CLEANING THE GROUND WATER FROM IRON USING MODIFIED ANTHRACITE
Abstract
One of the important ways to increase the efficiency of purification of groundwater is a search for new materials with greater selectivity and catalytic activity for removal of iron and manganese ions. Today, the following materials are most widely used as a load: quartz sand, anthracite and others. The anthracites were selected as research object. The anthracite pellets were coated with iron and manganese oxides by exothermic combustion in a muffle furnace and microwave furnace. The elemental composition of the surface of the obtained materials was investigated. The results of comparative analysis of the obtained materials in comparison with the initial anthracite for cleaning groundwater from iron and manganese are presented. A number of conclusions about the effectiveness of the obtained materials were made based on the experimental studies conducted on the water utilities
