Use of microwave radiation for effective purification of wastewater from organic compounds

Abstract

This article is devoted to the problem of using microwave radiation as a potentially effective method of cleaning wastewater from organic compounds. The problem of cleaning wastewater from organic contaminants in the food industry requires highly effective methods since protein compounds in wastewater can cause environmental hazards and complicate the cleaning process. The purpose of the work was to investigate the effectiveness of using microwave radiation to purify wastewater from organic compounds, particularly protein impurities, and to establish the possibilities of this method for improving the process of water purification in the food industry. The article mainly examines the use of microwave radiation for this purpose and analyses its effect on proteins usually present in wastewater from the food industry. Experimental studies have shown the possibility of adequate wastewater treatment using microwave radiation. The advantages of using microwave heating, as well as its speed and regulation accuracy, are analysed, making this method attractive for use in wastewater treatment and other industrial production processes. The study includes an analysis of microwave radiation's effect on proteins commonly present in wastewater from the food industry. The research methodology involves modelling the composition of wastewater and using a microwave oven to process protein solutions. The results of the experiments demonstrate the possibility of adequate wastewater treatment using microwave radiation, which opens up prospects for further use of this method in industry and environmental protection. The results indicate the success of using microwave radiation to purify wastewater from organic compounds, notably protein pollution.
