W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań fizykochemicznych 20 próbek ścieków kosmetycznych. Określono wartości głównych parametrów zanieczyszczeń normowanych w ściekach. Na podstawie otrzymanych wyników badań stwierdzono, iż charakteryzują się dużą zmiennością, zależną od profilu produkcji. Różnice w oznaczonych wartościach poszczególnych parametrów w próbkach ścieków pobranych w różnym czasie w jednym zakładzie produkcyjnym wynoszą niemal trzy rzędy wielkości. Z tego względu niezmiernie ważne jest wielokrotne badanie właściwości ścieków kosmetycznych przed podjęciem decyzji dotyczącej technologii ich oczyszczania.

EN

The results of physicochemical analysis of 20 cosmetic wastewater samples were shown. The values of wastewater parameters were determined. Results show, that cosmetic wastewater are characterized by a strong variability, clearly dependent on the production profile. Differences between the values of key parameters ranged nearly three orders of magnitude. Because of the significant difference in the input parameters, wastewater treatment technology must have a very high flexibility.

The authors analyzed the physicochemical parameters and heavy metals characterizing the wells at three different sites (nearby villages) in the area of KEC (Kosovo Energetic Corporation). The KEC power plants are the only ones in Kosovo that use fossil-fueled energy (lignite) for the production of the electricity. This process may pollute the environment through the release of airborne aerosols (contaminated with metals), ash (a part of its content that leaches in the underground waters), etc. This pollutes air, surface water, groundwater and soil. In addition, the coal exploitation activity as raw material for power plants, excavating from mining basins, conveyor belt transport, separation before combustion and other processes involving the formation of dust sources and coal particles in the air also contribute to the pollution. Thus, it is of utmost importance to evaluate the water quality of the wells that are used as drinkable water sources by the people that live in this industrial area.

The objective of the study was to optimize the operation of the municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of the Sicaya district with Hydrocotyle ranunculoides. The relative growth rate of the macrophyte was determined, in addition to the relationship between the population growth area and the final weight according to the number of days elapsed. Medium fences were implemented and the tributary and effluent of the WWTP were characterized physicochemically and microbiologically. The results of the characterization corresponding to the tributary were as follows: 616 mg of TSS/L, 109.2 mg of BOD5/L, 305.4 mg of COD/L, 30.3 mg of oils and fats/L and 3 500 000 NMP of thermotolerant coliforms/100 ml. Owing to the implementation of two medium grids, large suspended solids were retained. The highest efficiency of COD removal with respect to the growth area of H. ranunculoides (2 226.96 m2) was 81.53%. While the efficiency of removal of thermotolerant coliforms was 79.2% at a water temperature of 12.32°C . Using the operational optimization model in the WWTP with H. ranunculoides, an area of 3 291.67 m2 of macrophyte population growth was achieved with a removal efficiency of 93.71% COD and an area of 3 591.67m2 to remove 79.95% of the thermotolerant coliforms at a temperature of 13°C.

This study aimed at evaluating water quality of groundwater wells (GWWs) in Wadi Shati, Libya, and assessing its suitability for drinking. Water samples were collected from 17 GWWs and subjected to laboratory testing for 24 physical and chemical water quality parameters (WQPs). Analysis uncovered that the recorded values of 11 WQPs were consistent with the Libyan drinking water quality standard (DWQS). These parameters were pH, temperature (T), acidity, alkalinity, electrical conductivity (EC), sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and cadmium. However, values of colour and turbidity exceeded the maximum levels set by the Libyan DWQS at five out of the 17 study wells. Likewise, concentrations of chloride (Cl-), sulphate (SO4 2-), and ammonia (NH3) violated the local DWQS in three locations, each. Additionally, concentrations of phosphate (PO43-), iron, manganese, chromium, and nickel exceeded their maximum allowable concentrations according to the Libyan DWQS. The levels of these five parameters are alarming. Overall, the 17 studied GWWs suffer from varying levels of pollution that, mostly, arise from domestic and agricultural sources, e.g., septic tank seepage and agricultural drainage of agro-chemicals like fertilisers and pesticides. The results of this study emphasise that routine monitoring of groundwater resources plays a vital role in their sustainable management and stresses that water quality data are critical for characterisation of pollution, if any, and for protection of human health and ecosystem safety. Our results serve as guideline for sustainable management of water quality in the Wadi Shati District.

