Diffusion Phenomenon of a Pollutant Flowing into a Lagoon

Abstract:

In this paper it is presented a mathematical model in the context of physics/transport/diffusion/dispersion about a contaminant that is a product of wood fiber cooking in a pulp cellulose plant, which is currently being thrown in a lagoon that does not have any water treatment process. The objective is improving the environmental conditions prevailing according to an environmental technology program of water treatment process required by the Government of Mexico through regulations and certifications in water treatment industries, and the prediction of the involvement of the contaminant in fishes from the Lagoon.
