PURIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER FROM LEAD IONS WITH FILTERS LOADED WITH CRUSHED BRIQUETTED PEAT

Abstract

The article considers the issues of pollution of fresh water bodies with industrial wastewater containing lead ions Pb+2. Based on the conducted studies, it was established that the sorption efficiency decreases with increasing grain size of briquetted peat; The process of ion sorption by briquetted peat is most effective during 5 minutes of contact, then it slows down. Up to 98% of Pb+2 ions are removed within 5 minutes, the sorption capacity at saturation was: for Pb+2 - 0.8205 mmol/g (170.00 mg/g). The obtained research results indicate the possibility of using briquetted peat as an effective sorbent for wastewater treatment. Based on the conducted studies, a technology for water purification from lead ions has been developed.
