- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the efficiency of gelatin obtained from a sacrifice waste mixed with aluminum sulfate and used in water clarification processes. Methodology: Water from the Malambo swamp was analyzed for a study and a simple sampling was conducted for its collection. A jug test was conducted using doses of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 mg/L of a 9:1 ratio gelatin-aluminum sulfate mixture and the aluminum sulfate as specified in NTC 3903 of 2010. Results: The gelatin-aluminum sulfate mixture removed 82.63% of the turbidity of the water analyzed, while the chemical coagulant removed 83.25% of the turbidity. Conclusions: The coagulant mixture proposed in this research shows clarification properties very close to those used commercially, which boosts its potential for use.
