This paper presents the results of studies on the use of bentonite from the Taganskoye field for purification of mine water from the mining industry from heavy metal ions (MI). It has been established that the use of the thermo-acid-activated form of bentonite clay allows the removal of MI Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ions from mine water by 99.6, 94.7, 98.9, 99.5 %, respectively, which ensures that the maximum permissible concentration of fishery is achieved at selected optimal conditions that were identified on the basis of an active experiment. A comparative analysis of the presented results of mass spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy shows that they are valid and do not contradict the obtained experimental data on the composition of exchange cations and structural characteristics in ultrafine mineral phases of bentonite clay samples of natural and thermo-acid activated forms It has been established that during acid activation of bentonite clays, the structure of montmorillonite is retained upon extraction of up to 80 % of magnesium, iron, and aluminum ions and is destroyed only upon their almost complete extraction.

In this work the results on the batch and column adsorption of copper and some associated ions by employing linden and poplar sawdust as a low-cost adsorbent are presented. The mine water from a local abandoned copper mine, as well as synthetic solutions of those ions which are the main constituents of the mine water were both used as a model-system in this study. The adsorption ability of the chosen sawdust to adsorb heavy metal ions is considered as a function of the initial pH of the solution and kind of metal ions. At lower pH of solutions the adsorption percentage (AD %) decreases leading to a zero AD % at pH < 1.1. Maximum AD % is achieved at 3.5 < pH < 5. It was found that poplar and linden sawdust have both almost equal adsorption capacities against copper ions. The highest AD % ( ?80%) was achieved for Cu2+, while for Fe2+ it was slightly above 10%. The other considered ions (Zn2+ and Mn2+) were within this interval. The results obtained in the batch mode were verified through the column test by using the real mine water originating from an acid mine drainage (AMD) of the copper mine 'Cerovo', RTB Bor. The breakthrough curves are presented as a function of the aqueous phase volume passed through the column allowing having an insight into the column adsorption features. Breakthrough points were determined for copper, manganese and zinc ions. A very high adsorption degree - higher than 99% was achieved in these experiments for all mentioned ions. After completing the adsorption, instead of desorption, the loaded sawdust was drained, dried and burned; the copper bearing ash was then leached with a controlled volume of sulphuric acid solution to concentrate copper therein. The obtained leach solution had the concentration of copper higher than 15 g dm-3 and the amount of H2SO4 high enough to serve as a supporting electrolyte suitable to be treated by the electrowinning for recovery of copper. The technology process based on the column adsorption is proposed and discussed.

It has been known for a long time that electron irradiation induces damage in maximal valence transition metal oxides such as TiO2, V2O5, and WO3, of which transition metal ions have an empty d-shell. This type of damage is excited by electronic transition and can be explained by the Knoteck-Feibelman mechanism (K-F mechanism). Although the K-F mechanism predicts that no damage should occur in transition metal oxides of which the transition metal ions have a partially filled d-shell, namely submaximal valence transition metal oxides, our recent study on ReO3 shows that submaximal valence transition metal oxides undergo damage during electron irradiation.ReO3 has a nearly cubic structure and contains a single unit in its cell: a = 3.73 Å, and α = 89°34'. TEM specimens were prepared by depositing dry powders onto a holey carbon film supported on a copper grid. Specimens were examined in Hitachi H-9000 and UHV H-9000 electron microscopes both operated at 300 keV accelerating voltage. The electron beam flux was maintained at about 10 A/cm2 during the observation.

Electron energy loss spectra of transition metal oxides, which show various fine structures in inner shell edges, have been extensively studied. These structures and their positions are related to the oxidation state of metal ions. In this sence an influence of anions coordinated with the metal ions is very interesting. In the present work, we have investigated the energy loss near-edge structures (ELNES) of some iron compounds, i.e. oxides, chlorides, fluorides and potassium cyanides. In these compounds, Fe ions (Fe2+ or Fe3+) are octahedrally surrounded by six ligand anions and this means that the local symmetry around each iron is almost isotropic.EELS spectra were obtained using a JEM-2000FX with a Gatan Model-666 PEELS. The energy resolution was about leV which was mainly due to the energy spread of LaB6 -filament. The threshole energies of each edges were measured using a voltage scan module which was calibrated by setting the Ni L3 peak in NiO to an energy value of 853 eV.
