Influencia del campo electromagnético en la degradación de residuos orgánicos

Abstract

Abstract: The completion of this end of degree work is carried out in order to know the degradation time of the waste with respect to the influence of the electromagnetic field. This experimentaldesign allows the timely selection of organic waste, involving composting and thus transforming it into a product with added value.Different control variables were monitored, including pH, temperature, humidity and light, analyzing their effect on the degradation of organic waste with respect to time. For the experimental design, 6 piles were used with a weight of 1.15 kg of homogeneous organic matter with an alternation of dry and wet layers.The results of the application of electromagnetic fields are favorable to reduce the decomposition time of the organic matter during the composting process, however, the temperature had a decline in the last stage as a result of a moderately low percentage of humidity that led to the deathof beneficial microorganisms within the decomposition and finally the pH parameter was kept within the established ranges during the decomposition phases.
