Estudio del aprovechamiento de residuos orgánicos de cultivos de flores (tallos de rosa) como biosorbente de cadmio para el tratamiento de aguas residuales

Abstract

In the thesis objective is to determine the adsorption capacity of cadmium organic waste crop of flowers (stems rose), as biosorbent for treating wastewater. Therefore, after a review of the literature two methods were applied: the first was to determine whether the biosorbent was able to retain cadmium metal ions and the second to set the maximum holding capacity metal or contaminant. The first experiment utilized a filling consisting of various amounts of previously dried rose stalks, ground and sieved into five beakers, with a specific amount of contaminant. For the second approach, we used a column filter system where water is recirculated by the biomass waste, in this case, rose stems.
