Adsorption is a unitary operation and an application of its properties allows the removal of metals from the body of water. In this regard, numerous studies have been carried out on adsorbent materials with an affinity for heavy metals, one of the most toxic being lead and, due to its abundance, it occurs more frequently in mining discharges. On the other hand, ferric hydroxide is a compound that is easily obtained and, due to its excellent adsorbent properties, it is a good candidate to consider as an ideal adsorbent, and its properties have been extensively investigated by the authors Dzombak and Morel (1990). The aforementioned authors indicated that the adsorption occurs by complexation of the metal on the surface of the hydroxide, the data obtained is reflected in the Visual MINTEQ software (free license software and developed exclusively for ferric hydroxide as an adsorbent), which allows simulating the adsorption under various conditions (which allows it to be used as a starting point to start a research work and develop a process). The aforementioned requires a design on an industrial scale, so initially it is necessary to determine the mass transfer coefficient and the adsorption isotherm, for which laboratory tests are required. In the present work, the design of a process in semi-continuous mode was carried out, this requires mathematical modeling, which provides data, for the design of equipment, containers and the necessary number of materials. In addition, to provide operating parameters. The modeling requires data from a real case, which makes it possible to provide a solution to a problem of lead contamination from a discharge, whose initial concentration is 1,070 mg/L, and it is required to reach a concentration of 0.18 mg/L, allowing it to be discharged in compliance with environmental regulations. The design of the chosen process does not exist similar references, so, to determine the appropriate number of stages, it was considered necessary to evaluate from a process of (01) stage to four (04) stages, in each stage the cost of processing was established. per volume unit and the economic evaluation for an economic horizon of 20 years, concluding that the process finally chosen is the 2-stage process.