The research aims to study the purification performance of a local and natural material as an input or as a biological filter for treating urban domestic wastewater. For this purpose, pozzolan was used as the biofiltration support that was provided from Beni Saf located in the North-West of Algeria. Tests were carried out with a specially modified pilot unit (TE900) for wastewater treatment over a period of four months. To assess the efficiency of the treatment, two main parameters have been focused on - the height of the sprinkler filter (40 cm and 80 cm) and the flow rate (10, 16, and 25 dm3∙h-1). Physicochemical and bacteriological analyses were carried out on raw wastewater and treated water. The obtained results show that the Beni Saf pozzolan-filled trickling filter eliminates a large fraction of the studied pollutants. The purification yields obtained are fairly encouraging; 98% for turbidity, 88% for suspended solids (SS), 94% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), and 98% for biological oxygen demand (BOD5 ). As for bacterial indicators, the formation of biofilms has significantly reduced bacterial activity with a percentage of over 80%. It can be concluded that the reduction of pollutant parameters clearly indicates the effectiveness of the treatment by this ecological process. Therefore, the use of local and natural materials for wastewater treatment can be a promising alternative based on sustainable environmental technologies and development.

This paper evaluates water quality and ecological status of lakes located in the Wielkopolska National Park and its buffer zone. Changes in water quality were analyzed from 1974 to 2012 in order to assess the effectiveness of the protection strategies implemented on the studied lakes since 1957, i.e. the date when the park was established. The ecological status of the lakes was assessed with the use of macrophytes as well as hydromorphological and physicochemical analyses performed in 2012. Changes in water quality of the studied lakes within the last 40 years were analyzed based on available published and unpublished data, as well as field studies. All water bodies are characterized by advanced eutrophication. However, evaluation of the ecological status showed good status of the charophyte-dominated lakes, i.e. Lake Wielkowiejskie and Lake Budzyńskie. Lack of significant differences in physicochemical water qualities between the park and its buffer zone indicated that measures implemented to protect the water, particularly in the park, are ineffective. This study shows that more radical conservation measures are necessary to protect and improve the water quality, not only in WPN and its buffer zone but also in the whole catchment area.

The work focuses on assessment of soil physicochemical parameters influence on 137Cs accumulation in Of soil horizon. Besides organic matter content and pH, the parameters related to sorption properties and mobile ions concentration were considered. The data were transformed using Box-Cox formula. To find mutual relationships between variables cluster analysis (CA) and principal components analysis (PCA) were used. It was found that the transformed physicochemical parameters in Of horizon are more or less related with each other but no linear or nearly linear relationships between 137Cs activity and physicochemical parameters were found.

The Arabian Gulf is a very significant ocean body, which hosts more than 55% of the oil reserves of the world and produces about 30% of the total production, and thus, it is likely to face high risk and adverse problems by the intensified environmental stressors and severe climatic changes. Therefore, understanding the hydrography of the Gulf is very essential to identify various marine environmental issues and subsequently, developing marine protection and management plans. In this study, hydrography data collected at 11 stations along 3 linear transects in the early summer of 2016 were analyzed. The physicochemical parameters exhibited apparent variations along each transect, both laterally and vertically, connected to stratification, formation of different water masses and excessive heating. The temperature and salinity decreased laterally from nearshore to offshore, while layered density structures were identified in the offshore regions. The pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and chlorophyll fluorescence (Fo) exhibited distinct horizontal and vertical variations. The observed pH is within the normal ranges, indicating that seawater acidification may not be a threat. The highest DO (6.13–8.37 mg/l) was observed in a layer of 24—36 m water depth in the deeper regions of the central transect.

Ważnym źródłem antropogenicznych zanieczyszczeń środowiska solami jest przemysł sodowy. Składowiska odpadów poprodukcyjnych, lokalizowane obok zakładów, negatywnie wpływają na otaczające środowisko, gdyż wody opadowe wymywają z nich szkodliwe substancje. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ocena przestrzennego zróżnicowania wybranych parametrów fizykochemicznych osadów na terenie składowisk dawnych Krakowskich Zakładów Sodowych „Solvay”. Na podstawie analizy granulometrycznej stwierdzono występowanie naprzemianległych warstw o uziarnieniu ilastym i różnym stopniu konsolidacji odpadów. Badania laboratoryjne wskazują, iż analizowany osad charakteryzuje się odczynem silnie alkalicznym (średnie pH > 10), wysoką przewodnością elektryczną właściwą (średnio > 10 mS cm-1) i średnią wilgotnością aktualną na poziomie 60%. Stwierdzono obecność jonów o charakterze zasadowym, łatwo rozpuszczalnych w wodzie opadowej, które mają zdolność do akumulacji w głębszych warstwach składowisk. Występowanie tych jonów w próbkach gruntu stwarza warunki stresowe dla wzrostu i rozwoju roślin głęboko korzeniących się, toteż w projektach zieleni bardzo ważnym aspektem jest uwzględnienie gatunków roślin o płytkim systemie korzeniowym i wysokiej odporności na silne zasolenie podłoża. Charakterystyczne parametry fizykochemiczne podłoża i niejednorodność składowanego materiału stanowią podstawę do przeprowadzenia technicznej i biologicznej rekultywacji badanego obszaru i mają duże znaczenie w projektowaniu jego funkcji przestrzennych.

