The article examines an electrochemical technology for the treatment of industrial wastewater aimed at removing heavy metal ions and enabling the repeated reuse of treated water in autonomous recirculation systems. The study reviews major sources of heavy metal contamination and evaluates existing treatment methods, demonstrating that conventional approaches do not fully address the challenges of water regeneration and reuse.
An integrative water treatment module is proposed, combining multifunctional electrochemical reactors, aeration and sedimentation units, ion-exchange columns, automatic filtration systems, and intelligent non-contact water quality monitoring based on electromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The technology offers reduced dependence on chemical reagents, minimal toxic waste generation, high operational flexibility, advanced automation, and cost-effective water regeneration. The study concludes that the integration of electrochemical, ion-exchange, and digital control technologies provides a promising foundation for sustainable and resource-efficient next-generation water treatment systems.
