Abstract

Granular solid residuals are produced by different industries in Mexico. Some of these are considered dangerous because they are stored in open areas contaminating and affecting the flora, fauna, and aquifers, and occasionally to the human being. These solid residuals coming from mines and diatomaceous earth are known as jales (náhualt derivated from xalli, it means sand). The jales have a high content of cyanide and heavy metals. These high contents are commonly out of the limits permitted by the Mexican standards. On the other hand, the “diatomita” (diatomaceous earth) is not as dangerous as the “jales”, however, this needs a treatment to eliminate the occluded organic material. This is normally used by producers of gelatin, antibiotics, industrial grease and oil, sugar refining, etc.
