Abstract

It is feasible to filter low-concentration liquid waste of electroplating enterprises containing chromium compounds using filter columns loaded with fibrous aluminumcontaining waste from the production of glass composites. The hydrodynamic parameters during filtration of wastewater through this material have been experimentally studied. The value of the constant in the Kozeny-Carman equation is determined for different degrees of filling of the filter volume, the total and reaction surface of the fibrous wastes are specified. A dependence for calculating head losses in the filter is proposed.
