METHOD OF COMPLEX TREATMENT OF WATER Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: treatment of waste, underground and mine water from admixtures of heavy metals, arsenic, organic and radioactive contaminants. SUBSTANCE: treatment is effected in field of galvanic cell which consists of mixture of alloy and/or metal and/or mixture of metals with different carbon-containing material. Water thus treated is separated from materials of galvanic cell. Admixtures are settled at control of pH in accordance with the following formula: , where C_i is mole concentration of "i" inorganic contamination (ion); ν_i is in ion charge; N_in is amount of inorganic contamination; C_j is mole concentration of organic contamination; N_o is amount of organic contamination of water being treated. EFFECT: facilitated procedure; enhanced economical efficiency, ecological safety and enhanced operational efficiency. 5 cl, 5 tbl
