Mikrovolnovaya obrabotka prirodnykh sorbentov v tekhnologii ochistki stochnykh vod [Microwave treatment of natural sorbents in wastewater purification]

Purpose: Modification of natural sorbents to improve their sorption properties. Design: Microwave treatment effect on the properties peat, reindeer moss, moss and pine sawdust. Research findings: Short-term microwave has no moisture oil absorption by peat moss. On contrary, sawdust are improved, especially wood waste, i. e., capacity increases 41 %. The provides 11.4 17 % increase in relation products dissolved water, respectively. best is observed for irradiation with 600 W microwaves one minute. Practical implication: Activated can be used purification wastewater containing petroleum products. Originality/value: Arctic materials modified studied first time.
