Sorption purification of acid storage facility water from iron and titanium on organic polymeric materials

Abstract

Obtaining and production of metals from natural raw materials causes a large amount of liquid, solid, and gaseous wastes of various hazard classes that have a negative impact on the environment. In the production of titanium dioxide from ilmenite concentrate, hydrolytic sulphuric acid is formed, which includes various metal cations, their main part is iron (III) and titanium (IV) cations. Hydrolytic acid waste is sent to acid storage facilities, which have a high environmental load. The article describes the technology of ion exchange wastewater treatment of acid storage facility from iron (III) and titanium (IV) cations, which form compounds with sulphate ions and components of organic waste in acidic environments. These compounds are subjected to dispersion and dust loss during the evaporation of a water technogenic facility, especially in summer season. Sorption of complex iron (III) cations [FeSO4]+ and titanyl cations TiO2+ from sulphuric acid solutions on cation exchange resins KU-2-8, Puromet MTS9580, and Puromet MTS9560 was studied. Sorption isotherms were obtained both for individual [FeSO4]+ and TiO2+ cations and in the joint presence. The values of the equilibrium constants at a temperature of 298 K and the changes in the Gibbs energy are estimated. The capacitive characteristics of the sorbent were determined for individual cations and in the joint presence.

Research on Hydrolithospheric Processes Using the Results of Groundwater Inflow Testing

“…However, to provide statistically robust evidence of stationarity, specific techniques are necessary. Here, methods like constructing the process's correlogram and segmenting it into sequential observation groups were chosen for comparative analysis [49][50][51].…”

Methodology to Increase the Efficiency of the Mineral Water Extraction Process

“…Regional sources of pollution include intensive agricultural and irrigated areas, where mineral and organic fertilizers and crop treatments are systematically applied; residential and industrial areas in urban districts with a concentration of pollution in groundwater associated with storage sites; and discharges and leaks of industrial and urban liquid and solid fuels. Areas that store hydrocarbon products underground are mentioned [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60].…”
