Investigation of the process of desalination of the concentrate of reverse osmosis plants by energy waste

Abstract

PURPOSE. To investigate the cleaning process of the reverse osmosis water filtration system (ROWFS) concentrate with energy waste, to obtain and determine its quality indicators, to study the mechanism of sulfate and chloride ions adsorption by sorption material on the basis of energy waste, to consider the process of sulfate and chloride ion adsorption by this sorption material under static and dynamic conditions.METHODS. The method of variable weights was used to determine the adsorption capacity of the sorption material. Methods of titrimetric and photocolorimetric analysis were used during determining of water quality indicators.RESULTS. In this paper the technology of desalination of the ROP concentrate by the adsorption method was studied. Under static conditions the adsorption isotherm has been constructed. On the basis of ground sludge the granular sorption material has been developed. The possibility of using ionexchange filters with granular loading has been considered, the adsorption curve under dynamic conditions has been constructed.CONCLUSION. The sorption based on energy waste - carbonate sludge material for the purification of ROWFS concentrate has been developed. Adsorption isotherms of sulfate and chloride ions were constructed on the basis of experimental data. For investigation the purification of the ROWFS concentrate under dynamic conditions the granular sorption material was obtained. The adsorption technology of ROWFS concentrate purification from sulfate and chloride ions by energy waste is presented.
