Introduction. At present, the following areas are the subject of intensive research: methods for removing such toxic metals as cadmium, lead, copper, etc. from wastewaters, namely, using new composite sorbents for this purpose; improvement of ion exchange treatment and, for example, sedimentation of sulphides or oxalates; wood ash sorption; biosorption onto plants. It is a future-oriented trend to use peat as a sorbent in a wastewater treatment technology. Extensive peat deposits in the Republic of Belarus can contribute to production of cheap, environmentally friendly sorbents made of modified peat briquettes. The mission of this work is to study the sorption properties of peat briquettes used to remove cadmium, lead and copper ions from wastewater. Materials and methods. Physicochemical, technological, mathematical methods are employed. Results. The co-authors studied the kinetics of cadmium Cd+2, lead Pb+2, and copper Cu+2 ions sorption onto peat briquettes. They identified that the bigger the grain of peat briquettes, the less efficient the sorption. The sorption process is intensive: it takes cadmium Cd+2, lead Pb+2, and copper Cu+2 ions five minutes to get extracted from the solution; extraction efficiency reaches 91.11; 96.96 and 88.39 %, respectively. 20 minutes is enough to reach degree of equilibrium F = 0.98 for cadmium Cd+2 and lead Pb+2 and F = 0.96 for copper Cu+2. F is equal to 0.99 for all ions in 40 minutes. The multiplicity of extraction, or the ratio of initial concentration to equilibrium concentration reaches 114 for cadmium ions Cd+2, 162 for lead ions Pb+2, and 93 for copper ions Cu+2. In case of saturation, sorption capacity reaches the following values: Сd+2 — 0,0778 mmol/g (8.75 mg/g), Pb+2 — 0.8205 mmol/g (170.00 mg/g), Cu+2 — 2.707 mmol/g (172 mg/g). The co-authors used equations of diffusion and chemical kinetics to establish that the sorption process proceeds in the diffusion mode, and the stage of chemical interaction of metal ions with functional groups of peat contributes to the overall velocity of the process. Conclusions. Peat briquettes represent an effective sorbent used to remove cadmium Cd+2, lead Pb+2, and copper Cu+2 ions from wastewater. The sorption process is almost over in 20 minutes.

The article deals with the problem of purification of melt water generated by the urbanized territories. It is proposed to use wood residue from sawing of plantings to obtain relatively inexpensive sorption material for the contamination extraction from surface wastewater. The aim of this work is to study the sorption properties of the material obtained by sawing of plantings. Experimental modeling of sorption of dissolved petroleum products and copper ions from an aqueous solution of milled branches of black poplar is carried out under static conditions. The sorption process is studied in accordance with a three-factor design experiment. Laboratory modeling determines the optimum parameters of water purification and the degree of mutual influence of contaminants on the sorption process. Natural material obtained from the poplar components shows the sorption properties in relation to oil products and copper ions in the water environment. The filters made of milled branches and used in local treatment plants will allow solving the problems of municipal services, namely utilization of wood residue from sawing of plantings and effective melt water purification due to the low-cost filtering materials.

The authors study the issues of applying mathematical methods to the assessment of the criminogenic levels in administrative-territorial units of the Republic of Kazakhstan. They have analyzed a considerable volume of statistical information for the past 20 years and, as a result, have identified the highest and the lowest number of registered crimes. Several indices were used to develop an index of criminogenity (ranging) of regions: crime level, graveness of crimes, size of population in a certain area. They recommend to define the public danger of crimes as a numerical value expressed in abstract units - points - based on the average sanctions, an average punishment imposed by a court and an average rating assigned by experts (researchers, practical specialists). The authors have studied modern Kazakh and foreign publications on the use of mathematical methods in criminology. The results of assessment according to three methods of ranging - legislative (legal), court, and expert - are presented in the tables. There is a correlation between legislative (legal) and court assessments. Calculations were used to determine the criminal status of some territorial units, which makes it possible to compare the number of crimes and the degree of their public danger for the population in the over-16 age group. In order to analyze the administrative-territorial units of the same type, the cities have been grouped according to the size of population. The presented methodology is reflected in the spectral scale on the «Map of Criminal Infringements» of the Committee for Legal Statistics and Special Records of the Prosecutor Generals Office for the Republic of Kazakhstan; it takes into account the distribution of cities into four groups which, in the end, will make it possible to obtain a maximally objective assessment of the criminal situation and to take preventive measures.

