The article describes the main applications of biopolymer – chitosan, the most important of which are medicine and food industry. In recent times, many works devoted to the application of chitosan for wastewater treatment because it has a flocculation and sorption properties. The market price of chitosan is high, so it is proposed to create a granular composite sorption materials based on chitosan and waste of agricultural processing, which will reduce the cost and improve the sorption properties. As waste agricultural processing is proposed to use heat-treated threshing of millet which has high sorption properties. The composites, where the binder is chitosan and the filler - heat-treated threshing millet with different content (10 %; 20 %; 30 %; 40 % of the total weight) were obtained. The adsorption isotherms of zinc ions on the composite adsorbent materials with different content of filler were constructed and the values of maximum sorption capacity were calculated. The mechanical properties (abrasion and grindability) of the obtained composite sorption materials were determined and it was shown that the best sorption characteristics of composite material with the addition of the filler for 30%. The technological scheme of production of composite materials of the heat-treated millet threshing and chitosan for wastewater treatment was developed. The microstructural study of the obtained materials showed that heat-treated additive threshing of millet increases. The economic indicators of production of composite sorption materials were calculated and the methods of disposal were examined.Forcitation:Politaeva N.A., Slugin V.V., Taranovskaya E.A., Alferov I.N., Soloviev M.A., Zakharevich A.M.

The necessity to recover uranium from dilute solutions (for environmental/safety and resource management) is driving research towards developing new sorbents. This study focuses on the enhancement of U(VI) sorption properties of composite algal/Polyethylenimine beads through the quaternization of the support (by reaction with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride). The sorbent is fully characterized by FTIR, XPS for confirming the contribution of protonated amine and quaternary ammonium groups on U(VI) binding (with possible contribution of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, depending on the pH). The sorption properties are investigated in batch with reference to pH effect (optimum value: pH 4), uptake kinetics (equilibrium: 40 min) and sorption isotherms (maximum sorption capacity: 0.86 mmol U g−1). Metal desorption (with 0.5 M NaCl/0.5 M HCl) is highly efficient and the sorbent can be reused for five cycles with limited decrease in performance. The sorbent is successfully applied to the selective recovery of U(VI) from acidic leachate of uranium ore, after pre-treatment (cementation of copper, precipitation of rare earth elements with oxalate, and precipitation of iron). A pure yellow cake is obtained after precipitation of the eluate.

Abstract Sorption capacity and the energy of phosphorus adsorption on muck and peat deposits were studied in peat- -muck soil profile from a lowland peatland in the Kuwasy object. Soils of the area are characterised by a laminar structure which results in variable sorption properties of peat deposits of different origin, degree of humification (decomposition - R) and transformation of organic matter of upper muck layers (degree of mucking - Z). There was a relationship between the maximum phosphorus adsorption calculated from the Langmuir isotherm (b) and adsorption energy (k) and the type and degree of humification of peat and transformation of muck mass. Muck deposits of the maximum sorption capacity similar to that of peat deposits bind phosphorus less intensively than peats. One may expect that different sorption capacity and the strength of phosphorus binding will effect in different migration of inorganic and organic P compounds in soil profile and their transfer to ground waters.

Long–lived 134Cs and 137Cs isotopes with half-cycle of 2.06 and 30 years respectively refer to the most dangerous and wide-spread radionuclides in ecological facilities. The efficient way of removing cesium radioisotopes from the living environment is to bind them into the compounds insoluble in water. This paper presents the findings on the sorption properties of synthetic nanostructured calcium aluminosilicates (CAS) with AI:Si correlation equal to 2:2, 2:6, 2:10 and obtained in CaCI2—AICI3—КОН--SiO2—H2O multiple-component system. An isotherm investigation of cesium ion sorption produced from aqueous solution with Cs+1 from 0.2 till 6.0 mmol/L-1 concentration was carried out. Maximum sorption capacity of calcium aluminosilicates (CAS) as well as Langmuir constant was defined. The kinetics data was received and the activation energy of cation exchange in the process of sorption was estimated. The impact of 1% КCI + 6% NaCI saline background on the values of interfacial distribution coefficient (Kd) and recovery rate of cesium ions were determined.

