Criterios para seleccionar calizas para la remineralización de agua desalada mediante electrodiálisis reversible (EDR)

Abstract

[ES] La escasez de recursos hídricos en la cuenca mediterránea hace necesario optimizar los tratamientos de potabilización mediante técnicas de desalación. En esta línea se ubica la ampliación de la ETAP (Estación de Tratamiento de Agua Potable) del río Llobregat (Abrera, Barcelona), con una etapa de electrodiálisis reversible (EDR) para la eliminación de la salinidad. El resultado es un agua de muy baja salinidad y corrosiva y, en consecuencia, debe ser remineralizada antes de su suministro. Entre los distintos materiales que pueden ser utilizados el uso de caliza (CaCO3) es el más simple de manejo y con un coste económico bajo. Se han seleccionado cinco calizas de disponibilidad comercial se han caracterizadas físicamente y químicamente y se han comparado los datos obtenidos en experimentos a escala de laboratorio con los de la planta piloto. Los principales criterios de selección de una caliza para el proceso de remineralización del agua de EDR son la pureza a nivel mineralógico y quimismo y la textura. El grado de pureza determina la cantidad de caliza que puede reaccionar y equilibrar el agua, mientras que la textura influye particularmente sobre la generación de material particulado fino o MPF durante el proceso de remineralización. Ambas características determinan en última instancia el consumo de caliza y la eficiencia del sistema. Se recomienda estimar la capacidad de generar MPF mediante experimentos de tipo “batch” y caracterizar las muestras mediante el microscopio electrónico de barrido (SEM) antes y después del contacto de la caliza con el agua de la planta de EDR.

[EN] Water scarcity in Mediterranean regions has led to projects that increase water resources by desalination. In this context, it is planned to expand and improve the Drinking Water Treatment Plant (DWTP) of the Llobregat River near Barcelona (Catalonia, NE Spain), building the largest Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR) plant in the world. EDR desalinated water is highly reactive and, in consequence, its remineralisation is necessary before of human consumption. Running outlet water through limestone (CaCO3) is a simple and cheap process for remineralisation. Five commercially available limestones were characterized (mineralogical and chemical composition, BET surface area, SEM analysis) and compared experimentally at both laboratory and pilot-plant scales during the EDR remineralisation process. The main criteria in selecting a limestone for EDR water remineralisation are its compositional purity in terms of both mineralogy and chemistry, and its textural characteristics. Texture mainly influences the suspended particulate matter (PM) generation, i.e., consumption and system performance. To minimize the negative effects of this features an assessment, using SEM analysis and batch tests contacting limestones and desalinated water, of the capacity of PM generation is recommended.
