Spent electrolytes from galvanic production are characterized by a high content of heavy metal ions, which significantly exceeds their content in natural ores. The paper shows the possibility of processing spent sulfate electrolytes from nickel plating of galvanic production to obtain pigments, which will stabilize the operation of treatment facilities, prevent the ingress of heavy metal ions into the environment, which have toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, reduce the volume of wastewater sludge formed, and also obtain a valuable commodity product that is currently being purchased abroad. The results of investigations of the coloristic characteristics of the obtained samples of pigments are presented, the effect of Fe (III) ions present in the spent electrolytes of nickel plating as a contaminant on the color characteristics and purity of the color of the obtained samples is investigated. The dependence of the color of the obtained samples on the content of Fe (III) ions in the spent electrolytes was established, which made it possible to establish the range of coloristic characteristics of pigments obtained from spent sulfate nickel-plating electrolytes (green, yellow, brown and black colors). The results of the research carried out will reduce the impact of galvanic production on the environment.

The technology for wastewater treatment of galvanic production was developed for «Thien Mi» LLC, Vinh Fuk, Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Initially, a characteristic of the existing method for the extraction of heavy metal ions from electroplating is given. It was revealed that the treatment of wastewater from galvanic plants with a suspension of calcium hydroxide leads to the formation of a large volume of galvanic sludge and an insufficient degree of purification from heavy metal ions. The possibility of sorption purification of the galvanic drains of the named enterprise using the sawdust of acacia (Acacia auriculiformis) as a sorption material was investigated. The adsorption isotherms of Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ ions with native sawdust of acacia were constructed. Sorption material was processed with weakly concentrated solutions of sulfuric acid, which leads to an increase of more than 4 times in the sorption capacity of the mentioned ITMs. The post-treatment of galvanic solutions from heavy metal ions was carried out using the Lewatit Monoplus TP 207 ion-exchange resin. The toxicity of the initial galvanic drains was investigated after each cleaning step using standard test objects Paramecium caudatum and Daphia magna. As a result of the studies, sorption and ion-exchange methods are recommended for the treatment of wastewater of galvanic production of small volumes, which can significantly reduce the concentration of heavy metal ions in purified solutions.

The development of the city traffic and its increasing traffic flux are the signs of the development of the society, but causing a serious pollution on the city's ecological environment. Cement hydration reactions are needed to generate Ca (OH)2, C-S-H gel, and AFt, as well as other hydrated products. Meanwhile, heavy metal ions are contained and fixed in a cement paste under physical encapsulation, absorption, isomorphous replacement, and double decomposition. This paper mainly discusses the impact of hydration environment on the adsorption law of materials adsorbing heavy metal ions and the adsorption mechanism under different pH values and temperatures, analyzing specific reasons from the perspective of micro-structure. Through the analysis it can be seen that, in addition to zinc ions, the cement-based materials’ capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions increases as the pH value and the temperature increase. Micro-structure analysis shows that cement-based materials’ main adsorption methods are different when pH values are different.

Heavy metals cause functional disorders in the tissues and organs of hydrobionts, affecting their linear-weight indicators, reproductive system, digestive and eliminative organs. Using the method of histological estimation of the conditions of the tissues and organs of Procambarus virginalis Lyko, 2017 allowed us to determine the peculiarities of adaptation of crustaceans to the effect of different concentrations of heavy metal ions in the conditions of a modeling experiment. We studied the impact ions of zinc (0.1 mg/l) and cadmium (0.01 mg/l) on the organism of P. virginalis. The heavy metal ions had a negative effect on the weight indicators, survivability and reproduction of P. virginalis. During the experiments with zinc, we observed death of 18.2% of the tested сrustaceans; the highest death rate was observed in the experiment with cadmium – 27.3%. Experimentally modeled concentrations of heavy metals negatively affected the reproductive system of P. virginalis. In the experiment with cadmium ions, we observed no spawning; the highest percentage of the females with deposed eggs was observed in the control – 29.1%. The conducted studies allowed us to observe the reaction of the eliminatory system of P. virginalis to the impact of heavy metal ions. The impact of ions of zinc and cadmium decreased the area of secretory cells of the green gland by 10.4–14.8%. We observed grinding of the nuclear cell apparatus. Therefore, the nucleii of granulocytes were 23.6% smaller under the impact of zinc, and 17.5% smaller under the influence of cadmium. The sizes of cells and nucleus apparatus decreased mutually and proportionally; this was proven by stable indicators of nucleus-cytoplasm ratio, its value equaled 0.29–0.31 units. The given concentrations of heavy metals did not affect the histological condition of the adipose tissue, the sizes of adipocytes fluctuated within the range of 215–2178 μm2, the average equaled 872–994 μm2. We determined the negative effect of heavy metals on the histological structure of the hepatopancreas and the value of gland lumens. In the control, the area of previous section equaled 164.5 μm2 with 39 μm2 lumen. During the experiment with zinc ions the structures of hepatopancreas increased by 19.9%, and in the experiment with cadmium, we observed the highest increase in the structural elements of the tissues – by 50.2%. The worst histological condition of the cells of the tested tissues and organs of P. virginalis was observed among individuals impacted by the cadmium ions; this is explained by the high toxic effect of this heavy metal.

Heavy metal ions contamination has become more serious which is caused by the releasing of toxic water from industrial area and landfill that are very harmful to all living organism especially human and can even cause death if contaminated in small amount of heavy metal concentration. Currently, peoples are using classic method namely electrochemical treatment, chemical oxidation/reduction, chemical precipitation and reverse osmosis to eliminate the metal ions from toxic water. Unfortunately, these methods are costly and not environmentally friendly as compared to bioadsorption method, where agricultural waste is used as biosorbent to remove heavy metals. Two types of agricultural waste used in this research namely oil palm mesocarp fiber (Elaesis guineensis sp.) (OPMF) and mangrove bark (Rhizophora apiculate sp.) (MB) biomass. Through chemical treatment, the removal efficiency was found to improve. The removal efficiency is examined based on four specification namely dosage, of biosorbent to adsorb four types of metals ion explicitly nickel, lead, copper, and chromium. The research has found that the removal efficiency of MB was lower than OPMF; whereas, the multiple metals ions removal efficiency decreased in the order of Pb2+ > Cu2+ > Ni2+ > Cr2+.
