    Static regulations of urea (carbamide) adsorption by wet and dried peat

    The possibility and effectiveness of using a natural sorbent – peat from the Vereshchytsia-Yanivske deposit for treating agricultural wastewater with a high urea content – has been studied. The humidity and moisture content of the upland and lowland types of peat from this peatland were determined. Comparing these indicators made it possible to establish that the lowland peat has a significantly higher humidity and moisture content. The adsorption capacities of wet and dried types of peat for urea were studied and compared. The changes in urea concentration in aqueous solutions of the studied peat samples are presented by the corresponding curves. It was established that the lowland peat (dried samples) has higher sorption properties to urea when absorbed from the water environment than the upland type. In the adsorption of non-dried peat, curves were obtained, which show a gradual decrease in the concentration of urea in the solution, indicating the gradual filling of the active centres of peat with urea molecules. For pre-dried peat, rapid absorption of this pollutant is observed at the initial moments (approximately up to 10 minutes). The calculated maximum absorption capacities of dried peat species for urea show that the maximum absorption capacity of dry lowland peat is significantly higher than that of dry upland peat.

    An energy saving during the filtration drying of dispersible materials. Choice of optimal parameters of the process
    (Lviv Politechnic Publishing House, 2017-09-08) Atamaniuk, Volodymyr; Kindzera, Diana; Huzova, Iryna; Liuta, Oksana; Lviv Polytechnic National University
    The results of experimental studies of the kinetics of filtration drying of disperse materials of different structural structure and dispersible composition are presented in the paper, as well as the dynamics of saturation of the waste heat agent with moisture during the filtration drying of materials at different height of layer of the last ones. On the basis of the generalization of research results, optimal parameters for the implementation of filtration drying were determined, and the economic effect from the introduction of filtration drying into production, per 1000 kg of dry material, was calculated.
