USE OF SORPTION WATER PURIFICATION DURING A HYDROLOGICAL EMERGENCY

YUSTLQ

Abstract

This article addresses water quality issues related to floods, one of the most common natural disasters on the planet. The main focus is on flood-related contaminants, such as phenols and iron, and the need to develop effective methods for their removal from water resources, especially for small communities experien­cing a shortage of clean water. The aim of the work is to analyze the contaminants and propose methods for additional water treatment based on sorption technologies. A variety of water treatment methods are described, including chemical and physicochemical ones, as well as their effectiveness in the context of purification from phenols and iron. Attention is paid to new sorption materials, such as the GlassBerk Glass Filter Element and ion exchange resins, which opens up new perspectives in the search for solutions for water purification from toxic pollutants. Calculations and a laboratory experiment demonstrate that a reasonable combination of different sorption materials can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of purified water. The information provided on permissible concentrations of pollutants emphasizes the importance of observing sanitary standards to protect public health. It is necessary to emphasize the need to adapt and implement new water treatment technologies in hydrological emergencies. It is important that future developments take into account not only the efficiency of purification, but also economic feasibility, minimization of environmental impact, and compliance with sanitary standards. Thus, the main idea of the article is the relevance of finding and applying effective methods of water purification during floods to ensure the health and safety of the population, and the importance of an integrated approach to this problem, which includes both scientific research and the practical application of new technologies.
