorganisms (5, 10 and 15 ml/l). The experimental design was completely randomized blocks, with four repetitions. Comparisons of means were made through orthogonal contrasts. It was found that regardless of the location and source of water sampled, statistically significant advantages were found for the variables turbidity, total solids and hardness when using doses of 15 ml/l autochthonous microorganisms. Similar results were obtained when the Ecuadorian zeolite …
