Background. Obtaining sorption materials based on natural raw materials for water purification from pollution by heavy metal ions is an urgent task of our time. Composites with zero-valent iron nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of clay minerals show rather high sorption properties concerning ions of some heavy metals. However, there are only a few proceedings devoted to the physicochemical substantiation of wastewater treatment processes containing a complex mixture of such pollutants. Objective. The purpose of the paper is to study the physicochemical regularities of wastewater treatment from a mixture of ions of heavy metals Cu(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cr(VI) using stabilized nano dispersed powders of zero-valent iron. Methods. The phase composition and structural-sorption characteristics of palygorskite and composites were studied by X-ray phase analysis and low-temperature adsorption-desorption of nitrogen. The efficiency of removal of metal ions by silicate materials was investigated using the sorption method. The equilibrium concentrations of each of the metals were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Results. We have investigated the physicochemical features of wastewater treatment containing a complex mixture of heavy metal ions (Cu(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Cr(VI)). The phase composition and structural-sorption properties of stabilized nano dispersed powders of zero-valent iron have been studied. It has been experimentally confirmed that the materials obtained have significantly better sorption properties for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions in comparison with natural palygorskite. Using Freundlich and Langmuir equations sorption isotherms were calculated. Conclusions. It has been established that stabilized nano dispersed powders of zero-valent iron can be successfully used for the purification of wastewater containing a mixture of toxic ions Cu(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Cr(VI). It is shown that the degree of water purification by the obtained sorbents is 3–5 times higher than that for the unmodified mineral. A significant increase in the values of sorption of anionic forms of Cr(VI), which are difficult to remove from polluted waters by natural ion exchangers, has been determined.

The problem of environmental pollution with heavy metals is relevant for the Republic of Belarus. One of the ways to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater is to treat them with sorbents. Sorbents based on peat and brown coal are effective and inexpensive, but their use leads to secondary contamination of the treated environment with water-soluble organic compounds. It is shown that the developed sorption materials based on peat and brown coal residues sorb heavy metal ions (copper, nickel, zinc) and do not pollute the treated medium with water-soluble organic compounds (the COС value of sorption materials does not exceed 5 mg O2/dm3). It was found that the exchange capacity of sorption materials in an acidic medium (pH 2.0) is higher than that of humic acids and is in the range of 0.17–1.38 mmol/g. The use of ultrasonic treatment to increase the exchange capacity of sorption materials makes it possible to increase it by 2.3–3.0 times for copper ions and 2.2 times for zinc ions, which is due to the destruction of large aggregates. The obtained results formed the basis for the development of a technology for obtaining sorption materials for wastewater treatment from heavy metal ions.

Most countries worldwide face the problem related to clean and safe water. The major source of contamination of water bodies includes the discharges of wastes from various domestic and industrial sources (heavy metal ions, dyes, and pharmaceuticals). To overcome those problems, various water purification methods such as coagulation, flocculation, adsorption, membrane separation, biological, and electrochemical methods have been engaged. Adsorption using nano-biosorbents based on chitin, chitosan and modified chitosan, cellulose, alginate, micro algal has emerged as a better alternative for the removal of contaminants from drinking and wastewater treatment. The main advantages of these nano-biosorbents include its biodegradability and eco-friendliness, which have attracted researchers to this field.

This scientific research is determined to a study of sorption process of heavy metal ions removal from aqueous solution at water purification with a help of sorption materials on a basis of residual biomass of microalgae and duckweed. It is known that Chlorella sorokiniana and duckweed Lemna minor have in their composition different valuable substances such as lipids, proteins, pigments, pectic substances. After their extraction residual biomass is formed. And in present study it is proposed for using as biosorbent for water purification. At different pH values the removal of ions of heavy metals (Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II)) occurs with varied efficiency; it is an important and informative parameter. Equilibrium and initial concentration of the solution with heavy metal ions were measured by voltammetric method of analysis with a use of special equipment. Chitosan was used as a component for making composite sorption materials with residual biomass of microalgae and duckweed. It is biopolymer which widely used in water purification. Due to this, prepared granules have good sorption properties. Nowadays in the era of technology and wide industrial production it is important and actual to develop new ecological technology and useful materials for water treatment and other fields for environment protection in general.

