This is a characterization study and proposal for treatment of woodwaste leachate produced in laboratory. Woodwaste leachate or stormwater runoff or log yard runoff are generated when wood waste resulting fi-om the manufacturing process, are arranged inappropriately, making the interaction with water, generally climate rainfall, resulting in a dark colored liquid which can contam n a number of components with the potential negative impact on aquatic environments. The effluent generated in the laboratory was studied by two separate experiments. In Experiment A, in polyethylene bottles, were mixed water and sawdust in proportion 9:1, in an open system and room temperature for 90 days. At times 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 75, 80 and 90 days, the solution was filtered and brought to the laboratory for analysis. In Experiment B, stored in a plastic container (bucket type) about 5 kg of sawdust, where the bottom was adapted a drain to collect effluent. This system was exposed to sunlight and rainfall climate, so as to simulate the minimum conditions for generation ofleachate fi-om a waste pile of wood in the real case. In both observed the generation of a liquid amber beige to dark, strong characteristic odor, slightly acidic (pH 5.53 to 6.97), high oxygen demand (BOD 17 — 310 mg.L-1; COD 857 — 3161 mg.L-1; DO 0.63 — 5.56 mg.L-1), high charges of organic matter (TC 170.93 — 425.19 mg.L-1, TOC 167.66 — 415.66 mg.L-1 and TIC 2.22 — 34.05 mg.L-1), high solids concentrations (SS 10 — 23 mL.L-1; TSS 463 — 1330 mg.L-1; TDS 31 — 640 mg.L-1 and turbidity 10.0 — 638.5 UNT). Due to these characteristics has been proposed a physicochemical treatment for runoff produced by combining the processes of coagulation/flocculation and oxidation with potassium permanganate, which resulted, respectively, in the removal of 20.95% and 88.53 % of COD, 98.18% and 43.31% of color, 40.45% and 98.16 of turbidity, 65.71% and 100% of TSS, per process. The overall removal efficiency of the proposed treatment was 90.93% of the values of COD, 98.97% in true color values, 98.90% of turbidity and 100.00% values of TSS.

Estudo da utilização de polímeros naturais como auxiliares de floculação no tratamento de água para fins industriais

This work is to evaluate the effectiveness of new alternatives for use with natural species of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seed angico red (Anadenanthera peregrina (L.) Speng) and seed-eye dragon (Adenanthera pavonina L.) also known as ‘falso angico’, sprayed with a particle size of 0.074 mm, sieving for water treatment as natural polymers, helping the flocculation on removal of main parameters in turbidity and color through tests in the scanner equipment using Jar Test static bench adding a chemical coagulant (aluminium sulfate). The powder of polymers were obtained after washing, drying, crushing, grinding, sieving, and used in the coagulation process, flocculation and sedimentation to test the efficiency of each one, when used alone and when used in conjunction with the chemical coagulant, followed by the analysis of physical-chemical parameters pH, turbidity, apparent color, true color and temperature. The results showed that the polymer of okra presented better efficiency in removing turbidity and color compared to the same doses used with other polymers considered and when reducing the dosage of coagulant used in conjunction with the polymers, it was observed a great removal of turbidity, especially with the conjunction of coagulant and polymer of okra, with the removal efficiency of 94% of turbidity and 98% of color with optimum dosage of okra equal to 1.0 mg/L and coagulant equal to 10 mg/L. Therefore it is possible to reduce the dosage of the coagulant when used in conjunction with the auxiliary flocculation, as the polymer of okra can be used for water treatment and facing the possibility of multiple economic and ecological uses in industry.
