In-stream settling tank for effective mine water clarification

In the case of mechanical treatment of mine water in settling tanks according to the existing technology the concentration of suspended solids during the discharge of clarified effluents into water bodies does not correspond to the maximum permissible content of mechanical impurities set for surface water bodies. The technology of mine water cleaning has been improved due to the introduction of a horizontal settling tank of modernized construction and installation of purification of fast open granular filters with downward liquid flow at the final stage. The expected technological parameters of the proposed horizontal settling tank for the conditions of water disposal of the operating coal mining enterprise are determined. The dependences between the depth of sedimentation of particles of the suspension of a certain hydraulic size in the proposed horizontal settling tank, its length and clarifying efficiency of mine water pre-treated with a solution of aluminium sulphate are obtained. It is established that the overall efficiency of clarifying of mine waters pumped to the surface by a coal mining enterprise, after treatment by the proposed technology will be 94-95% of the initial concentration of suspended solids, which does not exceed the relevant quality of surface water.

The anthropogenic load on natural environment has reached a level that threatens the population health. The main causes of water sources pollution are the discharge of untreated or insufficiently treated wastewaters by industrial enterprises. These and other reasons lead to the spread of various types of diseases among the population. A cause-and-effect relationship between the qualitative and quantitative state of the surface waters of the Samara River and certain diseases of the population living in the Western Donbas region has been established. The method of statistical analysis based on Pearson correlation has been applied. Reliable correlation between the pollutants content in surface waters of Samara River and the increase of the population diseases in the investigated territory has been proven. With high degree of probability, the following diseases are closely related to water quality: diseases of the blood, hematopoietic organs and disorders of immune system; diseases of endocrine system, digestive and metabolic disorders; circulatory system and digestion diseases; diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The obtained results indicate the need for further research taking into consideration the regional specificity of conditions and factors of environmental pollution, development of advanced water treatment to reduce the morbidity rate of the population.

Development of the oil-contaminated wastewater treatment technology for trucking companies

Industrial activity of trucking companies belongs to environmentally dangerous processes, which leads to the pollution of natural ecosystems, both in local and regional scale. Currently, there are strict requirements for the quality of wastewater discharged from trucking companies and car-wash sites into the outer sewer or the storm water network. This erases the urgency of the installation of local treatment facilities and implementing of the water circulating supply systems with maximum water consumption and minimum discharge of wastewater into natural water bodies. The improved technology of wastewater treatment for the trucking companies with preliminary stage of the multilayer oil-trap treatment is presented. The modeling of sedimentation process of wastewater contaminated with petroleum products allowed determine structural parameters of the proposed oil trap. The main technological parameters of wastewater treatment according to the proposed technological scheme have been determined. Implementation of the proposed technology at the trucking company allows reduce the content of petroleum products and suspended solids according to Ukrainian normative standards for water quality. This improvement minimizes the impact of contaminated wastewater on neighboring water bodies and extends capacity for water reuse in the technological process of trucking companies.
