Abstract

Abstract: This degree work "Design of a Bioremediation system for the recovery of the tailings dam of the mining civil society GOLDMINS located in the Zaruma canton, province of El Oro" deals with the design of a soil recovery and remediation system using the bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, which was distributed through a sprinkling system throughout the mining pile, The phytoremediation was carried out by cultivating 12,000 colinos of the Chrysopogon zizanioides plant, which allowed us to raise the pH of the soil from 4.53 to 7.23 and to absorb heavy metals such as lead, mercury, zinc and copper, resulting in a soil suitable according to Ecuadorian soil quality standards.
