Exploración de posibilidades de generación de energía eléctrica a partir de lixiviados procedentes de residuos sólidos orgánicos

Abstract

In this proyect an experimental scheme was developed , in order to get the obtaining of electric energy from leachate coming from organic waste and recycled materials, that has three phases , at the first one necessary components were obtained to the system operation , for this the first thing that was produced was a leachate with certain grade of control from organic waste, one of the other parts of this method of electric energy generation are the electrodes , which interact in an important way at the system for which two types were used for the experiment ,classified according to their source ,some purchased and others acquired from recycled materials, at the second phase a primary characterization of materials was made , where physicochemical tests were applied to leachate in order to evaluate electrolytic capacity and the efficiency in power generation with regard to the time variable decay ; for which a pilot assembly was built which allowed to observe at the same way changes about the electrodes used, at the third phase a Mounting improving the shortcomings of the previous observed system was made,evaluating deeper the changes and the production of electric energy at the system , noting the capacity of usability in light sources ; finally , residues obtained by the system used in the final stage were evaluated through the theoretical observation of products generated, determining the possibility of being used in composting processes and their ability to degrade in the environment; Finally the respective conclusions were made.
