Abstract

Using the macro-electrophoresis method, electrosurface properties of the synthesized composite sorbents were experimentally determined. It was found that their surface has a mosaic structure that contains functional groups, different in chemical behavior, causing the sorption properties.

The physicochemical characteristics of the processes of water purification from chromium(VI) and uranium(VI) compounds using sorption-reduction materials based on the nanoscale Fe0 and clay minerals were investigated. It was found that the composite sorbents exhibit a high sorption capacity with respect to heavy metals in the anionic form. The removal efficiency of chromium and uranium from water is significantly affected by the pH of the aqueous medium and the content of the immobilized nanoscale Fe0 in the composite. The possibility of using highly dispersed sorbents in deep water purification from heavy metal ions was shown.
