WATER TREATMENT METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C02F1/42 B01J49/00 C02F103/04 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used during exploration and exploitation of mineral deposits, particularly for purifying and improving the quality of underground water contaminated as a result of industrial activities, for consumption thereof. To realise the method, ion-exchange resins are pre-treated with active solutions prepared from distilled or spring water which has undergone freezing and thawing with removal of fractions rich in deuterium - a heavy hydrogen isotope, as well as electrodialytic treatment to form an anolyte and a catholyte. The obtained anolyte and catholyte are respectively post-fortified with hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide and used to regenerate cationite and anionite resins, followed by washing with distilled water. Formation of active clusters containing hydrated hydroxyl ions and hydroxonium ions in the ion exchange-treated water takes place via filtration thereof through a disintegrated mineral material consisting of a mixture of silicon and chalcedony.

EFFECT: method increases biological value of water and endows it with taste and biophysical properties typical of upland and spring water.
