El sorbente, o depurador, desempe\u00f1a un papel fundamental en el buceo con rebreather, ya que es responsable de eliminar el di\u00f3xido de carbono (CO2<\/sub>) del gas respirable del buceador. Peque\u00f1os gr\u00e1nulos o pellets absorben el di\u00f3xido de carbono exhalado (CO2<\/sub>) y permiten el paso del ox\u00edgeno. Este proceso qu\u00edmico permite que los rebreathers reciclen el aire exhalado, lo que limita el consumo de gas y permite inmersiones m\u00e1s prolongadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una vez saturado, el sorbente debe desecharse. El m\u00e9todo de eliminaci\u00f3n puede variar seg\u00fan la regi\u00f3n (debido a las regulaciones locales), as\u00ed como seg\u00fan la composici\u00f3n qu\u00edmica del depurador usado. Las recomendaciones de los fabricantes suelen ser contradictorias y pueden decir: \"Utilice una instalaci\u00f3n de eliminaci\u00f3n de residuos industriales calificada. Deseche los residuos de acuerdo con las leyes y regulaciones locales y federales\" o \"Puede desecharse en un vertedero de residuos dom\u00e9sticos\". El conocimiento del sorbente y sus componentes qu\u00edmicos es importante tanto para el buceo seguro con rebreather como para una pr\u00e1ctica responsable con el medio ambiente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo Funciona el Depurador?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

En este proceso, el carbonato c\u00e1lcico queda atrapado en el sorbente y los ionen hidr\u00f3xido utilizados se regeneran para poder seguir reaccionando con m\u00e1s CO2<\/sub>. Tras un uso prolongado, el sorbente se satura de carbonato c\u00e1lcico y debe sustituirse. Hay diferentes factores que pueden influir en la vida \u00fatil del sorbente, como la temperatura del agua, la carga de trabajo del buceador y el tipo y tama\u00f1o de las part\u00edculas de los gr\u00e1nulos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this process, the calcium carbonate stays trapped in the sorb, and the used hydroxide ions are regenerated so they can continue to react with more CO2<\/sub>. After prolonged use, the sorb becomes saturated with calcium carbonate and needs replacement. Different factors such as water temperature, the diver\u2019s workload, and the type and particle size of the pellets can impact the sorb\u2019s lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eliminaci\u00f3n de Depuradores<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Debido a los productos qu\u00edmicos que se utilizan, la eliminaci\u00f3n del sorbete debe hacerse con cuidado. Si se consultan las hojas de datos de seguridad de los fabricantes, a menudo se lo clasifica como \u201cresiduos inorg\u00e1nicos que contienen sustancias peligrosas\u201d. El hidr\u00f3xido de calcio puede da\u00f1ar potencialmente la vida marina y los ecosistemas si simplemente se vierte al agua, una pr\u00e1ctica que se denuncia con bastante frecuencia, por ejemplo, en algunos barcos de vida a bordo. El Tratado Internacional para Prevenir la Contaminaci\u00f3n por los Buques (MARPOL), que Estados Unidos ha respaldado, proh\u00edbe arrojar cualquier basura \u201cal agua desde un buque que se encuentre en un lago, r\u00edo, arroyo o cualquier agua costera hasta 3 millas de la costa\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En los Estados Unidos, el sorbete usado se considera err\u00f3neamente no peligroso con demasiada frecuencia. Dependiendo de la composici\u00f3n qu\u00edmica exacta del material depurador usado, desecharlo en la basura municipal normal puede ser ilegal y perjudicial para el medio ambiente. Si bien el material depurador totalmente usado estar\u00eda compuesto en su totalidad de carbonato de calcio no peligroso, lo cierto es que normalmente no lo es, lo que significa que puede contener algo de hidr\u00f3xido de sodio t\u00f3xico para el medio ambiente y, por lo tanto, no ser\u00eda adecuado para la eliminaci\u00f3n municipal habitual. Siguiendo estrictamente las regulaciones, el hidr\u00f3xido de sodio se considera un residuo peligroso y debe eliminarse adecuadamente en un sitio de recolecci\u00f3n de residuos peligrosos local, normalmente ubicado junto a los vertederos. Seg\u00fan el C\u00f3digo de Regulaciones Federales de los EE. UU. (CFR T\u00edtulo 40, Parte 261), es en \u00faltima instancia responsabilidad del generador del residuo potencialmente peligroso (en este caso, el buceador con rebreather) deshacerse de \u00e9l siguiendo todas las regulaciones locales, estatales y federales.

Seg\u00fan el C\u00f3digo de Regulaciones Federales de los EE. UU. (CFR T\u00edtulo 40, Parte 261), es en \u00faltima instancia responsabilidad del generador del residuo potencialmente peligroso (en este caso, el buceador con rebreather) deshacerse de \u00e9l siguiendo todas las regulaciones locales, estatales y federales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El buceador con rebreather que bucea en diversos lugares debe asegurarse de comprender todas las leyes y pr\u00e1cticas aplicables para cada jurisdicci\u00f3n donde genera, almacena y elimina desechos potencialmente peligrosos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buenas Pr\u00e1cticas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Independientemente de su ubicaci\u00f3n, existen algunas pr\u00e1cticas recomendadas que debe recordar. Siga siempre las pautas de eliminaci\u00f3n proporcionadas por el fabricante del sorbente o del rebreather y confirme que este m\u00e9todo de eliminaci\u00f3n cumple con todas las leyes de eliminaci\u00f3n locales, estatales y federales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Si bien los fabricantes de rebreathers y sorbentes pueden brindar orientaci\u00f3n para la eliminaci\u00f3n, en \u00faltima instancia es responsabilidad del buceador determinar si el sorbente usado se considera un residuo peligroso o adecuado para los desechos municipales y desecharlo de conformidad con todas las leyes y regulaciones aplicables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
