were measured in the reactor effluent samples and the combined effect of the studied factors was analyzed by means of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Optimal operation conditions for TOC destruction were 400°C, 30 min and 100 % OE, being 500°C, 30 min and 100 % OE for TN destruction. Contrary to what has been reported in similar studies, the results suggest that it is possible to accomplish the simultaneous TOC and TN destruction in leachate wastewater by SCWO treatment at 400°C, 100 % OE and residence times longer than 30 min and without using a catalyst, either in batch or in a continuous process, as long as both the oxidant and the wastewater are mixed and heated together at the reaction temperature.Keywords: Landfill leachate, SCWO, TOC destruction, Total Nitrogen destruction. rEsumENEl tratamiento de lixiviados por medio de diferentes procesos fisicoquímicos y biológicos ha sido ampliamente estudiado. Sin embargo, ningún proceso logra las eficiencias de destrucción requeridas en cuanto a materia orgánica y nitrógeno, razón por la cual el tratamiento se realiza por medio de tecnologías combinadas. La oxidación en agua supercrítica o SCWO, proceso que se lleva a cabo a temperaturas y presiones superiores a las del punto crítico del agua en presencia de una fuente de oxígeno, se ha aplicado exitosamente al tratamiento de distintos tipos de aguas residuales de forma eficiente. Por lo tanto, este trabajo presenta un estudio experimental de la oxidación en agua supercrítica de lixiviados de relleno sanitario en un reactor batch, en el rango de temperatura de 400-500°C, tiempos de reacción de 15 a 30 minutos y excesos de oxígeno (OE) de 100 % a 300 %. Se midieron las eficiencias de destrucción de carbono orgánico total (COT) y nitrógeno total (NT), y se determinó el efecto combinado de los factores estudiados por medio del Análisis de Varianza (ANOVA). Las condiciones de operación óptimas para la destrucción de COT fueron 400°C, 30 min y 100 % OE, y 500°C, 30 min y 100 % OE para el NT. A diferencia de lo reportado en estudios similares, los resultados sugieren que es posible llevar a cabo la destrucción simultánea del COT y el NT en los lixiviados por medio de SCWO a 400°C, 100 % OE y tiempos de residencia de más de 30 min sin usar un catalizador, ya sea en un proceso batch o continuo, siempre y cuando tanto el oxidante como el agua residual se mezclen y se calienten juntos a la temperatura de reacción.Palabras clave: Lixiviados, SCWO, destrucción de COT, destrucción de nitrógeno total.
In March of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak forced people to lock themselves inside their homes and begin the process of transitioning from face-to-face activities at work, schools and universities to a 100 % virtual method. Even when Communication Technologies (ICT) and online platforms have seen growth over the past two decades, including various virtual libraries developed by database publishers or web-based training programs that appear to shorten the learning curve (Lee, Hong y Nian, 2002), many people were unprepared for this transition and all of them are now dedicated to entering the new reality. In this order of ideas, the activities that have traditionally required the assistance of the staff have had to adapt with the use of new tools, which meet daily needs. A clear example is the field work collection tasks. In this group, there are different types such as surveys, photographs, reviews or on-site inspections. The current work presents the use of tools for collecting, validating, analysing and presenting data remotely and in real time. All of them based on the ArcGIS Online platform.
