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.

Summary

Introduction

In the world there is no country, which would have not affected by environmental problems. Many imported building materials and reagents which use in the water treatment cannot withstand severe climatic conditions These can be successfully used only in the southern regions of our country. The aim of the present study was analyzing statistical data of water use by various industries in Russia in the past seven years (from 2010 to 2016) and investigating the use, effectiveness of the composite sorbent for the water treatment in comparison with imported ion-exchangers. The volume of wastewater discharged into natural water bodies gradually decreased from 2010 to 2014 and began to grow in 2015 (line 4, figure 1b). Water use of manufacturing is only 6% due to consecutive and closed water systems, but wastewater disposal is 18%. The wastewater treatment can be achieved by means of sorption technologies
