Modernization of the gas emissions treatment scheme of sodium bisulfite production line from sulfur dioxide

Chemical industry enterprises are the main environmental pollutants that cause environmental problems. This is due to the production technology and the toxicity of some substances. In this paper, it is proposed to purify the gas emissions at the JSC Karpov Chemical Plant formed during the production of sodium bisulfite from sulfur dioxide by the adsorption method. As a sorption material, a modified energy waste - carbonate sludge from the chemical water treatment plant of the Naberezhnye Chelny CHPP - was used. The technological characteristics of the granular sorption material are presented. A batch adsorber with a fixed layer of granular sorption material is calculated. The modernization of the technological scheme for cleaning gas emissions from sulfur dioxide of the production line of sodium bisulfite at JSC Chemical Plant named after L.Ya. Karpov is proposed. The calculation of the prevented environmental damage and the economic effect of the modernization of the technological scheme is made.

The Use of Carbonate Sludge in the Production of Porous Aggregate

The possibilities of obtaining porous fillers based on carbonate sludge and liquid-glass composition are considered. One of the issues of industrial waste disposal is the creation of waste-free technologies. The use of nanotechnology-based carbonate sludge in the production of porous aggregates increases environmental safety. A porous aggregate with high physical and mechanical properties was obtained. The use of carbonate sludge in the production of porous aggregate contributes to: a) recycling of industrial waste; b) environmental protection; C) expanding the raw material base for obtaining ceramic materials for construction. A patent of the Russian Federation was obtained for the obtained method of producing a porous aggregate using a liquid-glass composition.

The Mechanism of Adsorptive Purification of Industrial Waste Water from Phenols (the Example of Aktobe Oil Refining LLP)

The mechanism of adsorptive purification of oil refining wastewater from phenols by modified carbonate sludge of chemical water treatment (CWT) has been studied. Phenols in wastewater are extremely toxic substances. In the legislative order, the sanitary and hygienic standards set the maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of phenol in water, which is 0.001 mg/dm3. A process scheme of adsorption purification of wastewater from phenols with modified carbonate sludge, which is a large-tonnage waste from the power industry, is proposed. An adsorption filter has been designed for effective additional cleaning at Aktobe Oil Refining LLP.

Carbonate sludge as a nanostructured material for environmental engineering

The behaviour features of carbonate sludge which are a waste of water treatment process were studied in aqueous and oil environment. Based on the analysis of images of carbonate sludge particles in liquid media made by laser scanning confocal microscopes, the existence of nanostructures of various chemical compositions having several hundred nanometers in size, both single and forming porous conglomerate structures with a developed surface was revealed. The existence of such fragmentation of fine carbonate sludge powder particles in liquid media suggests that the mechanism of action of sludge additives is similar to that of nanoparticles. It was shown that the waste of the water treatment can be used as a cheap and environmentally friendly nanostructured material for industrial and environmental engineering, in particular, to improve the properties of hydrocarbon fuels. If necessary, the effect of carbonate sludge can be enhanced by changing its composition at the coagulation stage or by adding other nanoparticles. The data on the composition and texture characteristics of used sludge were given.
