FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: to implement the method, radiation of the running hydro-acoustic waves of audible and ultrasonic frequency ranges is formed, contaminated saponite-containing water is effected by radiation, hydro-acoustic coagulation and precipitation of saponite-containing particles, compaction of the water dam bodies and acoustic drying of the sediment are carried out. While the hydroacoustic radiators are placed on the floating sonar module (13) installed within the area of discharge of polluted saponite-containing water (5), in the central part of the sump and near the intake of clear water (7) optionally at least two mobile booms (11), forming transverse, overflow compartments of the sump (6), at least two mobile in-dam booms (12), forming longitudinal, hollow compartments of the sump (6) are used, wherein the floating sonar module (13) is installed in series behind the second boom (11). Optionally, at least three floating sludge pumps (14) are installed to ensure the selection of preliminary compacted saponite-containing sediment, its movement to the hollow compartment of the sump (6), in which the concentration, compaction and sediment dewatering are carried out. On both sides of the booms (11) and (12), floating pumps (15) are installed for their mounting or demounting. In addition, a hydroacoustic seal of the saponite-containing sediment is used for its dewatering (16) and drying (17).
EFFECT: method provides fast and high-quality clarification of large amounts of saponite-containing water, condensation and drying of the resulting saponite-containing sediment, cleaner operation of sumps.
