For the treatment of domestic
and industrial wastewater, the
following methods are used: mechanical, chemical, physico-chemical,
biological.
Mechanical treatment is the separation of undissolved coarse
impurities of mineral and organic nature from wastewater. To do this,
the following methods are used: straining, settling, filtering.
Straining-retention of the largest contaminants and partially
suspended substances on grates and sieves;
Sedimentation-separation of suspended substances from wastewater
by
gravity on sand traps, sedimentation tanks, as well as on oil traps;
Filtration-the retention of a very fine suspension in the suspended
state on mesh and granular filters.
Mechanical cleaning is used for the separation of insoluble mineral
and organic impurities from wastewater [4, p. 4].
The main methods of chemical treatment of industrial wastewater
are neutralization and oxidation. Electrochemical treatment also applies
to oxidative methods.
Chemical treatment can be used as an independent method before
the supply of industrial wastewater to the recycling water supply system,
as well as before their discharge into a reservoir or into the city sewer
network. The use of chemical cleaning in some cases is advisable (as a
preliminary) before biological or physico-chemical cleaning. Chemical
treatment is also used as a method of deep purification of industrial
wastewater for the purpose of disinfection, discoloration or extraction
of various components from them. In most cases, chemical methods are
preferred for the local treatment of industrial wastewater [1, p. 102].
The oxidative treatment method is used to neutralize industrial
wastewater containing toxic impurities (cyanides, complex cyanides
of copper and zinc) or compounds that are impractical to extract from
wastewater, as well as to purify by other methods (hydrogen sulfide,
sulfides). Such types of waste water are
found in machine-building
(electroplating shops), mining (processing plants of lead-zinc and copper
ores), petrochemical (oil refineries and petrochemical plants), pulp and
paper (pulp cooking shops) and other industries [1, p. 113].
A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction between substances
that have the properties of an acid and a base, which leads to the loss
of the characteristic properties of both compounds. The most typical
neutralization reaction in aqueous solutions occurs between hydrated
hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions contained in strong acids and bases,
respectively [1, p. 102].
Physical and chemical methods play a significant role in the
treatment of industrial wastewater. They are used both independently
and in combination with mechanical, chemical and biological methods.
In recent years, the field of application of physico-chemical methods
of purification is expanding, and their share among other methods of
purification is increasing.
Physical and chemical purification methods include coagulation,
flocculation, sorption, flotation, extraction, ion exchange, hyperfiltration,
dialysis, evaporation, evaporation, crystallization, magnetic treatment,
as well as methods associated with the imposition of an electric field-
electrocoagulation, electroflotation [1, p. 124].
Coagulation is the process of aggregation of dispersed particles
due to their interaction and integration into aggregates. Small
(primary) particles in such aggregates are connected by the forces of
intermolecular interaction. The clumping of homogeneous particles
is called homocoagulation, and heterogeneous particles are called
heterocoagulation. Substances that can cause particle coagulation.
they are generally called coagulants, and in water treatment-coagulants
or hydrolyzable coagulants. The latter not only cause coagulation of
pollution particles, but also form, hydrolyzing, slightly soluble products
that can combine into large flakes [2, p. 136].
Flocculation is the process of aggregation of dispersed particles
under the action of high-molecular compounds called flocculants.
Flocculants are used to expand the optimal coagulation ranges
(pH and temperature), as well as to increase the density and strength of
the resulting flakes and reduce the consumption of coagulants, which
increases the reliability and throughput of treatment facilities [2, p. 145].
Sorption is the process of absorbing a substance from the
environment by a solid or liquid called sorbents. The absorbed substance
is called sorbate. During the absorption of a substance (adsorbate), the
latter is absorbed in the entire volume of the liquid or solid absorbent.
Absorption is due to both the process of diffusion of the absorbent into
the absorbate and the processes of dissolution. Adsorption is understood
as the process of absorption of substances (adsorbates) located in gases
and liquids, occurring on the surface of solids (adsorbents). Sorption,
accompanied by the chemical interaction of the sorbent with the absorbed
substance, is called chemisorption.
Sorption treatment is recommended for wastewater contaminated
with aromatic compounds, weak electrolytes or non-electrolytes, dyes,
unsaturated compounds, hydrophobic aliphatic compounds [2, p. 149].