An important source of anthropogenic environment pollution with salts is the sodium industry. Post-production waste dumping grounds, located near the plants, have a negative impact on the surrounding environment because rain water scours harmful substances from them. The aim of this article is to assess the spatial variability of selected physicochemical parameters of soil on the premises of former Sodium Processing Plant “Solvay” in Kraków. The laboratory research showed that the analyzed material has a strong alkaline reaction (average pH > 10), high electric conductivity (average > 10 mS·cm-1) and medium humidity of 60%. There are also ions of alkaline reaction, easily soluble in rain water, which have the ability to accumulate in the deeper layers of the dumping grounds. The existence of those ions in the ground samples creates very stressful conditions for the growth and development of long-rooted plants, therefore it is important in greenery design to include such species of plants that have a shallow root system and are resistant to high salinity of the soil. The characteristic physicochemical parameters of the ground as well as the heterogeneity of the stored material constitute a basis for technological and biological reclamation of the studied area and have large significance in designing its spatial functions.

A good water quality is essential to sustaining the life of the organisms. The determination of water quality is needed as a direction to monitoring the water pollution. The purpose of this study is to examine the quality of the water and to determine the water pollution index based on the physicochemical parameters in Mimika waters, Indonesia. The sampling of water quality was carried out in October 2016 at six stations (Moga, Puriri, Inaoga, Keakwa, Atuka and Pomako waters). Then, the results were compared with the standard of sea water quality for biota marine based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 51 year 2004. This study showed that the physicochemical parameters of the waters, such as water turbidity, BOD, NH3 and heavy metals (Hg, As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni and Cr), are still appropriate to the biota marine in all study stations. However, there is a parameter for which the quality standards were exceed in all locations, including water salinity for coral and seagrass, NO3, PO4 and H2S. The result of pollution index calculation at coastal waters Mimika are classified as lightly polluted (Keakwa and Pomako waters), and moderately polluted (Moga, Puriri, Inaoga and Atuka waters) with the pollution index values o f 3.51 to 6.95. It is important to notice that the parameters of quality standards which had been exceed such as NO3, PO4 and H2S are the environmental parameter for nutrient elements and can trigger eutrophication in the waters.

Rivers are considered the most important sources of surface water on Earth. They are play a significant role in all human activities and the quality of river water is needed. Therefore, the importance of the water quality index is arising through providing data base about quality of the water source, and explain the change in the water quality over a period of time continually. This study involved determination of physicochemical and biological parameters of Lower Zab river in Kirkuk city at two different points. The objectives of the study are to assess the present water quality, through analysis of some selected water quality parameters like pH, TDS, BOD, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, EC, alkalinity, and salinity etc. and to compare the results with the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment and National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Indices. Raw water samples were collected from the Lower Zab river twice a month by one sample every 15 days from each station. The water quality data include 16 different parameters. Tests were carried out following the American Public Health Association standard methods. The results show that all parameters values were within the standards of drinking water proposed by the CCME standards and Iraqi standards or the World Health Organization standards for drinking purpose, except turbidity, DO, nitrate, calcium, which were mostly higher than the standards and sometimes BOD and potassium. The results of WQI showed that the water quality at LZ3 station is lower than LZ2 station due to the polluting activity of the Lower Zab river. Furthermore, for the years 2014, 2015, and 2016, the water quality was degraded due to the ISIS war. Also, it was noted in the 2013 year that the water quality degraded more in fall and winter seasons due to that the earth has exposed to the long-dried season and then suddenly exposed to a high rainfall season which in turns leads to increase some parameters very high (i.e. turbidity). Finally, the Lower Zab river water cannot be use for drinking directly. However, a pretreatment is needed before the drinking use.

