Avaliação da eficiência de wetland construído como unidade de polimento de efluente de tratamento secundário de lixiviado por lodos ativados

Uma das dificuldades a ser enfrentada na implantação de aterros sanitários é o tratamento adequado do lixiviado gerado e seu lançamento no meio ambiente dentro dos padrões estabelecidos pela legislação. O potencial poluidor do lixiviado está ligado principalmente aos altos valores de carga orgânica que promove a redução do oxigênio disponível (utilizado na degradação da matéria orgânica) em cursos dágua, prejudicando a fauna e a flora nesses meios. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o sistema de tratamento por wetland construído como unidade de polimento do efluente secundário de uma estação de tratamento de lixiviado de aterro de resíduos sólidos urbanos na Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro. Além dos parâmetros coletivos específicos e não específicos, também foram empregados o fracionamento pelo processo de separação por membranas e ensaios de toxicidade aguda. Os resultados mostram que o wetland tem uma ação positiva como unidade de polimento refletida na redução dos parâmetros turbidez (84%), DQO (19%), amônia (30%) e sólidos totais (3%) reduzindo, assim, os impactos ambientais do lançamento do lixiviado. Contudo, a qualidade do efluente final encontra-se acima dos parâmetros de referência de controle ambiental e mostra a necessidade de um efluente secundário de melhor qualidade. Os resultados mostraram também que altos valores de DQO inerte tanto no afluente (85% em média) quanto no efluente (93,5% em média) do wetland indicam que esses lixiviados apresentam natureza refratária confirmada pelos baixos valores de biodegradabilidade no afluente (20,5% em média) e no efluente (5% em média) do wetland. O fracionamento com membranas mostrou que o afluente e o efluente do wetland possuem maiores contribuições de moléculas na fração >1 kDa. Os ensaios de toxicidade com Aliivibrio fischeri mostraram que o afluente e o efluente do wetland possuem toxicidade aguda, sendo a mesma menor na faixa com moléculas menores.
