The use of foam glass (granular) in urban surface water treatment

Introduction. When purifying natural objects from heavy metals a decisive role is played by sorption technologies, for the development of which new kinds sorbents are required. The aim study to evaluate capacity granulated foam glass in treatment surface wastewater (SW) urbanized areas (on example Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn). Materials methods. Granulated was used as sorbent. sorbate urban city Chelyabinsk. interaction sorbent-sorbate system studied laboratory conditions limited volume method static when pollutants were liquid phase brought into contact with stationary time sorbent varied 3 168 hours ambient temperature 0 20 °C. structure composition using JEOL JSM-6460LV scanning electron microscope an attachment micro X-ray spectral analysis. Changes during determined atomic emission spectrometry on OPTIMA 2100 DV spectrometer (Perkin Elmer). Hydrogen index pH-meter microprocessor рН-150МИ. Results. cellular has been studied. efficiency revealed. Conclusions. results show that investigated effective material allows extraction (cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, nickel, lead, zinc) wastewater.
