Diseño y construcción de un horno para fundir residuos de aluminio en la universidad técnica de manabí.

Abstract

The consumption of products in aluminum containers is increasing, which increases the amount of solid waste, in the case of the Technical University of Manabí, in the different establishment of sale of foods and drinks which are: bars and dining rooms, many containers containing students can be seen that can be used as raw material. for its foundry. For this, it is necessary to have a furnace that allows its melting. The objective of this degree work was to design and build a furnace to melt aluminum waste at the Technical University of Manabí in the city of Portoviejo, province of Manabí. The methods used were deductive, inductive, analytical method, while the types of research were quantitative, experimental, bibliographic, field. When carrying out this work, researchers are building knowledge based on their practical work. With the incorporation of the smelting furnace, it will be possible to reduce the amount of waste containing aluminum, at a final temperature of 1100°C.