W idealnym deterministycznym modelu procesu klasyfikacji przepływowej wprowadza się cały szereg uproszczeń, co powoduje, że bardzo często niemożliwe jest określenie a priori najważniejszych charakterystyk procesu [1]. W klasycznej teorii procesu rozpatruje się zachowanie pojedynczej, odosobnionej cząstki kulistej bez uwzględniania oddziaływań cząstek między sobą i ścianami klasyfikatora, co nie daje praktycznie podstaw przenoszenia prawidłowości ustalonych dla pojedynczych cząstek na ich zbiór [4]. W artykule przedstawiono dla trzech materiałów modelowych jaki wpływ na wartości potencjału elektrokinetycznego wywierają zmiany stężenia jonów wodorowych środowiska w którym zachodzi proces elutriacji. Zmienne wartości pH zawiesiny wpływają w znaczący sposób na zdolność agregacji koagulacji ziarn najdrobniejszych, a co za tym idzie na wyniki klasyfikacji [2, 6, 9, 10].

In an ideal deterministic flowing determination process model, many assumptions are introduced, what often results in impossibility of determination a priori characteristics of the process. In classical process theory, the behavior of a single, separated circular particle is considered, without taking into account the interactions between particles themselves, as well particles and classifier walls. That makes the interpretation of the results determined for single particles as the results for their set inadequate. The paper presents what is the influence of hydrogen ions concentration changes in environment where the elutriation process occurs on the values of electro-kinetic potential on the basis of the materials. The changeable values of the suspension pH, influence significantly on the ability of finest particles coagulation aggregation, so on classification results.

Po przeprowadzeniu oceny podstawowych wskaźników oceny procesu wywodzących się głównie z krzywej Trompa wybrano do dalszych badań te, które wydają się najbardziej odpowiednie do oceny przebiegu procesu. Do badań wybrano trzy materiały modelowe o składzie ziarnowym do 60 mikrometrów tj.: szkło kwarcowe, piasek kwarcowy, baryt, a także trzy zmienne parametry prowadzenia procesu klasyfikacji przepływowej: temperatura, koncentracja objętościowa zawiesiny, stężenie jonów wodorowych środowiska prowadzenia procesu. Opis stanu rozpoznania elementarnych zjawisk składających się na proces klasyfikacji jednoznacznie określa również stan budowy modeli tego procesu. Ich ogólną cechą jest podejście deterministyczne połączone z wprowadzeniem bardzo znacznych uproszczeń. Spowodowane to jest w głównej mierze brakiem możliwości pomiaru w trakcie prowadzenia procesu szeregu zjawisk elementarnych. Wprowadzone do wzorów stałe współczynniki i poprawki mają z reguły wartości wyznaczane doświadczalnie, które nie pozwalają jednak na jednoznaczną interpretację wszystkich zjawisk zachodzących w trakcie procesu klasyfikacji, Nie wyczerpuje to złożoności problemu, gdyż w opisie procesu należy uwzględnić oddziaływania o charakterze losowym. Losowość procesu powoduje bowiem znaczne trudności w określaniu związków pomiędzy poszczególnymi zjawiskami elementarnymi, a także w precyzyjnej identyfikacji pełnego zespołu czynników wpływających na przebieg i wyniki procesu.

The paper presents the issues relied to the description and the basic technological factors of flowing classification process, which main medium were suspensions of chosen model materials ultra fine particles. After conduction of basic process factors evaluation, which originated mainly from the Tromp curve, the ones seemed to be the most appropriate to evaluate the process were chosen for the further research. Three model materials were selected: quartz glass; quartzite; barite. Furthermore, three changeable parameters of flowing classification process conduction were chosen, which were: temperature; volumetric concentration of the suspension; concentration of hydrogen ions of process conduction environment. The results of chosen process parameters significant influence on elementary phenomena occurring during particles (of sized up to 60 mim) separation process were presented, as well the results of viscosity and suspension stability. The described state of elementary phenomena recognition being the part of classification process determines unequivocally the state of models construction of this process. Their general feature is deterministic approach joined with introduction of significant simplifications. This is caused mainly by lack of many elementary phenomena measuring possibilities during the process conduction. The constant coefficients introduced to the equation, which, however, do not allow the unequivocal interpretation of all of the phenomena occurring during the classification process. This do not solve the complexity of the problem because the random interactions should be considered in process description. The randomness of the process causes many difficulties in determination of correlations between individual elementary phenomena and also in precise identification of full group of factors influencing on course and results of the process. Only in recent years, the random interactions are introduced in various range to existed deterministic process models.

