CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE SLUDGE COMING FROM WASTE FROM THE LOCALPRODUCTION ARRANGEMENT TEXTILE AND APPAREL TO CREATE A FERTILIZING HYDROGEL WITHAPPLICATION IN THE ENHANCEMENT OF AGRIBUSINESS IN PERNAMBUCO
Effluent treatment; residual waters; laundries; cultivation.
The state of Pernambuco is considered one of the largest textile industrial centers in the country. Among the cities that are part of this Local Productive Arrangement (APL) of Agreste Pernambucano stand out: Caruaru, Toritama and Santa Cruz do Capibaribe. In this sense, the present study aims to chemically characterize the sludge from several laundries in Caruaru for application in several APL in the State from Pernambuco. More specifically, to promote environmental, municipal and state, in addition to interested companies, the levels of concentration of compounds organic and inorganic compounds present in the sludge. Initially, the collection of 11samples of sludge deposited directly from the effluent treatment stations of the Laundries in Caruaru. The material was stored and prepared in the Laboratory of Medicines, Technologies, Energies and Environmental Solutions at UFRPE, where he was pH and organic matter analyzes were carried out. Subsequently, the samples were prepared to carry out chemical analysis of the sludge in the GEOSOL laboratory, using the technique (ICP/OES). From the analyzed data, satisfactory results were obtained for application of sludge with fertilizer fertilizer in APL crops in the region.
