Soluciones de Azul de Metileno tratadas con Plasma Jet de Aire: Un Paso hacia una Alternativa de Remediación de Aguas Residuales
Resumen
Este estudio investiga el comportamiento de concentración de las soluciones de azul de metileno (MB) y parámetros específicos de calidad del agua antes y después del tratamiento con plasma de aire a presión atmosférica, con el fin de evaluar cómo los efectos físicos y químicos inducidos por el plasma influyen en la degradación de MB. El análisis espectrofotométrico, realizado en soluciones de MB de 0 a 13 mg L⁻¹, permitió establecer una correlación lineal (R2) entre la densidad óptica (OD) con la concentración (R² ≥ 0.95). Al mismo tiempo, se midieron el potencial de hidrógeno (pH), el potencial de oxidación-reducción (ORP), la conductividad eléctrica (EC) y los sólidos disueltos totales (TDS) para evaluar el impacto de la adición de MB al agua desionizada y la exposición al plasma. La curva de calibración presentó una pequeña desviación de 3.9%, atribuida a la variabilidad en la preparación. El análisis espectrofotométrico indicó una tasa de degradación de MB de aproximadamente 25%, asociada con la generación de especies reactivas que acidificaron las soluciones y así como con posibles efectos físicos como la cavitación.
