Wastewater Treatment with the Natural Sorbents from the Arctic

Oil and gas production has an adverse impact on the ecological state of Russian Arctic. The local natural materials, such as peat, moss, reindeer moss are considered naturel sorbents in wastewater treatment technologies. sorption properties these materials were studied. isotherms at different initial concentrations pollutant (250, 50, 0.5 mg/L) constructed. patterns changes intensity oil products determined. modified by microwave radiation (600 W, one minute), which had a visible positive effect samples. Preliminary calculations filter cassette dimensions with performance 200 m3/day carried out. Efficiency cheapness predict economic feasibility using filtering equipment.
