The authors provide recommendations for its future disposal. Methods: Experiments were carried out with the use of real sludge selected from sludge tanks at water supply stations. The experiments were based on a comprehensive study of its qualitative characteristics (physical, chemical, mineral). The monitoring of indicators was carried out in accordance with standard methods and recommendations of study guides. The results were processed using methods of mathematical statistics. Results: As a result, it was found that cationic polyacrylamides are the most acceptable agents for sludge thickening. They increase the sludge thickening effect by up to 15%, reduce turbidity and color of supernatant water by 25 and 45%, respectively. The optimum time for thickening is 24 hours. Among directions of the “beneficial” disposal of dewatered sludge, it is recommended to utilize it in the production of soils and building ceramics. Conclusion: The results of the study can be translated into the development and optimization of sludge processing schemes at water supply stations performing treatment of low-turbidity and low-color natural water. Besides, the methods of sludge disposal under consideration will make it possible to reduce the need to increase the area for sludge cake storage or stop using such territories completely.","PeriodicalId":38092,"journal":{"name":"Water and Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68782756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article addresses issues related to the thermal interaction of sewage pipelines (with complete and incomplete filling) with soils characterized by deep seasonal freezing up to three or more meters in areas with severe climate. Sewage pipelines represent one of the main elements of the water disposal system, determining its reliability and efficiency. To reduce the costs for the construction of sewage pipelines, it is proposed to reduce the depth of pipe laying, i.e. to lay pipelines in a layer of frozen soil. The conducted experimental studies of the interaction between a pipeline and frozen soil revealed conditions under which it is possible to lay pipes in a layer of frozen soil. Methods. The purpose of this study was to determine experimentally the size of the talik around a pipeline laid in frozen soil, with heated water passing through, with the pipeline filling of 0.5 where the water flow covered the full cross-section. To determine the size of the talik, a series of laboratory experiments were carried out. The paper provides a description of the corresponding experimental setup. Results. The authors present results of the laboratory experiments aimed to determine the size of the talik around a pipeline operating with different degrees of filling. They established that in a pipeline where the water flow covers full cross-section, the contours of thawed soil are close to a circumference; in a pipeline with the filling h/d = 0,5, the talik is egg-shaped. According to the results of a comparative analysis of the talik sizes obtained experimentally and by calculations, the actual talik sizes exceed the calculated values by 10–16%.","PeriodicalId":38092,"journal":{"name":"Water and Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68782799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Water resources of the Leningrad Region are intensively used to ensure water supply and meet the demands of agricultural and energy industries as well as demands related to navigation, fish farming and recreation activities. The problem of using and protecting small rivers, small lakes, ponds and other natural and artificial links of the hydrological network caused the emergence of “hot ecological spots”. Materials and methods. The paper addresses issues related to anthropogenic impact and accumulation of environmental damage using small rivers of the Leningrad Region as an example. The study is based on current and retrospective data of the authors and third-party researchers, which made it possible to define the development prospects of the water sector in the Leningrad Region. Results and discussion. According to the results of the study, the main type of anthropogenic impact related to economic activity is associated with processing enterprises and urbanization. Besides, for many years, the deterioration of the state of small rivers and watercourses has been determined by their multifaceted use, and with the growing economic stagnation since the 1990s, these problems only have worsened. Conclusion. As a way out, it is possible to improve the management of natural objects. The authors conclude that the management of environmental objects in river catchment areas implies the improvement of economic activity and the direct management of natural objects.","PeriodicalId":38092,"journal":{"name":"Water and Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68782871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper describes equipment and a methodology for conducting experimental studies in a laboratory and suggests a layout of the experimental setup for ultrasonic liquid treatment, consisting of a generator, converter, and reactor. Results. It is shown that chemical transformations under the action of ultrasonic vibrations occur in an aqueous environment in the cavitation mode. The authors describe the appearance of active radicals in water as well as ionized hydrated electrons with neutral water molecules attached.

It is noted that a cavitation cavity can serve as a source of intermediate products with high reactivity. The authors consider the principle of high temperatures occurrence during the adiabatic compression of a cavitation bubble. They also review a scheme of cavitation bubble formation in an aqueous environment with dissolved gases. An equation suggested by Ya. I. Frenkel, determining the field intensity in a bubble cavity at the moment of its formation, is shown.

The modern wastewater treatment process flow involves the use of granular-bed filters with an inert medium, which make it possible to increase the degree of treatment regarding biologically treated wastewater by removing suspended solids and partially reduce the concentration of organic substances. Filters for advanced treatment are quite expensive. This may be a reason for the fact they are not included in the recommended best available technologies. Methods. Technologies and designs of some filters open the possibility to use these filters to solve integrated tasks: not only to improve the degree of treatment by removing organic substances and suspended solids but also to remove such nutrients as nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, which is very important at present. With this approach, the importance of filters in the process flow increases significantly. Results. The most significant result was obtained using “dry” filters. Studies of dry filtration show that, with the use of granular-bed filters with synthetic expanded medium, it is possible to ensure the enhanced removal of nitrogen compounds. With the appropriate design of filters and technological parameters of the filtering mode, unique tasks can be performed, including the removal of phosphates and ammonium ion to achieve maximum allowable concentrations in fishery water bodies. Conclusion. The involvement of filters, providing the enhanced removal of a wide range of pollutants, in the modern process flow will effectively solve the current problems of wastewater treatment. Each element of the process flow will be able to operate in an optimal mode. The technological importance and economic attractiveness of filters will increase. Besides, filters will perform the role of a barrier: they will stabilize the operation of a wastewater treatment system in general.","PeriodicalId":38092,"journal":{"name":"Water and Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68782630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The content of heavy metals in the ash was analyzed using X-ray fluorescence and atomic absorption spectroscopy methods. The waste hazard class was determined and confirmed based on the water extract bioassay method. Doses of allowable waste application to the soil were calculated with account for the content of heavy metals in the ash. Results. According to the results of laboratory tests, ash (as a component of soil mixture) has a positive effect on the germination dynamics and plant growth (with Trifolium praténse as an example). These data suggest the possibility of using waste in technical reclamation. The estimated result of the development is an organic-mineral soil mixture based on the ash of sewage sludge incineration, which also can be used for strengthening and improvement of road slopes.
