Resumen

Actualmente las aguas subterráneas mantienen altos niveles de contaminación por nitrato, incremento de actividades agrícolas. En consecuencia, recientes investigaciones se han enfocado en estudiar Sustratos Sólidos Orgánicos Naturales (SSON) para biorremediar las aguas subterráneas, obteniendo resultados alentadores. Sin embargo, aún existen aspectos que deben profundizarse, tales como el aporte de nutrientes desde los SSON, que son fundamentales para la desnitrificación. Para ayudar a clarificar estos aspectos, investigamos Typha angustifolia L. (T. angustifolia) como SSON. En este artículo presentamos resultados de ensayos de desnitrificación realizados en reactores batch con material detrítico de T. angustifolia colectado en invierno y verano. La liberación de DQO por hidrólisis durante el ensayo de invierno (115 mg DQO/día) casi duplicó al valor obtenido en verano (60 mg DQO/día). Se observaron similares rendimientos de desnitrificación usando carbono orgánico liberado por lixiviación e hidrólisis, lo cual sugiere similitud entre estos carbonos. Además, se comprobó que el nitrógeno biodisponible en el material detrítico fue usado por las bacterias para síntesis celular. Los hallazgos de este estudio indican que es viable la desnitrificación del agua subterránea usando T. angustifolia; además, aportan conocimientos relevantes sobre el uso de materiales naturales como fuentes alternativas de carbono.
