Coagulación-Floculación en el Tratamiento de Lixiviados en Rellenos Sanitarios

Abstract

The construction sector industry is one of the sources of pollution to the environment, this being one of the main concerns since it is reflected as a problem to the detriment of the ecosystem and the habitability ofpeople, in this case the contamination is directly related to the operation of the sanitary landfills built and the leachates that produce the solids deposited there; The coagulation-flocculation process is a primary treatment widely used today because they carry out a very effective decontamination process because it has the ability to remove solids. Environmental contamination with regard to leachate is inevitable, but it can be mitigated and there are solutions that can be put into practice, one of these is the reduction of solid waste and a better disposal of them, since with growth population in Colombia and the world generating an increase in solid waste production, as waste increases there will also be an increase in leachate and therefore more organic contamination of soils and water.
