On a production scale, it is advisable to use mathematical models for predicting the treatment of effluents from heavy metal ions, which will increase the efficiency of enterprises. The sorption processes of copper, zinc, nickel and cadmium ions on the KU-2-8 cation exchange resin in the acid form at different concentrations were studied in this scientific work. At the same time, the sorption curves calculated were constructed using the Thomas model. The study results showed that this model very clearly describes the sorption processes of metals on the resin. Thus, it can be used to predict the processes of wastewater treatment in production.
The main aim of the scientific research was to study the ion-exchange processes in the treatment of industrial wastewaters containing a high concentration of heavy metal ions (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+). The sorption results of heavy metal mixtures (Cu-Zn, Cu-Ni) from model solutions of sulfate salts on a strong-acid KU-2–8 cation exchanger in the H+-form were presented. The metals concentration was 10–50 meq/dm3. The efficiency conditions of cation regeneration in Cu2+-Zn2+, Cu2+-Ni2+-forms by 5, 8 and 10 % sulfuric acid solutions were studied. It was shown that the heavy metals from aqueous media can be removed not only from ion exchangers, but can also be restored from regenerative solutions by electrolysis to obtain metals in pure form. In general, the research results showed that the use of ion exchange is very effective in removing the heavy metal ions. The sorption efficiency and regeneration efficiency was about 100%.
