Comparison of leachate water treatment methods for solid household waste (MSW) landfills is carried out. The experiments were carried out on model solutions and real filtrate from the MSW landfill of the Moscow region. It has been established that electroflotation treatment is an effective method due to high recovery rates, low energy consumption, as well as the possibility of automation and the absence of secondary water pollution. The effect of surfactants (surface-active substances, SAS), flocculants, Ca, Mg, Ba reagents on electroflotation extraction of UltraPAC coagulant in aqueous solutions of NaCl, Na2SO4 is described. It was found that the addition of an anionic surfactant to the system promotes the
adsorption of the surfactant on its surface, which makes it more hydrophobic, increasing the degree of electroflotation extraction to 95–99% in some cases.
The results of measurements of the particle size, surface charge of the dispersed phase of the UltraPAC co-he results of measurements of the particle size, surface charge of the dispersed phase of the UltraPAC coagulant are presented. It was found that the ζ-potential of Al(OH)2Cl in NaCl solutions in a wide range of pH 5–9 is positive, (+5–+33 mV). In Na2SO4 solutions at pH 7 surface recharge is observed, which is explained by the specific adsorption of SO4 2- anions on the surface of the dispersed phase of Al(OH)2Cl. The particle size varies from 38 μm (pH 5) to 12 μm (pH 9) – in Na2SO4 solutions and from 16 μm (pH 5) to 19 μm (pH 9) – in NaCl solutions. It was found that the addition of Ca2+, Mg2+ reagents to the solution for pH adjustment leads to suppression of the electroflotation process. The introduction of an anionic surfactant stabilizes the electroflotation process and increases the degree of extraction of the coagulant to 75% (MgCl2 – 0.1 g/L) and 99% (CaCl2 – 0.1 g/L).
