| Summary: | In the mining industry, it generates waste and by-products, which can cause environmental, economic and social impacts, if not properly managed. The company Canteras de Los Andes S.A, located in Montería (Colombia) carries out the extraction and transformation of ornamental rocks, mainly limestones. During the process of cutting and polishing the rock, wastewater and sludge are generated, which are not managed properly, affecting natural resources such as the Sinú river, which receives direct discharges from the process. The objective of the research is: Evaluate the potential use of the sludge generated in the rock transformation process, at the Canteras de Los Andes S.A. Plant, as a circular economy strategy, and thus contribute to the fulfillment of the Development Goals. Sustainable Development (SDG), mainly SDG 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible production and consumption) within the framework of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. The research has a mixed approach applied, based on a review of secondary information, followed by a qualitative analysis at the laboratory level of the sludge generated in the cutting process of the rock, the approach and evaluation of alternatives for the management and use of sludge, concluding that the sludge management system in the company must be optimized, and establishing its potential for use as biosolids or natural fertilizers, as it contains Phosphorus (P), Iron (Fe), and Nitrogen (N), among other elements. |
