As groundwater serves as a main source of drinking water in many regions of the world, it is necessary to recognise the potential of mine waters and their real influence on its quality. This study analyses the long-term dynamics of changes in drinking water quality from deep wells S1, S2, and S3 comprising the Żelatowa intake (Chrzanów, Poland), which is located in an area of intensive mining activity. Analysis of the data showed that mining operations are affecting water quality, as observed by upward trends for electrical conductivity, total hardness, and concentrations of certain ions between 2016 and 2021, and downward trends from 2022 onwards. The greatest adverse changes in water quality were observed in well S2 (Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, SO₄²⁻ concentrations and total hardness do not meet the requirements of Directive 2020/2184), the water requiring mixing with water from other wells to ensure that it is of suitable quality for drinking purposes. The PHREEQC software was successfully used to predict the chemical composition of the final mixture, which meets the requirements of appropriate regulations. The water from the Żelatowa intake can have an adverse effect on the water supply system, which has been proven by several scaling and corrosion indices. Continuous monitoring of the physicochemical parameters of these waters is essential to ensure the safety of the drinking water supply for the surrounding population.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100272"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142699365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No method has yet been developed to eliminate the environmental damage caused by the soda industry entirely. The leakage of highly contaminated soda production wastewater into soils, groundwater, and surface water can cause corrosion of water infrastructure and deterioration of water quality for both drinking and agricultural use. Soil contamination from post-production wastewater leads to erosion and adversely affects vegetation. The work focused on the removal of chloride, sulfate, calcium, and sodium from soda production wastewater by precipitation using organic solvents such as isopropylamine (IPA), diisopropylamine (DIPA), propylamine (PA) and ethylamine (EA) in various proportions. Statistical modelling through Bayesian beta regression was used to select the amine most effectively removing the tested ions in precipitate form. The effect of precipitating agent dosage on the pH and conductivity of the solution was also investigated. Samples of wastewater obtained from the soda industry were characterized by high values of pH (up to 11.9), specific electrolytic conductivity (up to 128 mS cm⁻¹), and high concentrations of sodium (up to 13 g L⁻¹), chloride (up to 60 g L⁻¹) and calcium (up to 24 g L⁻¹) ions. Solvent-based precipitation showed that organic solvents are effective in precipitating salts from wastewater from the soda industry.

For this purpose, carbon black nanoparticles (CBNs) were surface modified with vinyltrimthoxysilane (VTMS) at concentrations of 1, 5 and 10 by sol-gel method. Before, the CBNs were hydroxylated to increase silane grafting content. The surface modified was evaluated using XPS, FTIR, TGA, BET and FESEM analysis. Results showed a great change in the CBNs nature from hydrophilic to hydrophobic after silane modification that could help in more oil absorption and water repletion at the same time. In fact, the water contact angle (WCA) of the CBNs changed from 40 to 135°. The pure and silane grafted CBNs were added to the tire tread compound to prepare elastomeric nanocomposites as oil sorbent. The results showed that the modified nanocomposite had a higher reinforcement index than the samples contained pure and hydroxylated CBNs. The effects of CBNs on WCA, OCA and oil absorption capacity of the samples were also determined.

Systematic assessment of groundwater and leachate contamination may be useful in selecting the appropriate method of leachate management or treatment processes. The use of indicators to quantify the contamination potential of leachate and groundwater in the vicinity of MSW could help landfill managers assess their quality. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the representativeness of selected indicator methods for analyzing the temporal variability of leachate and groundwater properties in the vicinity of two municipal waste landfills in a Central European country (Poland). The leachate pollution index (LPI), sub-LPI and adjusted leachate pollution index (r-LPI) were used to assess the quality of leachate water, while the landfill water pollution index (LWPI) was used to assess the variability of groundwater quality. The results confirmed that LWPI is an effective method for assessing the quality of groundwater in the vicinity of municipal waste landfills. The obtained results confirm the negative impact of landfills, despite the insulation used. LWPI showed poor quality of groundwater and visible impact of the landfill (landfill W, average LWPI - 2.34) and moderately polluted waters and minor impact of the landfill (landfill S, average LWPI - 1.37). In most cases, it was observed that two parameters, EC and TOC, are the main factors contributing to the deterioration of groundwater quality. The sub-LPI analysis showed that leachates from both landfills have a very low content of heavy metals, so they should not have a negative impact on the biological treatment process. The obtained r-LPI values were in all cases higher than the calculated LPI values. For landfill S, the average r-LPI was 26.3 (Z-1) and 25.7 (Z-2). However, the average LPI was 13.5 (Z-1) and 13.2 (Z-2). For landfill W, the average r-LPI was 14.6 and the average LPI was 11.4. Analysis conducted on multi-year leachate and groundwater data using specific indicators can help managers better understand the impact of MSW on surrounding areas and help avoid potential operational problems in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":23714,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Industry","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100265"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212371724000271/pdfft?md5=c4dfa5aa40e6fd10f6101d9030f68f20&pid=1-s2.0-S2212371724000271-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142129358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
