SORPTION PURIFICATION OF WATERS USING THE SLAG ADSORBENT

The elemental, oxide, mineralogical and radionuclide composition of metallurgical slags is determined. The class of radiation danger of the studied industrial wastes is carried out. The principles оf metallurgical slag fractions sorption activity determination are substantiated theoretically and experimentally. Optimum conditions of chemical activation of slag, type of functional groups, charge and morphological characteristics of sorbent’s surface are defined. The dependences of quantitative indicators on the adsorption process parameters which have the implication for slag sorbents utilization in production environment are determined. The mechanism and kinetic properties are determined and adsorption equations are derived
