Abstract
QUINCHIA, Adriana María; IRWIN, Susan and URIBE RAMIREZ, Ana María. DISEÑO DE UNA METODOLOGÍA DE SELECCIÓN DE SITIOS PARA MONORRELLENOS DE LODOS PAPELEROS. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2007, n.7, pp.127-136. ISSN 1794-1237.
The wastewater treatment at paper industry that uses recycled fibers as one of its raw materials generates a sludge rich in cellulose fibers, which once dehydrated is called "paper waste". This waste has become an environmental problem because of its high generation rate. Although several alternatives of valorization have been studied, in Medellin none of them has been implemented on an industrial scale; the necessity is still there, that is why the land disposal of this waste appears as the most immediate way to manage it. Combined with the problem of disposition, it is the selection of the suitable site to make it, for which a methodology to be applied in the evaluation and selection of the optative sites for the disposition of remainders of paper industry was developed.
Keywords : paper waste; final disposal; viability matrix.
