In this study, the influence of road salts on groundwater was investigated. The use of anti-ice reagents in winter requires certain precautions since the main chemical composition of the salts is chlorides. At the same time, the widely used sodium chloride does not form ion pairs in water, which means that it has a high migration ability and a weak sorption potential. In addition, the concentration of chloride salts in the components of the environment is so high (10-140 ppm). Therefore, the rapid assessment of the concentration of technogenic chlorine ion in water by pH is an urgent task. The average chemical composition of groundwater in Bishkek and its environs was considered, and the concentration of chlorine ions in water from 72 wells was determined. To develop the pattern of dispersion of chlorine ions, the thermodynamic modeling of the sodium chloride-water system was carried out at a minimum of Gibbs energy with a wide range of water temperature changes corresponding to the flow regime of cold groundwater. The concentration distribution of the components, charged particles, as well as the values of pH and Eh were determined. As a result, an empirical equation and a scheme for rapid assessment of the quantitative content of chlorine ions in water bodies were compiled.
The disposal of municipal solid wastes (MSW) is one of the important issues today. The MSW is generally disposed of in a landfill. The disintegration of wastes in landfill generates the wastewater known as leachate and it became one of the budding environmental impacts. The landfill leachate seeps into natural ponds next to the Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) landfill. The MSWs are dumped with an irregular landfill in Bishkek, and it has been observed that this situation creates many environmental pollution problems (air pollution due to the combustion of wastes and generated biogas, due to leakage of leachate from the landfill) around the landfill. The leachate in the ponds is not treated and leaks into the environment. In this study, the potential of the coagulation-flocculation(CF) and electrooxidation (EO) processes was investigated for the treatment of leachate from the sanitary landfill located in Bishkek-Kyrgyzstan. The initial COD (1400 ± 50 mg/L), TOC (540 ± 15 mg/L), and ammonia nitrogen (315 ± 10 mg/L) from landfill leachate were treated by the CF process as 33, 23, and 14% at pH 6.5 with alum dosage of 5 g/L, and 40, 29 and 10.1% at pH 8.5 with ferric chloride dosage of 5 g/L, respectively.Removal efficiencies at applied currents of 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0 A with an EO reactor using borondoped diamond (BDD) plate anode and stainless steel (SS) plate cathode were 67.20, 88.30, and 97.90% for COD, 60.10, 85.38, and 95.53% for TOC, and 48.9, 94.6 and 99.8% for ammonia nitrogen, respectively. As a result, it was seen that Bishkek's irregular solid waste landfilling leachate, which causes environmental pollution, was effectively treated with the EO process. By establishing a regular landfill, Bishkek municipal solid wastes must be disposed of in the landfill and treated of the leachate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