The article considers the problem of wastewater treatment of industrial enterprises containing heavy metal ions. Because of insufficient treatment of wastewater from heavy metal ions, they enter ecological systems, accumulate in them and cause toxic effects on phyto and zoocenosis, even in small concentrations, which in turn leads to imbalance of ecosystems and their degradation. Therefore, the treatment of industrial effluents is becoming increasingly important over time. The application of existing methods and sorbents for purification of industrial effluents from heavy metal ions is considered and analyzed.However, existing combined wastewater treatment methods and sorbents have little effectiveness against heavy metals. The paper proposes the use of clay- based sorbents. The purpose of research is to substantiate the feasibility of using sorbents based on clays of deposits in Ukraine for wastewater treatment of industrial enterprises from heavy metal ions. Clays of domestic deposits are not scarce, inexpensive in comparison with existing sorbents. Samples of sorbents based on clay were studied, their composition was developed and analyzed.A method for obtaining clay-based sorbents has been developed. Materials such as peat, wood ash and dolomite were used as activating additives. The composition and structure of the developed sorbents, as well as their sorption capacity and ability to heavy metals have been studied. These sorbents have been shown to be an effective material for cleaning industrial effluents from heavy metal ions and can be recommended for use.

Abstract Toxic metal pollutants in groundwater should be identified to prevent future health risks. In this paper, the presence of heavy metals in groundwater in the western region of Iraq was investigated. The heavy metals concentrations, including Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Cr3+, Cd2+, As3+ and Hg2+ were explored in twenty selected aquifers near Rutba City and the results were presented as spatial distribution maps. Findings indicate that contamination with the investigated heavy metal ions possesses a serious threat to the study area’s groundwater quality when compared to WHO and IEPA guideline values. Thus, a new approach to remove or adsorb heavy metal ions can be developed for large-scale production and the safe use of these aquifers water. Results revealed that the highest concentrations in mg/L1 of 2.312 in w19, 1.098 in w2, 5.78 in w17, 0.292 in w9, 3.349 in w5, 0.32 in w13, 0.074 in w11 and 5.622 in w1 for Zn2+, Cr3+, As3+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ were recorded, respectively.

In the experiment with marbled crayfishProcambarusvirginalis(Lyko, 2017), chronic effects of various concentrations of heavy metal ions on the physiological state and enzyme activity were investigated. The obtained results showed that among the investigated heavy metals nickel ions influenced the weight indexes and mortality of crustaceans the most negatively. According to the results of the research, significant changes were noted in the individual biochemical parameters of marbled crayfish under the influence of manganese, lead and nickel ions. The most significant changes in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase were detected in muscle tissues affected by manganese and nickel ions. A significant decrease in the activity of succinate dehydrogenase in muscle of marbled crayfish was determined after the action of heavy metal ions. Investigation of changes in the activity of alkaline phosphatase under the influence of the ions of manganese, lead and nickel has its own characteristics, which indicates certain violations in the tissues of cell membranes. Changes in the activity of enzymes were also reflected in the overall protein content. Changes in these parameters may indicate a rapid biochemical response of crustaceans to the toxic effects of heavy metals.

Abstract This review is based on the adsorption characteristics of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) for removal of heavy metals from aqueous media. Different parameters like pH, temperature of the medium, sorghum concentration, sorghum particle size, contact time, stirring speed and heavy metal concentration control the adsorption efficiency of sorghum biomass for heavy metal ions. Sorghum biomass showed maximum efficiency for removal of heavy metal ions in the pH range of 5 to 6. It is an agricultural waste and is regarded as the cheapest biosorbent, having high adsorption capacity for heavy metals as compared to other reported adsorbents, for the treatment of heavy metal polluted wastewater. Adsorption of heavy metal ions onto sorghum biomass follows pseudo second order kinetics. Best fitted adsorption isotherm models for removal of heavy metal ions on sorghum biomass are Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models. Thermodynamic aspects of heavy metal ions adsorption onto sorghum biomass have also been elaborated in this review article. How adsorption efficiency of sorghum biomass can be improved by different physical and chemical treatments in future has also been elaborated. This review article will be highly useful for researchers working in the field of water treatment via biosorption processing. The quantitative demonstrated efficiency of sorghum biomass for various heavy metal ions has also been highlighted in different sections of this review article.

