Деятельность горнодобывающих предприятий неотрывно сопряжена с ведением взрывных работ. В настоящее время наиболее распространенными взрывчатыми веществами являются эмульсионные взрывчатые вещества, граммониты, амоналы, аммониты и другие взрывчатые вещества, содержащие нитрат аммония, который в процессе взрывания переходит в сточные воды в форме нитрат- и нитрит-ионов, а также ионов аммония. Превышение предельно допустимой концентрации азотных соединений в водных объектах может приводить к эвтрофикации. В результате данного процесса происходит нарушение экологического баланса водоемов, а именно увеличение численности различных гидробионтов, уменьшение прозрачности воды и содержания растворенного кислорода. Помимо этого в водоемах осуществляется преобразование нитратной формы азота в нитритную, которая негативно воздействует на нервную и сердечно-сосудистую системы человека при употреблении воды из такого водоема. На данный момент существуют физико-химические, химические и биологические методы очистки вод от азотных соединений. Использование каждого из перечисленных методов обуславливается параметрами карьерных сточных вод и требованиями, предъявляемыми к качеству очистки. Цель работы. Целью работы является обзор методов биологической очистки, которые могут применяться для удаления соединений азота из карьерных сточных вод, а также определение наиболее перспективного метода при условии большого объема образования карьерных сточных вод. Методы исследования. Методы исследования включают в себя анализ и сравнение биологических методов очистки, которые могут использоваться для удаления азотных соединений из образующихся сточных вод в карьере. Результаты работы. Рассмотрены различные виды процессов и систем, включая процесс нитрификации и денитрификации, Anammox-процесс, фито-очистные системы, биоплато, биопруды и системы микроводорослей. Приведены факторы, влияющие на эффективность работы данных процессов и систем, а также дана сравнительная характеристика с выделением достоинств и недостатков каждого из них. Наиболее предпочтительным методом биологической очистки большого объема образующихся карьерных сточных вод признан метод комплексной очистки по типу constructedwetlands с комплексным применением видов высшей и низшей растительности. The activities of mining enterprises are inextricably linked with the conduct of blasting operations. Currently, the most common explosives are emulsion explosives, grammonites, amons, ammonites and other explosives containing ammonium nitrate, which, during the blasting process, passes into wastewater in the form of nitrate and nitrite ions, as well as ammonium ions. Exceeding the maximum permissible concentration of nitrogen compounds in water bodies can lead to eutrophication. As a result of this process, there is a violation of the ecological balance of reservoirs, as well as an increase in the number of various hydrobionts, a decrease in the transparency of water and the content of dissolved oxygen. In addition, the nitrate form of nitrogen is converted into nitrite in reservoirs, which negatively affects the nervous and cardiovascular system of a person when drinking water from such a reservoir. At the moment, there are physico-chemical, chemical and biological methods of water treatment from nitrogen. The use of each of these methods is determined by parameters of quarry wastewater and the requirements for treatment quality. Aim. The aim of the work is to review the methods of biological purification that are used for nitrogen compounds from quarry wastewater. Methods. The research methods include the analysis and comparison of biological treatment methods. Results. The factors affecting the efficiency of these processes and systems are presented, as well as these comparative characteristics, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. The most preferred biological treatment method of a large volume of formed quarry wastewater is the recognized methods of complex treatment according to the type of constructed wetlands with the complex use of higher and lower plant species.

Open pit mining using explosives based on ammonium nitrate leads to wastewater pollution with nitrogen compounds. In case of insufficient wastewater treatment, pollutants enter surface-water bodies. Excessive concentration of nitrogen compounds in water leads to the development of the process of eutrophication, which adversely affects the vital activity of aquatic organisms and humans. At the moment, a common method of wastewater treatment from nitrogen compounds is a biological treatment method using devices such as aeration chambers, oxidation tanks and slim filters. An alternative option for biological treatment is the introduction of algae into wastewater. In the conditions of the Arctic, it is difficult to carry out biological treatment using algae due to low temperatures throughout the year. In this study, the feasibility of using the frost-resistant strain Chlorella kessleri VKPM A1-l1ARW for the effluents treatment from nitrogen compounds was tested. Model solutions with a known nitrates concentration were used. Experiments were carried out at two specified temperatures for comparison. The results showed that by the end of the 10-day experiment, the nitrates extraction efficiency at standard temperature (20 °C) was from 40.3% to 71.8%, at low temperature (3 °C) was from 30.4% to 73.6%.

