Item NeutroMag-D: una solución para minimizar el impacto ambiental ocasionado por derrames líquidos ácidos y/o básicos en su cadena de producción, abastecimiento, transporte y disposición(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Suárez Galíndez, Jairo Roberto; Ramírez, Jonathan PelegrínThe environmental impact of the industrial sector caused by accidental spills of acids and bases generates the need to generate proposals for chemically friendly solutions that mitigate this type of mishaps and contribute to more sustainable industrial processes. In this context, an alternative solution is proposed through the evaluation and study of an optimal absorbent material and the use of an amphoteric product. This analysis was carried out in the company Quimicol S.A., which characterized the occurrence of spills of hazardous liquid substances and the ability of their operators to manage them from an environmental educational and occupational health approach. Likewise, the response and load capacity of various retaining absorbent materials were evaluated. Through laboratory tests, the components were analyzed to determine the most effective concentration of the Magnesium Sulphate monohydrate anhydrous solid mixture (MgSO4) and Magnesium Oxide (MgO) for the neutralization of the spills. Based on the results observed in the training and knowledge of workers, a guide was designed to strengthen the actors on human and environmental effects, precautionary measures and protocols for action in response to this emergency and finally, a didactic tool with the protocols and the way the product is applied when the spill occurs.
