The composition and properties of drinking water supply systems Ukraine must meet STATE STANDARDS 2.2.4-171-10 "Hygienic requirements for drinking water intended for human consumption". According to them, the concentration of iron for drinking water should not exceed 0,2 mg/dm3. Increased concentrations of iron dramatically reduce its consumer qualities. Water gets an unpleasant taste, yellow-brown color and becomes unusable for use, it is a reason of the rejection in the textile, food, paper and cosmetic industry...

Water resources are the national wealth of any country and one of the basic foundations of its economic development. The growth of cities, rapid industrial development, intensification of agriculture, a significant expansion of irrigated land and many other factors make the problems of rational water resource management more difficult. The activity of the mining and chemical enterprise mainly leads to the soil and the water pollution. After the closure of the enterprise, it is necessary to develop a remediation pr...

The paper deals with processing the waste generated in paper recycling: initial waste of paper mill and sludge after wastewater treatment. The authors have analyzed characteristics of the waste of paper recycling generated in paper recycling plant near Kyiv (Ukraine): calorific value, moisture and ash content. The heating value of waste of paper recycling range from 6.5 to 24 kJ/kg and significantly depends on moisture content. Potential environmental impact depends largely on the physical and chemical characteris...