<p>Numerous factors affect adsorption phenomena in solid–liquid systems. Critical factors are the sorbent dose and initial concentrations of the contaminants in the system. However, the combination of these two factors and their effects on removal prediction are largely unexplored. In this study, batch experiments were conducted to examine such effects on the adsorption of 2-[4-(dimethylamino) styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide cationic dye (2-ASP) in contaminated water to humic acid coated magnetic nanoparticles (HA-MNPs). Dimensional analysis and Buckingham’s π theorem were subsequently used to assess the relationship between the sorbent dose, initial concentration, and percent removal. Results of dimensional analysis along with experimental data suggest that sorbent dose and sorbate concentration ratio are the main variables controlling sorption of dye on HA-MNPs. In conventional isothermal studies, the isotherm equations are developed based on experiments of one sorbent dose which cannot be generalized for all sorbent doses.  In this study, a power function (Isotherm-like) model was obtained from the dimensional analysis that can describe precisely the sorption process of dye on HA-MNPs as a function of equilibrium concentration and sorbent dose ratio. Moreover, a relation is deduced for prediction of removal percent as a function of sorbent dose and initial concentration ratio with R<sup>2</sup> of 0.98.</p><p><strong>Keywords: Remediation, Dimensional analysis, Isotherm-like model, Magnetic nanoparticle, Styryl pyridinium dyes, Water treatment</strong></p>

AbstractThis paper aims to increase the sorption capacity of hydroxyapatite and to find the best apatite-based material for metal ions sorption. The sorption process of copper ions from water solutions by HAP and structurally modified HAP was carried out in this work. Structural modifications of HAP were realized in the preparation phase by an addition of sodium silica into the reaction medium. The prepared materials were characterized by physical-chemical methods: IR, electron-microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The composites characterized were tested in kinetic studies regarding ion exchange and adsorption of Cu2+. It was revealed that the silica content, particle size and initial copper ion concentration influence the process rate.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace heavy metals in aqueous environment are rapidly assuming significance along with the rapid development of industry. In this paper, gold microelectrode array (MEA) plated with mercury film was used for simultaneous voltammetric detection of zinc, cadmium, lead and copper ions in water. The electrochemical behavior and the actual surface area of the MEA were investigated by cyclic voltammetry in K3[Fe(CN)6] . Electrochemical impedance spectrum (EIS) was utilized to examine the deposition of mercury on the electrode surface. Based on anodic stripping voltammetry, mercury film– Au MEA was applied to the detection of heavy metals in artificial analyte, where good calibrate linearity was obtained for cadmium, lead and copper ions, but with zinc exhibiting poor linearity.

In this study, removal of copper ions from aqueous solutions by synthetic Mg-Al-HTlc was investigated as a function of contact time, EDTA and addition sequences at room temperature. It is found that HTlc could reduced copper ions concentration effectively. The kinetics closely fit pseudo-second order kinetics with necessary time 9 h to reach equilibrium. The sorption process followed langmuir model. The maximum sorption capacity calculated was found to be 39.4 mg/g. The presence of EDTA and addition sequences could affect sorption of Cu(II) onto HTlc.

The adsorption of chromate ions H2-yA (y = 1, 2, and A = CrO42–) on iron(III) hydroxide was conducted as a function of adsorbent mass, solution pH, and hydration time. The surface complexation technique, based on the examination of the chromate distribution between the solid and liquid phases, was adopted to predict the adsorption mechanism. To specify stoichiometry of the chromate surface complexes, the proton (n > 0), and hydroxyl (n < 0) ion-exchange was evaluated at a pH range of 2–12. The obtained “n” values are ranging between -1 and 1. As a result, the sorption process involved specific chemical interaction with surface sites, resulting in 1H+ and 1OH– release of the adsorbate molecule. The surface species identified were ; ; ; ; ; ; ;  and . The logarithmic values of their complexing constants were: log K00 = 1.81 ± 0.04; log K11 = -3.53 ± 0.07; log K21 = -1.03 ± 0.23, log K1-1 = 7.15 ± 0.14 and log K2-1 = 9.62 ± 0.53. The results showed that the chromate adsorption on Fe(III) hydroxide was of electrostatic and chemical nature at pH lower than 5.5, and only of chemical nature at pH superior to 5.5. Taking into account these considerations, Fe(III) hydroxide could be considered an excellent sorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater solutions.
