Industrial pollution of the hydrosphere and problems of water treatment in Russia

Abstract

The statistical data of water use by various industries in Russia were presented and analyzed for the years 2010 to 2016. The problems of saving water resources and developing market for environmental services in Russia were considered. The dynamics of industrial water consumption and water treatment was estimated. The structure of water use and the wastewater disposal for different branches of economy is represented. The constructive proposals for industrial water treatment systems were made. It was shown that sorption method is one of the most promising and environment friendly. The composite sorbents were synthesized from reagents being produced in Russia. For comparison the use and effectiveness of the composite sorbent and imported ion-exchanger was investigated. The developing closed water systems based on the composite sorbents was suggested. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
