The objective of this project was to find optimum parameters for the development of bioremediation process of cyanidation tailings by addition of nutrients and microorganisms. It was tested the use of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) to stabilize metal ions through the formation of sulphides and; bacteria able to biodegrade cyanide (BC). Factorial experiments were conducted at level of columns. SRB from Cyanidation tailings were isolated and BC proceeded from pregnant solution of cyanidation. BSR and BC were adapted to tailings. A column test was performed to try: 1. the effect of using 1 and 10 mM lactate to increase the activity of BSR and 2. Addition of 0,1 and 1 mM sodium acetate and phosphoric acid to improve the activity of BC. In order to optimize parameters, it was tested in columns, effect of a mixed culture (SRB-BC) and nutrients (1 mM lactate and Acetate 1mM). Nutrients were fo...

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue encontrar los parámetros óptimos para el desarrollo de los proceso de bioremediacion de relaves de cianuración, mediante experimentos factoriales a nivel de columnas con la adición de nutrientes y el empleo de bacterias sulfato reductoras (BSR) para estabilizar iones metálicos mediante la formación de sulfuros y bacterias capaces de biodegradar cianuro (BC). Se aislaron BSR de relave y se usó un inoculo previamente aislado de BC. Se realizó una prueba de adaptación a relave y una prueba en columnas para probar: (1) el efecto del empleo de 1 y 10 mM de lactato para incrementar la actividad de BSR; y (2) adición de 0,1 y 1 mM de acetato de sodio y ácido fosfórico para mejorar la actividad de BC. Con las mejores condiciones encontradas se realizó una prueba a nivel de columnas donde se adicionó un cultivo mixto (BSR-BC) y una mezcla de lact...

La marca personal es un concepto nuevo dentro del mundo publicitario, al ser la imagen que proyecta las capacidades y talentos de la persona, pudiendo ser identificado por su individualidad, al ser una imagen que impacta en los medios de comunicación es lógico que empresas busquen contactarse con la persona para realizar publicidad usando su marca. Sin embargo, para hacer publicidad una marca personal es necesario su consentimiento de uso, el cual permite que la marca aparezca en las publicidades, pero hay casos en donde no se consigue el permiso de uso de la marca personal y aun así aparece en la publicidad, causando ciertos efectos que pueden afectar significativamente a la marca personal. Este presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo principal explicar los efectos del uso publicitario no autorizado de la marca personal, mientras que sus objetivos específicos son dete...

Daphnia magna is a test organism used in ecotoxicological assays of freshwater; however, traditional culture systems for this organism could result expensive, for that the aim of this research was to developed a new economic culture medium. With this purpose, 10 strains of D. magna were isolated, their population development was evaluated by total count of organisms and pregnant females using 3 different culture media: (A) alfalfa juice, (B) solved yeast and (C) a mixture of alfalfa juice plus solved yeast. Successful development of 4 strains was observed in the A medium, but the same strains failed to survive in the B and the C media. The 24h and 48h EC50 average values in acute ecotoxicological assays with potassium dicromate were 0,4045 mg/L ± 0,0389 and 0,1857 mg/L ± 0,0072 respectively. Also, acute ecotoxicological assays with these 4 strains were performed using potassium cyanide...

Los microorganismos acidófilos son predominantes en los ecosistemas de aguas ácidas de minas, encontrándose en abundancia la especie Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. El objetivo del estudio fue producir electricidad en Celdas de Combustible Microbianas (CCM) a partir del tiosulfato en el ánodo e ion férrico en el cátodo utilizando a la bacteria At. ferrooxidans LB151, la cual fue caracterizada morfológicamente y molecularmente. Las técnicas electroquímicas utilizadas fueron la cronoamperometría y la voltametría cíclica. La voltametría cíclica muestra picos de corriente de oxidación y reducción de los compuestos indicando que hay una interacción de la bacteria con la superficie del electrodo. La cronoamperometría mostró que la bacteria era capaz de producir electricidad al utilizar el tiosulfato con hierro. El voltaje generado por la CCM fue mayor que en la Celda de Comb...

Acidophilic microorganisms are predominant in the ecosystems of acid mine waters, being found in abundance the species Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The objective of the study was to produce electricity in the Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) from thiosulfate at the anode and ferric ion at the cathode using the bacteria At. ferrooxidans LB151, which was characterized morphologically and molecularly. The electrochemical techniques used were chronoamperometry and cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammetry show current peaks of oxidation and reduction of the compounds indicating that there is an interaction of the bacteria with the surface of the electrode. The voltage generated by the MFC is greater than the control cell, producing an average power density of 24.23 mW/m2 in 4 hours while the control cell produced an average power density of 3.41 mW/m2 in the same time. The total energy generat...
