| Summary: | The aim of this work is an investigation of the possible application of
Serbian natural zeolitic tuff ("Igroš Vidojević" deposit, Brus) for
improvement of the spring water quality. Concentration of magnesium in spring
waters in Raska area (in southeast Serbia) is grater then 100 mg/dm3 and is
unsuitable for everyday consumption. The experiments includied investigation
of fluid-mechanics tests of the zeolite particles with diameters of 1.5 mm, 4
mm and 6 mm in a column with diameter of 65 mm and magnesium
adsorption/desorption experiments in the column with a diameter of 110 mm.
The results showed that using sodium enriched zeolite bed and using optimal
fluid-mechanics parameters, the concentration of magnesium in the spring
water can be decreased below the maximum allowed concentration of 50 mg/dm3. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. OI-172022, OI-172-018, IP-451-03-00605/2012-16/143] |
