The alternative method of conditioning industrial wastewater containing heavy metals based on the hydrothermodynamic cavitation technology

This article provides the results of studies of modifying the physicochemical properties of industrial wastewater when treated in a cavitation reactor. The authors performed an analysis of physicochemical changes in the makeup of industrial effluent and defined the efficiency of reducing the content of heavy metal ions under various modes of hydrothermodynamic action. The article also proposes the methods of mathematical modelling for determining the optimal parameters of cavitation treatment of wastewater and reveals the advantages of upgrading the wastewater process equipment with the inclusion of a unit of SC-reactors.