Представлены результаты исследований сорбции ионов тяжелых металлов глиносодержащими сорбентами из сточных вод гальванического производства. Цель испытаний, проведенных на пилотной установке, – разработка технологической схемы для доочистки сточных вод от ионов тяжелых металлов и извлечения отработанного сорбента с применением намывного патронного фильтра со слоем перлита. В испытаниях использовались: термически модифицированный сорбент на основе природных материалов – модифицированная глина, а также смесевый сорбент, состоящий из монтмориллонита, торфа и доломита в соотношении 5:4:1 без термической обработки. Исследования проводились по восьми ионам тяжелых металлов в диапазоне низких концентраций, характерных для сточных вод, поступающих на доочистку после отстаивания с корректировкой рН. Основные технологические параметры доочистки: pH8; продолжительность контакта сорбента с обрабатываемыми водами 90 мин, доза сорбентов 1–1,6 г/л. Отделение отработанного сорбента от очищенной воды было предусмотрено в две ступени – отстаиванием и фильтрованием на патронном намывном фильтре. Введение коагулянта «Аква-АуратÔ-30» дозой 40 мг/л по Al2O3 позволило снизить концентрацию взвешенных веществ в осветленных сточных водах, подаваемых на намывные фильтры, до 8 мг/л для модифицированной глины и 15 мг/л для смесевого сорбента. Удельная производительность намывного слоя составила 23 м3/(ч×м2), расчетная удельная нагрузка по взвеси на поверхность фильтра составила для модифицированной глины 850 г/м2, для смесевого сорбента – 680 г/м2. Расчетная продолжительность фазы фильтрования намывного слоя при использовании предварительного реагентного отстаивания составила 4,6 и 2 ч для модифицированной глины и смесевого сорбента соответственно. Обеспечена эффективность очистки сточных вод от ионов тяжелых металлов на уровне ПДК для водных объектов рыбохозяйственного значения. The results of studies of the sorption of heavy metal ions by clay-containing sorbents from plating effluents are presented. The purpose of the tests carried out in a pilot plant was developing a process scheme for the removal of heavy metal ions from effluents and extraction of the spent sorbent in a precoat cartridge filter with a layer of perlite. The materials used in the tests were as follows: thermally modified sorbent based on natural material, i. e., modified clay, as well as mixed sorbent consisting of montmorillonite, peat and dolomite in a ratio of 5:4:1 without heat treatment. The studies were carried out on eight ions of heavy metals in the low concentration range typical for the effluent coming for tertiary treatment after sedimentation with pH adjustment. The main process parameters of tertiary treatment were: pH 8; the duration of the sorbent contact with the effluent was 90 min, the dose of sorbents was 1–1.6 g/l. The separation of the spent sorbent from the effluent was executed in two stages – sedimentation and filtration in a precoat cartridge filter. The addition of Aqua-AuratTM-30 coagulant with a dose of 40 mg/l as Al2O3provided for reducing the concentration of suspended solids in the clarified effluent supplied to the precoat filters to 8 mg/l for modified clay and 15 mg/l for the mixed sorbent. The specific productivity of the alluvial layer was 23 m3/(h‧m2), the specific load of the suspension on the filter surface was 850 g/m2for modified clay, and 680 g/m2 for mixed sorbent. The estimated duration of the filtration phase of the alluvial layer while using preliminary chemical sedimentation was 4.6 and 2 h for the modified clay and mixed sorbent, respectively. The efficiency of removing heavy metal ions from effluents was provided at the level of the maximum permissible concentration for fishery water bodies.
