Resumo
Os efluentes de curtume caracterizam-se por possuírem elevadas concentrações de compostos tóxicos, tais como: cromo, amônia, sulfatos e compostos orgânicos de baixa biodegradabilidade, por isso o tratamento desses efluentes é extremamente difícil. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo comparar a eficiência de tratamento de efluentes de curtume de duas linhas experimentais, em escala piloto, compostas por: reator UASB simplificado em forma de “Y” seguido de um Biofiltro Aerado Submerso (BF) e somente um BF, operadas simultaneamente, recebendo o mesmo efluente pré-tratado físico-quimicamente, por meio de um decantador de coluna e um floculador de manta de lodo. As linhas experimentais foram montadas junto à estação de tratamento de efluentes do curtume Fuga Couros Jales Ltda., na cidade de Jales-SP. O monitoramento das linhas de tratamento foi dividido em 4 etapas operacionais distintas: 1aetapa, a partida do sistema experimental, 2a etapa, adição do coagulante sulfato de alumino ferroso, 3a etapa, aumento da taxa de aeração nos BFs e 4a etapa, aumento do TDH nos reatores. Em cada etapa, foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros: alcalinidade total, acidez volátil, cromo total, DBObruta, DQObruta, fósforo total, nitrato e nitrito, nitrogênio total e amoniacal, oxigênio dissolvido, pH, sólidos, sulfato, sulfeto e temperatura. A eficiência média de remoção de DQO e DBO, na linha 1, foi de 66% e 73%, respectivamente. Na linha 2, a eficiência média de remoção de DQO foi de 47% e de DBO foi de 49%. A baixa eficiência de remoção de DQO, nas duas linhas, é devido as elevadas concentrações de sulfato afluentes ao tratamento biológico, resultando numa baixa relação DQO/SO4 2-, cerca de 1,2. Apesar da eficiência de remoção de DBO, na linha 1, estar próxima da porcentagem mínima estipulada na legislação estadual, cerca de 80%, o efluente das duas...
The tanning effluents are characterized for its have high concentrations of toxicity compounds, such as: chromium, ammonia, sulfates and organic compound of low biodegradability, the treatment for those effluents is extremely hard. The present work has as objective compared the tanning effluents treatment efficiency of two lines experimental devices on pilot scale, composed for: line 1 - simplified UASB reactor on “Y” form following the Submerged Aerated Biofilter (BF) and line 2, only the BF reactor were operated simultaneously, receiving the same effluent pre-treated by physic-chemical devices, through a column settler and a sludge blanket flocculator. The experimental devices were installed in the tanning effluents treatment plant of the Fuga Couros Jales Ltd., at the Jales-SP city of. The treatment lines was monitoring on four different operational steps: 1st.step, start-up of the experimental system, 2nd step, addition of the coagulant ferrous aluminum sulfate in the pre-treatment devices, 3rd step, increase of the aeration rate in BFs and 4th step, increase the reactors HDT. On each step, the following parameters were analyzed: total alkalinity, volatile acidity, total chrome, BOD, COD, total phosphorous, nitrate and nitrite, total nitrogen and ammonia, dissolved oxygen, pH, solids, sulfate, sulfide and temperature. The COD and BOD removal efficiency average, in the line 1, was 66% and 73%, respectively. In the line 2, the removal efficiency average of the COD was 47% and the BOD was 49%. This low removal efficiency of COD, at two lines, is due the high sulfate inlet concentrations to the biological treatment, that resulting in a low COD/SO4 2- rate, about 1.2. In spite of the removal BOD efficiency, at line 1, reach the minimum state legislation requisite, about 80%, the effluent of the two treatment lines doesn't attempt the effluents discharges patterns, established by the environmental legislation.
