Evaluación de la opuntia ficus indica (cactus) como coagulante natural para el tratamiento de agua potable de la empresa Emservilla en el municipio de Ubaté

Access to water resources is fundamental for the basic needs of human beings anywhere in the world, it is required to satisfy the consumption of drinking water in chemical, oil and domestic industries, it should be noted that it is a vital component for life and growth of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, it is important to search for new green technologies that are friendly to the environment that are not toxic and that reduce the consumption of chemical products, while fulfilling the same characteristics of chemical coagulants, in this case it is described theoretically through search engines such as Researchgate, SciELO, Dialnet, World Wide Science and Google Scholar. and adding, with a database from the Ministry of the Environment and Agriculture, business reports that contribute to the construction of this project. In this research project it is necessary to look for industrial processes, to obtain a coagulant from plant extracts such as Opuntia Ficus Indica, not only does this natural coagulant exist to be evaluated, there are other species derived from bacteria and plants that are they can, study and replace as natural coagulants, in order to find processes that are sustainable and economical. In addition, that they are safe for implementation in drinking water treatment plants in Colombia. It is a theoretical study to solve small problems due to the use of chemical coagulants, causing long-term diseases. However, this natural coagulant studied in a liquid and solid form has properties that prevent diabetes and others.
