Biofilter implementation with Minerals (Zeolite - Activated Carbon) for wastewater treatment in the Orquídeas Stabilization Lagoon, Cerro Colorado - Guayaquil

Abstract:

This document focuses on the implementation of biofilters based on minerals (Zeolite and Activated Carbon) on a laboratory scale, for the purification of wastewater from the Orquídeas Stabilization Lagoon, in order to reduce the contaminating parameters, it has and allow reuse of this resource. According to the study carried out, this document had the mission of evaluating and analyzing components such as zeolite and activated carbon, two materials that besides being minerals serve as a mechanism for filtration, absorption and elimination of contaminants. And according to their results in treatment of each one, the biofilter was identified and established in purification efficient.
