Annotation
This study presents a method for water purification from radioactive isotopes and heavy metal ions using biomass derived from granulated dried algae without the use of chemical reagents. It has been established that dried algal biomass exhibits pronounced ion-exchange properties, enabling the effective adsorption of heavy metal ions and radioactive isotopes. The purification process is carried out by passing water through a volume of biomass, where ion exchange occurs during the contact time, resulting in the removal of contaminating components. Experimental results and industrial application of treatment systems at nuclear facilities have demonstrated that the purification level can reach residual concentrations as low as 0.000001 mg/L, exceeding current environmental standards.
