Study of the hydraulic correlation in the removal of pollutants from synthetic wastewater by means of a filter with Musa Paradisiaca

Background: The objective of this work was to decontaminate synthetic sewage from fouracid blue (BRL) dye, with characteristics similar those the textile industry, determine correlation between flow rate, permeability and removal hexavalent chromium (Cr+ 6), Cupper (Cu), chemical oxygen demand COD color using Paradise Muse filter bed. Methods: three concentrations BRL wastewater were prepared, determining initial Color, pH, COD, Cr +6 Cu. In addition, hydraulic fiber determined in four types cut. filtered a filtration cell cuts, speeds, time used for these tests 180 minutes. Water samples collected every 5 minutes then analyzed laboratory. Simple exponential smoothing performed on data obtained, statistical analysis variance ANOVA 2 factors. Results: results show that velocity are correlated removal, Cr+ 6, best treatment use 1 cm high which 77.92% 70.01% respectively. contrast, 6 at low removing up 80% concentration contaminant Cu 3 88.69%. Conclusions: It Musa Pardisiaca is capable absorbing contaminants, but effectiveness depends conditions water, cut velocity. it important mention that, order lower heavy metal concentrations, rates should be used.
