Elevated concentrations of these metals induce toxic effects, while certain species, such as Cd(II), Pb(II), Cr(VI), and others, exhibit carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic impacts on the human organism and compromise the stability of the ecological environment. The adsorption capacity of various materials was analyzed, including natural aluminosilicates, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with differing layer compositions and interlayer ligands, their calcined forms, potassium zinc hexacyanoferrate, and nanocomposites based on magnetite, among others, as adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from environmental aqueous media. The results demonstrate that the efficiency of heavy metal adsorption significantly depends on their chemical speciation, which varies with pH, the macroscopic compositional characteristics of the aqueous environments, and other influencing factors. The analysis of adsorption properties of materials revealed that the efficiency of natural adsorbents is significantly lower than that of synthesized layered double hydroxides functionalized with inorganic and organic anions, potassium zinc hexacyanoferrate(II), as well as composites based on these materials with magnetite. The nature and spatial distribution of functionally analytical adsorption-active centers within their composition play a decisive role. When producing such adsorbents and determining conditions for their modification, it is crucial to select them according to the hypothesis of analogy. This hypothesis involves establishing a qualitative parallel between the conditions of reactions with organic and inorganic reagents (such as hydrolysis, precipitation, and complex formation) occurring in aqueous media and the functional groups present on the adsorbent surface. Applying this approach enables achieving high efficiency and selectivity of the adsorbents. Significant attention was also given to evaluating the effect of the pH of aqueous environments and the pH at the point of zero charge of the adsorbent surfaces, the nature and concentration of cationic and anionic forms of inorganic ecotoxicants, as well as the macroscopic composition of waters and the duration of adsorption. These factors decisively affect the degree of heavy metal removal by the studied multifunctional materials. The efficiency of adsorbents functionalized with chelating and hexacyanoferrate(II) anions, as well as calcined forms of Me(II),Me(III)-LDHs, toward cationic and anionic forms of heavy metals, predominantly depends on the differing stabilities of their complex compounds with the interlayer ligands of the multifunctional materials and the formation of precipitates such as hydroxides and hydroxycarbonates.

One approach to addressing this issue involves the implementation of integrated treatment technologies. This study aimed to identify the most effective wastewater pretreatment solutions for discharge into municipal sewer systems or natural water bodies. We analyzed current methods and technologies for treating high-strength effluents generated by dairy plants, proposed, and experimentally validated the performance of a custom-designed aeration-settling tank with increased hydraulic height and jet aeration for use at dairy wastewater treatment facilities. For high-strength effluents with chemical oxygen demand (COD) values ranging from 2000 to 5000 mg/dm³, where discharge into municipal sewer systems is intended, the proposed technology and proprietary infrastructure proved suitable. These include flotation-settling tanks and aeration-settling tanks with increased hydraulic height (6–10 m) equipped with surface jet aeration. When discharging into natural water bodies, a two-stage biological treatment process is necessary, utilizing the same aeration tank configuration followed by post-treatment through polystyrene-based filtration systems. Field testing of the proposed system demonstrated its capacity to increase the concentration of activated sludge in the aeration zone to 5–6 g/dm³ and to efficiently separate sludge mixtures. This results in high oxidative capacity of the treatment infrastructure, with COD removal rates reaching up to 2200 g/(m³ day), and enables effective nitrogen compound removal via simultaneous biological nitrification−denitrification. This is achieved by forming an aerobic zone in the upper part and an anoxic (anaerobic) zone in the lower part of the unit. The authors also investigated the flocculating and disinfecting properties of polyhexamethylene guanidine salts, confirming their applicability at various stages of wastewater treatment. These compounds neutralize potentially harmful microorganisms, promote the sedimentation of suspended solids, and eliminate residual odors and coloration.
