This study was conducted with the aim of preliminary assessment of the total use of the working exchange capacity of cation-exchangers during ion-exchange filtration of surface waters. The chemical composition of natural waters in Russia depends on many factors, which affects the performance indicators during operation of water treatment equipment. Comparison of geochemical indicators of natural waters of the Ob River basin at specific locations of water withdrawal in the Ural Federal District of Russia was carried out. For several compositions of natural waters, the calculation of two-stage ion-exchange filtration in the water treatment scheme for heat and power plants has been carried out. The possibility of rational use of ion-exchange filtration at the first stage of water purification and low efficiency of the use of ion-exchange filtration at the second stage of filtration for these plants is shown.

The possibilities of using natural granular glauconite in standard water treatment schemes have been investigated. Resource tests of the studied material were carried out in dynamics, simulating possible conditions of use. As a result of the experiments, it was established: during the filtration process, alkalization of water occurs, but the result does not exceed pH = 6÷9, which are the norm for drinking water; the use of a sorbent based on natural glauconite does not impair the hardness indicator of the treated water. The dynamic exchange capacity was: for iron – 3.09 mg/g of absorbent, copper – 19.15 mg/g of absorbent, zinc – 4.82 mg/g of absorbent. The resource of the filter was determined with the loading of granulate with a volume of 1 dm3: for iron – 2918 dm3, for copper – 5425 dm3, for zinc – 273 dm3. The mechanical strength acquired by the sorbent as a result of granulation made it possible to wash the load by the countercurrent method, freeing intergranular pores from the sediment accumulated in them. The revealed capabilities of granular glauconite will allow its use in drinking water treatment schemes for purifying natural waters from heavy metals: iron, zinc, copper.

<p>Sorption parameters of natural zeolite-containing tripolite from the Khotynetsky deposit (Russia, Oryol region) were studied in a series of experiments to evaluate possibility of its usage as a geochemical barrier for teсhnogenic Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup> contaminating soils and ground waters. <br>Firstly, the tripolite total ion-exchange capacity was established by its saturation with ammonium ion and evaluating its content in the initial and ammonium forms with the help of X-ray fluorescence method. Secondly, the kinetic characteristics, namely the time necessary to reach the equilibrium state of the rock-water system containing Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup> ions were determined in batch experiments using the method of "limited volume". The latter experiment was conducted using 0.5 g tripolite with 250 ml model solutions simulating natural river water (0.003 н CaCl<sub>2</sub>) and filtration water from solid domestic waste landfill (0.06 н CaCl<sub>2</sub>) and containing  2 mg/l Ni<sup>2+</sup> and  Zn<sup>2+</sup>. The time of contact between the sorbent and the model solution varied from 2 hours to 21 days. Thirdly, basing on reference data on the real content of heavy metals in the filtrates of various landfills, an experiment on determination of the tripolite equilibrium exchange (and adsorption) capacity was carried out. The prepared model solutions in the latter experiment contained 2, 5, 7 and 10 mg/l of Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup>. The amount of Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+  </sup>in solutions was determined by the ICP-AES.<br>According to the obtained results, the total ion-exchange capacity of the natural tripolite equaled to 1.18 mg-eq/g. The sorption isotherms based on kinetic experiments showed that equilibrium in the studied rock-solution system took place after 200 to 500 hours of interaction. Despite natural scattering of experimental points in the range of the used Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup> concentrations in the third experiment which lasted 21 days, the sorption of the studied ions by the natural tripolite can be approximated by a linear isotherm, zinc being sorbed much better than nickel. The average values of distribution coefficients (Kd) obtained for 0.003 n CaCl<sub>2</sub> aquatic solution equaled to 2.7*103 ml/g for Ni<sup>2+</sup> and 6.7*103 ml/g for Zn<sup>2+</sup>.<br>Therefore, natural tripolite of the Khotinetsky deposit may well be used as a natural geochemical barrier for extraction of technogenic Ni<sup>2+</sup> and Zn<sup>2+</sup> from natural waters draining landfills and contaminated by these ions.</p><p> </p>

Abstract The problem of water treatment at thermal power plants using ion-exchange technologies is a multi-parameter task. Mathematical modeling is essential for research and optimization of ion exchange technology. The analysis of hydrodynamic processes during the operation of ion-exchange filters was carried out according to the developed mathematical model. Also, a physicochemical analysis of the composition of the water treatment plant solutions under real conditions was carried out. It is shown that in the cationite and anionite filters, the flow movement occurs mainly in a mixed hydrodynamic mode. This mode of regeneration and the filter design do not allow achieving the minimum consumption of the reagent for regeneration, the minimum volume of wastewater and the maximum output of demineralized water. The mixed mode of the anion exchange filter operation allows division of the outgoing solution flow into fractions, which can be successfully used in the TPP water cycle.

This study investigated the use of weathered halloysite as an ion exchange material for ammonium removal from water. The study was conducted under static and dynamic conditions. The influence of such parameters as the preliminary concentration of ammonium ions, dose of halloysite, and pH was examined in periodic studies. The ion exchange capacity of weathered halloysite under various regeneration conditions such as concentration, excess of regeneration solution and the pH at which the regeneration was performed was also determined. The effect of flow velocity, initial NH4+-ions concentration was studied in column tests and the weathered halloysite’s ion -exchange capacity was also determined. The best results of ammonium ion removal were obtained at pH 6. The equilibrium isotherms were described using the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The results of periodic studies show a good fit for the data of both models, with Langmuir isotherms reflecting the removal of ammonium ions better. A good match for the data (R2 > 0.99) was provided by a pseudo second-order kinetic model. The obtained results indicate that a properly prepared halloysite can be a useful mineral for the removal of dangerous substances, such as ammonium ions, present in natural waters.

The use of a complex fi lter for water treatment is proposed for the fi rst time. The complex fi lter includes two layers. The fi rst layer along the course of the water should be loading for mechanical cleaning, the second - for softening (ion exchange). Cleaning can be one- or two-stage. For research, water was used from three wells in the Samara region. In the course of the work, two stages of laboratory research were carried out, on the basis of which the best fi ltering load was determined. The calculation of the total and working exchange capacity has been made. A technical and economic comparison of cleaning methods was carried out. The results of the work performed were summed up, proposals were made for the rational use of installations and the prospects for the development of the work in the future were determined.
