aguas residuales de lavandería, Moringa oleifera, color, turbidez, coagulación-floculaciónResumen
En este estudio preliminar se evaluó el uso de semillas de Moringa oleifera como coagulante natural para el tratamiento de ARL, con el objetivo de determinar el método de preparación más efectivo y la dosis óptima para este tipo de efluente. Se analizaron tres formas de preparación del coagulante: en polvo sin desengrasar, desengrasado y disuelto en solución salina (NaCl 0.250 M al 5 %). Los mejores resultados de remoción de color aparente (CA) y turbidez se obtuvieron con dosis de 1 g/L (78.8 % CA y 83.86 % turbidez), 0.5 g/L (84.35 % CA y 85.16 % turbidez) y 50 mL/L (92.62 % CA y 93.74 % turbidez), respectivamente. Estos resultados indican que la preparación más efectiva fue el coagulante sin desengrasar disuelto en solución salina, al menos para los parámetros evaluados. Los hallazgos demuestran que el coagulante a partir de las semillas de Moringa oleifera representa una alternativa eficiente y sostenible para el tratamiento de aguas residuales de lavandería. Sin embargo, se requiere profundizar en la eficiencia del proceso para la remoción de otros contaminantes presentes en este efluente, así como el estudio de los factores que afectan su eficiencia.