Abstract In this work, batch experiments were carried out to explore the sorption properties for perrhenate (ReO4−, a surrogate for TcO4−) by two types of commercial bifunctional anion-exchange resins (Purolite A530E and A532E). It is found that these two bifunctional anion-exchange resins could rapidly remove ReO4− from aqueous solution within 150 min and the maximum sorption capacity for ReO4− reached as high as 707 and 446 mg/g for Purolite A530E and A532E, respectively. The sorption properties were independent of pH over a wide range from 1 to 13. More importantly, both Purolite A530E and A532E exhibited excellent selectivity for the removal of ReO4− in the presence of large excess of NO3− and SO42−. Finally, the removal percentage of ReO4− by these two resins could be >90% and 80%, respectively, from the Hanford low-level waste melter off-gas scrubber simulant stream. Such high selectivity of Purolite A530E and A532E for the removal of ReO4− might be due to the presence of the long-chain group of –[N(Hexyl)3]+, which favored hydrophobic and large anions such as ReO4−/TcO4− rather than NO3−.

The sorption purification of model solutions from Ni2+ ions was studied using, as sorption materials, ground peanut peel of the original and heat-treated at a temperature of 250 °C and 350 °C. Isotherms of adsorption of Ni2+ ions by sorption materials were constructed in the range of initial concentrations up to 1000 mg/dm3 of the initial and thermally modified peanut peel. Isotherms are processed in the framework of the Langmuir, Freundlich and BET models. The kinetics of adsorption of Ni2+ ions by the initial and heat-treated peanut peel was studied. It was experimentally determined that the maximum sorption capacity of the initial peanut peel at an initial concentration of Ni2+ 1000 mg/dm3 ions is 0.6 mmol/g, and for annealed at 250 and 350 ° C – 0.66 and 0.78 mmol/g, respectively.

Lagenaria vulgaris activated carbon (LVAC) was synthesized from Lagenaria vulgaris biomass by treatment with diluted H2SO4 followed by thermo-chemical carbonization and overheated steam activation process and used for removal of the herbicide 2,4-dichlo-rophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that 2,4-D is adsorbed in micropores of the very porous LVAC (665 m2 g-1). LVAC showed high sorption capacity as compared to many previously used sorbents at optimal conditions: the stirring rate of 300 rpm, the sorbent dose of 1.0 g dm-3 and pH from 2 to 7. The experimental maximum sorption capacity of LVAC was 333.3 mg g-1. The pseudo-second-order model and Chrastil model described the 2,4-D sorption kinetics by LVAC. Thermodynamic studies have indicated that the sorption process was endothermic, spontaneous and physical in nature. LVAC was shown to be an ultrahighly efficient sorbent for removal of 2,4-D from groundwater, which could be also recycled and reused.

