Desechos líquidos: El caso de las salas de belleza
(Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica), 2012) Castillo Cortés, Marcela; Coto Campos, Juana María; Herrera Núñez, Jacqueline
El objetivo principal de este estudio preliminar consistió en el análisis de las fortalezas y las debilidades en el manejo de desechos líquidos en cinco salas de belleza para apoyar estudios posteriores. Adicionalmente, se realizó un muestreo de aguas residuales en dos de los salones de belleza, S1 y S2, en los que se recolectaron muestras compuestas durante un día laboral. Los valores promedio de pH, amonio, DQO y grasas y aceites superaron los límites permitidos en la legislación costarricense, estos fueron respectivamente: 7,96 ± 0,01; 0,38 ± 0,01 mg N/L; 77 ± 13 mg O2/L y 1905,0 ± 0,1 mg/L, para S1 y 8,88 ± 0,01, 57,4 ±0,2 mg N/L; 240 ± 128 mg O2/L y 2775,0 ± 0,1 mg/L, para S2. Se evidenció que la calidad del agua y el cumplimiento de la normativa vigente son dependientes del tipo de productos utilizados (biodegradables o no, con o sin amoniaco). Aunque los volúmenes de vertido son intermitentes y pequeños, estos desechos pueden impactar negativamente el ambiente.
Waste management: a study on generating organic fertilizer from oil and grease trap systems
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2022-01-31) Rojas-Vargas, Julián; mora barrantes, jose carlos; Herrera Vargas, Juan Pablo
The grease and oil trap systems (GOTS) of four university food service establishments (FSE) were assessed and treated to evaluate the potential use of the sludge collected to produce compost. The sludge collected from each FSE was kept in a drying bed for 30 days (SDB), during which time calcium oxide was frequently added for stabilization. The sludge deposited monthly was reduced to half after the drying process and was then deposited in a composter and mixed for a period of 22 days with constant agitation. The compost obtained was treated with degrading enzymes and was denominated enzymatic composting (EC), while the remaining compost was not treated with enzyme and was denominated non-enzymatic compost (NEC). The total composting cycle of the sludge lasted 83 days, during which time various physical and chemical analyzes were conducted in the three types of substrates (SDB, NEC, and EC). The total time of the research was 2.5 years. The percentages of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium suggest the use of the three substrates as organic fertilizer. A recommendation resulting from this research is to evaluate the sludge quality by mixing it with other substrates such as fruit peels with high nitrogen content and the sludge from wastewater treatment systems.
