Physiochemical treatment of residual water from the cromatization process

Abstract
The problem of environmental pollution brings with it issues that affect the development of all living beings, including plants, animals, and humans [1]. Water is one of the main natural resources affected by industrial activity, as many industrial processes depend on it for product manufacturing, or it is used as an essential auxiliary service in unit operations. Therefore, water treatment procedures must be established to help conserve its natural state and ensure its preservation for future generations [1]. Concern about environmental pollution has fostered research and development of sustainable technologies, as well as increasingly stringent regulations to ensure that industrial processes, through the use of clean technologies, reduce pollutant levels in effluents. Most companies generate wastewater with high concentrations of pollutants because treatment methods are economically unviable and have low effectiveness. In industry, chromium is used in: tanning processes, textile pigments, alloys, catalysts, anti-corrosion agents, batteries, fungicides, metal coatings, electroplating, etc. The objective of this study was to establish a methodology for reducing chromium VI to chromium III in wastewater, as well as its control to comply with the parameters established in Standard NOM-001-SEMARNAT-1996 [22]. The results obtained after treatment ranged from 0.059 to 0.99 mg/L of chromium III. It is concluded that treatment with sodium metabisulfite is a good option for chromium reduction. The key finding of this study is that the water can be reused for irrigating green areas.
