Abstract.1 This work reviews the main methods of nitrogen and phosphorus removal from wastewater. The method of simultaneous removal of highly concentrated nitrogen and phosphorus was analyzed by physical and chemical precipitation, forming struvite, a by-product of magnesium ammonium orthophosphate hexahydrate. Laboratory investigations were conducted on the test solutions with the concentrations of ammonium nitrogen, phosphates, ions of magnesium and calcium corresponding to the ones of relevant elements in wastewater of swine complexes located in Lviv region, Ukraine. The analyses were done at various molar ratios of magnesium and phosphate ions and at various pH values. The comparative thermal analysis of chemical precipitation products and pure struvite was performed. The optimal conditions were identified to experience the maximum efficiency of simultaneous removal of ammonium nitrogen and phosphate ions from wastewater, forming MgNH 4 PO 4 ·6H 2 O. Recommendations on the use of the obtained product as a fertilizer were elaborated.
The article deals with the main methods of nutrient removal from wastewater, as well as presents promising technologies and techniques. Struvite was characterized by a complex phosphorus fertilizer. The influence of struvite on the processes of germination of cultivated plants was investigated. The possibility of creating a growth substrate as an inexpensive and effective alternative to the disposal of the man-made wastes that contain an organic component was identified. The composition of the growth substrate was selected to ensure its functional properties. The growth substrate was tested by bioindication. Subsequently, the modification of the substrate by adding natural sorbents.
This work is dedicated to the development of scientific technologies of sewage water clarification of different industrial enterprises from chrome and nickel ions through adsorption by bentonite from Cherkasy field under dynamic conditions. The perspective and efficiency of application of bentonite clays for treatment of sewage water are confirmed by their advantages over other sorbents, that is: they win in accessibility, cost, and possibility of regeneration and multiple usages. The studies proved the expediency of bentonite clays usage for treatment of sewage water from chrome (III), zinc (ІІ) and nickel(II) ions. The static activities were determined and isotherms of adsorption of nickel, zinc and chrome ions were built. Deposition by gravity was chosen as the most optimal method reset of spend sorbent. Dosage of flocculants allows accelerating the process and increasing the degree of deposition. The basic parameters of the precipitation process of the used sorbent were established. The technological schemes of drain water purification from heavy metal ions contamination were developed; in addition to the following sedimentation and regeneration of sorbents.
This work is dedicated to the development of scientific technologies of wastewater purification of different industrial enterprises from chrome ions through adsorption with the help of bentonite from Cherkasy field under dynamic conditions. The prospects and efficacy of bentonite clays application for wastewater purification are confirmed by their advantages over other sorbents, that is: they win in accessibility, cost, and possibility of regeneration and multiple applications. The level of wastewater purification during adsorption with a stationary sorbent layer under static conditions and under conditions of perfect mixing at different concentrations of chromium ions (III) and quantities of the dosed sorbent was determined. The significant difference in the purification level ranges from 70-87% and is more dependent on the stock concentration of chromium ions. It was found that the purification time of the same volumes of solutions for low concentrations is almost twice shorter under constant stirring, and of the same level at the stock concentrations of 1500 mg/dm 3. The technological schemes of wastewater purification from the heavy metal ions contamination were developed.
