Abstract

Currently, active research is underway on methods of wastewater treatment from toxic metals such as cadmium, lead, copper, etc., using new composite sorbents, improving ion-exchange treatment, precipitation, for example, in the form of sulfides or oxalates, sorption by ash from wood combustion, biosorption by plants. At the same time, one of the promising areas is the use of sorption wastewater treatment technologies using peat. The presence of significant peat reserves in the Republic of Belarus creates real prerequisites for the production of cheap, environmentally friendly sorbents based on modified briquetted peat. This work is a continuation of the study of the sorption properties of crushed briquetted peat and is devoted to the purification of wastewater from zinc ions. Physicochemical, technological, mathematical research methods were used.

The analysis of literary data on the degree of pollution of natural water bodies with zinc ions was performed. It was found that zinc ions mainly enter water bodies with insufficiently purified wastewater. The most effective way to prevent pollution of water bodies with zinc ions is a deeper purification of industrial wastewater. Purification of industrial wastewater from heavy metal ions, including zinc ions, is a very urgent task, as evidenced by the number of scientific publications devoted to this problem. Research is conducted on the purification of wastewater from zinc by sorption methods [21–28], biosorption, bioaccumulation [30–35], electrochemical [36–37] reagent methods [38–41]. The kinetics of sorption of Zn2+ ions by briquetted peat was studied. It has been established that with an increase in the grain size of briquetted peat, the efficiency of sorption decreases. Sufficient intensity of the process is characterized by the fact that for 5 minutes of contact, the effect of sorption of Zn2+ ions is E = 85.71 %, and at 20 and 40 minutes, respectively, 96 % and 99 %; The sorption capacity at saturation is for Zn2+ – 0.0045 mmol / g (0.29 mg / g). Using the equations of diffusion and chemical kinetics, it was established that the sorption process occurs in the diffusion mode, while the contribution to the overall rate of the process is made by the stage of chemical interaction of metal ions with the functional groups of peat.

Briquetted peat is an effective sorbent for wastewater treatment from Zn2+ ions. The sorption process is practically complete after 20 minutes.