This study aims to assess the water quality and determine the pollution index of the Bedadung River in the urban-area segment of Jember Regency, East Java. The sampling in the urban segment of Jember was conducted in May 2019 at five different locations, namely Slamet Riyadi Street, Mastrip Street, Bengawan Solo Street, Sumatra Street, and Imam Bonjol Street. The pollution index assessment refers to the Decree of the State Minister for the Environment of Indonesia Republic number 115 of 2003. The analysis showed that the parameters of TDS, TSS, pH, COD, BOD, NH3-N, Co, Cd, Cu, Zn, H2S, Cl–, SO4, oil and fats, MBAS, NO2-N, Fe, Pb, F, Cl2, NO3-N, phenol, and As did not exceed the quality standards. The parameters PO4, CN, total coliform, and faecal coliform were found to breach the quality standards at the 5 water sampling points. Total coliform and faecal coliform were the dominant pollutants in this segment. Therefore, the parameters of PO4, total coliform, and faecal coliform were considered as indicators of pollution arising from domestic and agricultural activities. The pollution index values for the five sampling locations ranged from 7.21 to 8.23. These scores indicate that the Bedadung River section that passes through the urban segment in Jember is classified as being in the moderately polluted category. This preliminary rapid assessment is therefore one of the considerations for the management of water quality in the Bedadung River section that passes through the urban area of Jember.

At present, the energy biomass utilization is the only way and a chance for Poland to meet the obligations referring to production of energy from renewable sources and imposed by the EU on its member countries. Apart from accessibility and prices, also some legal conditionings, imposing on energy producers the obligation of combusting only the defined kinds of biomass, have an influence on the selection of kinds of biomass to be combusted. Presented are testing results of several biomass kinds coming from various sources and variability ranges of physicochemical properties of the hitherto tested biomass kinds utilized for energy purposes as well as the influence of these prameters on the process of combustion or co-combustion.

Wody rzeki Głównej w latach 1996–2009 charakteryzowały się stanem poniżej dobrego. Decydowały o tym podwyższone wartościami BZT5 i fosforu ogólnego oraz wysokie wartości azotu Kjeldahla i fosforanów. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że w latach 1996–2009 obserwowano wzrost odczynu wody oraz spadek stężeń azotu amonowego i zawartości substancji rozpuszczonych. Uporządkowanie gospodarki wodno-ściekowej w gminach położonych na terenie zlewni nie wpłynęło istotnie na poprawę stanu fizykochemicznego wód rzeki Głównej.

The paper presents the analysis of results of trend changes in physicochemical state of the Główna river in Poznan in the years 1996–2009. Physicochemical state was characterized by 11 parameters: dissolved oxygen (O2), BOD5, conductivity (μS), dissolved substances (mg), pH, ammonia nitrogen (NNH4), Kjeldahl nitrogen (NI), nitrate nitrogen (NNO3), total nitrogen (NII), phosphates (PO4) and total phosphorus (P). The results were analyzed with respect to changes in land use, water and wastewater management and hydrometeorological conditions. Due to high concentrations of Kjeldahl nitrogen and phosphates, elevated concentrations of BOD5 and total phosphorus, physicochemical state of the Główna river was less than good. The results of the analysis proved that pH was increased, concentration of ammonia nitrogen and contents of dissolved substances was decreased. Organization of water and wastewater management in communes located in the analyzed catchment has not significantly influenced the physicochemical state of waters of the Główna river.

Water is one of nature’s resources. As urbanisation grows, new roadways and highways are constructed for the transport sector and development. Due to roadway infrastructure, the development of the quality of surface water bodies in close proximity to roads is deteriorating and has become a major environmental challenge. Considered as one of the major nonpoint pollution sources, the construction of new roadways can have short and long-term effects on water quality conditions. This study revealed that road construction activities may be responsible for introducing pollutants in nearby water sources, leading to the deterioration of water quality. The roadway expansion activities affect both the surface and groundwater quality. Furthermore, this study was conducted to assess the effects of a road construction project situated in the southern part of Albania, on physic-chemical parameters of surface water by collecting water samples from Skotini stream. The analysed parameters included pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), electrical conductivity (ECw), total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity, nitrites (NO2-), ammonium (NH4+) and total phosphorus (Ptot). The results revealed that all physic-chemical parameters analysed in the laboratory are between the normal standards classifying these waters as very clean. Further surveillance for quality assessment of water sources near roadway’s construction activities is needed. Various best management practices have been developed and implemented to prevent negative environmental impacts in the transport sector and roadway construction activities. Results of the water quality help strengthen the theory that roadway construction projects in the transport sector, using appropriate best management practices, could yield minimal impact on the overall water quality of surrounding water bodies.