Проведен анализ сорбционных характеристик природных материалов (вермикулит, керамзит, перлит, цеолит Трейд ) при очистке кадмий- и хромсодержащих сточных вод с высокой нагрузкой по ХПК. Установлено, что цеолит обладает максимальными сорбционными характеристиками для Cd и Cr и наименьшим биологическим обрастанием. При использовании вермикулита и керамзита или смесей на их основе можно ожидать увеличения сорбционной емкости для Cd и Сr при микробном обрастании, неизбежно происходящем в условиях контакта с водами, загрязненными органическими соединениями и биогенами. При этом биообрастание может повысить иммобилизационную способность материалов для редоксзависимых металлов за счет ферментативных ресурсов бактериальных клеток, использующих их в качестве акцепторов электронов. Эффект микробного обрастания разнонаправленно изменял параметры материалов: для Cr в большинстве случаев уменьшение и для Cd значительное увеличение. При этом дополнительным эффектом иммобилизации Cr является его биологическое восстановление биопленками. Варьируя состав сорбционного материала, можно подбирать смеси, оптимально подходящие для очистки вод инфильтратов с полигонов твердых бытовых отходов с высокой нагрузкой по ХПК и биогенным элементам как при использовании in situ, так и в системах на поверхности.The analysis of the sorption characteristics of natural materials (vermiculite, expanded clay, perlite, Trade zeolite) during the purification of cadmium and chromium-containing leachate with a high COD load was carried out. It was determined that zeolite had the maximum sorption capacity for Cd and Cr and the lowest biological fouling. When using vermiculite and expanded clay or mixtures on their basis, one can expect an increase in the sorption capacity for Cd and Cr during microbial fouling that inevitably occurs during contacting with water polluted with organic compounds and nutrients. In this case biofouling can increase the immobilization properties of materials for redox-dependent metals due to the enzymatic resources of bacterial cells that use them as electron acceptors. The effect of microbial fouling changed the parameters of materials in different directions: for Cr, in most cases, downward, and for Cd, significantly upward. Moreover, chromium biological recovery by biofilms is an additional effect of immobilization. Varying the composition of the sorption material provides for selecting mixtures that are optimally suitable for the purification of leachates from solid waste landfills with high COD and nutrients load, both when used in situ and in surface systems.

A 1630 L/s activated sludge plant at Phoenix was limited to an average rate of 1050 L/s and operated, at 400-600 mg/L MLSS and 0.8-1.3 day solids retention time (SRT) due to bulking sludge and limited clarification capacity. Higher SRTs also produced uncontrolled Nocardia foaming and low dissolved oxygen due to partial nitrification. The City retained the services of a team of consultants to resolve these problems as well as to upgrade the plant to provide nitrification and total nitrogen removal. An anoxic selector design was implemented within the existing basin and the clarifiers were modified to improve inlet design and sludge transport. The modified advanced wastewater treatment (AWT) plant operating at 1450 L/s has averaged an effluent of 7.6 mg/L BOD5, 8.2 mg/L TSS, 1.3 mg/L NH4N, 4.1 mg/L NO3N and 2.9 mg/L TP. Oxygen transfer efficiency has increased about 80% in the nitrification-denitrification (NdeN) mode. The cost of modification/upgrading to AWT was approximately $730,000 and a 400 L/s increase in hydraulic capacity was realized. Upgrading costs were $5.63/m3 ($0.02/gal.)

In water and wastewater, phosphate anions are considered critical contaminants because they cause algae blooms and eutrophication. The present work aims at studying the removal of phosphate anions from aqueous solutions using silica particles functionalized with polyethylenimine. The parameters affecting the adsorption process such as pH, initial concentration, adsorbent dose, and the presence of competitive anions, such as carbonate, nitrate, sulfate and chromate ions, were studied. Equilibrium studies were carried out to determine their sorption capacity and the rate of phosphate ions uptake. The adsorption isotherm data fitted well with the Langmuir and Sips model. The maximum sorption capacity was 41.1 mg/g at pH 5, which decreased slightly at pH 7. The efficiency of phosphate removal adsorption increased at lower pH values and by increasing the adsorbent dose. The maximum phosphate removal was 80% for pH 5 and decreased to 75% for pH 6, to 73% for pH 7 and to 70% for pH 8, for initial phosphate concentration at about 1 mg/L and for a dose of adsorbent 100 mg/L. The removal rate was increased with the increase of the adsorbent dose. For example, for initial phosphate concentration of 4 mg/L the removal rate increased from 40% to 80% by increasing the dose from 0.1 to 2.0 g/L at pH 7. The competitive anions adversely affected phosphate removal. Though they were also found to be removed to a certain extent. Their co-removal provided an adsorbent which might be very useful for treating waters with low-level multiple contaminant occurrence in natural or engineered aquatic systems.