Abstract. Nitrogen is a dominant nutrient causing eutrophication of water bodies, and the discharge of nitrogen-containing wastewater can bring about undesirable changes to agriculture. Ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) is the major form of nitrogen present in wastewater, and the control of NH4+-N discharge in wastewater has been a major concern around the world. Various methods have been adopted to control NH4+-N pollution in accepted water bodies. The methods employed for the elimination of NH4+-N in wastewater can be categorized as physicochemical methods, chemical methods, and biological methods. The objectives of this review are to present a brief introduction to the main approaches for the removal of NH4+-N in wastewater and provide a theoretical basis for practical application of these methods.HighlightsVarious methods of ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) removal from wastewater are reviewed.Operating conditions, advantages, and disadvantages of all approaches are discussed.Cost-effective, economical, and environmentally favorable means of NH4+-N removal are proposed. Keywords: Ammonia nitrogen, Biological treatment, Chemical treatment, Physical treatment, Wastewater.

Currently, waste generation in Indonesia is increasing; the amount of waste generated in a year is around 67.8 million tons. Increasing the amount of waste generation can cause other problems, namely water from the decay of waste called leachate. Leachate can contaminate surface water, groundwater, or soil if it is streamed directly into the environment without treatment. Between physical and chemical, biological methods, and leachate transfer, the most effective treatment is the biological method. The purpose of this article is to understand the biological method for leachate treatment in landfills. It can be concluded that each method has different treatment results because it depends on the leachate characteristics and the treatment method. These biological methods used to treat leachate, even with various leachate characteristics, also can be combined to produce effluent from leachate treatment below the established standards.

Biological water treatment has been used for more than a century. The processes involved, however, have not been optimally utilized, since knowledge about their character and significance has been insufficient. As conventional water purification techniques developed, the use of biological processes remained in the background until a few decades ago. However, at the moment several biological treatment methods are in use to remove iron and manganese from groundwater, and the future looks promising. The same methods can be used to improve numerous other water quality parameters, e.g. to oxidize reduced nitrogen compounds into nitrates. Biological removal of nitrate, too, will be a future water treatment method.

Nearly one fifth of all water used in the world is obtained from groundwater. The protection of water has become a high priority goal. During the last decades pollution of water has become more and more severe. Today groundwater is more and more used in comparison with surface water. Recently we have seen accidents, which can pollute nearly all surface water very quickly. Generally the groundwater is easier to protect, as well as cheaper to purify, and above all it is of better quality than the surface water. During the past two decades, alternatives to the traditional method of treating the water in filters have been developed, that is in situ water treatment i.e. the VYREDOX and NITREDOX methods. The most common problem regarding groundwater is too high content of iron and manganese, which can be reduced with the VYREDOX method. In some areas today there are severe problems with pollution by hydrocarbons and nitrate as well, and with modification of the VYREDOX treatment method it is used for hydrocarbon and nitrate treatment as well. The method to reduce the nitrate and nitrite is known as the NITREDOX method.

In this paper, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensor with gold delay area on LiNbO 3 substrate detecting DNA sequences is proposed. By well-designed device parameters of the SAW sensor, it achieves a high performance for highly sensitive detection of target DNA. In addition, an effective biological treatment method for DNA immobilization and abundant experimental verification of the sensing effect have made it a reliable device in DNA detection. The loading mass of the probe and target DNA sequences is obtained from the frequency shifts, which are big enough in this work due to an effective biological treatment. The experimental results show that the biosensor has a high sensitivity of 1.2 pg/ml/Hz and high selectivity characteristic is also verified by the few responses of other substances. In combination with wireless transceiver, we develop a wireless receiving and processing system that can directly display the detection results.

The issues of using data analysis methods to find and correct errors in the reports issued by meteorologists are considered. The features of processing various types of meteorological messages are studied. The advantages and disadvantages of existing methods of classification of text information are considered. The classification methods are compared in order to identify the optimal method that will be used in the developed algorithm for analyzing meteorological messages. The prospects of using each of the methods in the developed algorithm are described. An algorithm for processing the source data is proposed, which consists in using syntactic and logical analysis to preclean the data from various kinds of noise and determine format errors for each type of message. After preliminary preparation the classification method correlates the received set of message characteristics with the previously trained model to determine the error of the current weather report and output the corresponding message to the operator in real time. The software tools used in the algorithm development and implementation processes are described. A complete description of the process of processing a meteorological message is presented from the moment when the message is entered in a text editor until the message is sent to the international weather message exchange service. The developed software is demonstrated, in which the proposed algorithm is implemented, which allows to improve the quality of messages and, as a result, the quality of meteorological forecasts. The results of the implementation of the new algorithm are described by comparing the number of messages containing various types of errors before the implementation of the algorithm and after the implementation.
