Abstract

The use of the developed composite sorbent based on the plant wastes (sunflower seed husks) and montmorillonite clay was shown to be highly effective for water purification from iron ions and potentially pathogenic microorganisms. It was shown experimentally that the developed composite sorbent at concentrations of up to 50 mg/L is capable of purifying water from iron ions under static and dynamic conditions. When a suspension of Escherichia coli was filtered at a rate of 10 mL/min, 1 g of the composite sorbent adsorbed 556 million E. coli colony-forming units (CFUs), showing that the sorbent is 1.7 times more effective than the complex sorbent of the replaceable Barrier-4 filter cartridge.
