Hydrometallurgical Technology for Processing of Galvanic Sludges

The problem of processing galvanic sludges, formed as a result of neutralization of technological solutions and wastewater containing heavy non-ferrous metals is considered in this study. At present, sludges are transported to disposal area and are not used in any way. Typically, such sludges contain significant amounts of chromium and nickel, which creates environmental hazard. Investigated sludge contains up to 6,6% Ni and up to 7,4% Cr. The hydrometallurgical process to treatment of these sludges is carried out. Solutions of sulfuric acid and ammonia were used as lixiviants. It is shown that when using a solution of sulfuric acid with pH=1,5, extraction of up to 93,3% Cu, 70,2 Ni, 90,3 Zn is achieved. For selective nickel recovery sorption concentration by Lewatit TP207 is proposed. Keywords: Galvanic sludge, hydrometallurgy leaching, nickel, ion-exchange resin

Creating and Studying of Enterosorbent with Harsh-Fixed Antioxidants which Have Enzymatic Properties

The enterosorbent-antioxidant is created on the basis the silica clay of the Astrakhan region as a result of theoretical and experimental studies. The antioxidant properties enterosorbent SV-1-AO were studied. The studies to elucidate the possible deactivation of hydrogen peroxide in the gastrointestinal tract of animals in the application of enterosorbent SV-1-AO were carried out. The practical application of the product of the sorption concentration of antioxidant enzymes to ensure the safety of life is shown

Gas-Dynamic Kinetics of Vapour Sampling in the Detection of Explosives

The dynamic sorption concentration of explosive vapours on concentrators made of a metal mesh, and the transportation of explosive vapours through the extended metal channels are considered. The efficiency of the concentration and transportation is determined by the breakthrough of the substance’s molecules through the channels. The research methods we used were breakthrough calculation theory and experiment. When calculating the breakthrough, a mesh was presented as a set of parallel identical channels. Wire mesh and extended channels were made of stainless steel. The breakthrough is determined through the specific frequency of the collisions between the molecules and the channel’s surface. This is presented as a function of the ratio of the substance diffusion flow to the channel’s surface to the airflow through the channel. The conditions for high-speed concentration, complete capture of explosive vapours, and low vapour losses during their transportation through the extended channels were determined theoretically and experimentally. For a concentrator made of a mesh, the condition of a high concentration rate at a high breakthrough (up to 80%) was determined. The described sorption concentration is used in portable gas chromatographic detectors of explosive vapours of the EKHO series.
