Mathematical Modeling of Wastewater Treatment by Adsorption of Petroleum Products

Abstract

Based on mathematical modeling of wastewater treatment by adsorption of petroleum products, it is shown that the sorption material “SM-5” based on carbonate sludge can be used as an accessible and effective adsorption filter loading material at wastewater treatment plants of JSC “Nizhnekamskneftekhim”. The results of mathematical modeling prove the expediency of replacing activated carbon (“Sorber” brand) with the developed sorbent “SM-5” without making structural changes to the devices of the pilot plant to minimize the anthropogenic impact of wastewater of JSC “Nizhnekamskneftekhim” on the river Kama.
