The invention relates to the purification of water from heavy metal ions, preferably arsenic, and can be used in complex treatment of drinking water.

Currently, the use of adsorption processes for removal of water pollutants of organic and inorganic origin are of great importance in practice. One of the most active adsorbents arsenic and other heavy metals is activated alumina.

Known adsorbent and method thereof with high capacity for phenols and heavy metals [EN 2168357 C2, 2001], to this end, in the patent of the proposed processing of nanofibers formed from ultra-fine aluminium powder obtained by electrical explosion of aluminum wire in argon, sodium bicarbonate within 0.5 to 1:5 h with subsequent calcination at 200 to 300°within 1.5-3 hours

However anovulatory sorbent in the form of a powder consists of agglomerates of nanofibers with a size of about 0.1 μm and a diameter of about 0,005 µm, which makes it impossible for its application in dynamic treatment systems, due to entrainment by the flow of water separate particles and high hydrodynamic resistance.

In the manufacture of adsorbents for removal of the water of heavy metals in the number of patents introduces an additional phase - active carbon [US 4,923,843, WO 03043731, S 6,030,537], hydrated oxide of trivalent iron, manganese compounds.

Known sorbent and method thereof [EN 2242276 C1, 2004]. The sorbent consists of non-spherical particles of aluminum oxide and particles of fibrous material contains a component with a negative surface charge and a modifier selected from a number of oxide or hydroxide of magnesium, silicon or mixtures thereof in the following ratio, wt.%: aluminum oxide is not less than 20; a component with a negative surface charge - 0,5-5,0; modifier - 0,1-3,0; fibrous material - the rest. As a component with a negative surface charge using the oxide or hydroxide of silicon, iron, manganese, chromium or their mixtures. The essence of the method is that non-spherical particles of aluminum oxide are mixed with particles of fibrous material before mixing the two components to the fibrous material add a component with a negative surface charge, in the process of mixing the three components of the activation mixture received electric shock or ultrasound, then enter the modifier, selected from a number of oxide or hydroxide of magnesium, silicon, or mixtures thereof, and over all mix.

The sorbent contains three components - aluminium oxide particles, fibrous material and a component with a negative surface charge that can not condition the thread technology of its manufacture. The sorbent is a mechanical mixture of the components, and therefore has a relatively small capacity remove heavy metal ions.

In the application [US 2005029198], an adsorbent for water purification systems from heavy metals, which are a mixture of fibers of nanoaluminum and compounds of iron and/or manganese.

Based on the size of the nanofibers, we can assume that under dynamic conditions the operation of the sorbent would be difficult or impossible.

In the invention [US 4,459,370 B1, 1984] "the Process of preparation of the catalyst or adsorbent based on the 3-valence iron oxide, the iron oxide is prepared from a solution of iron salts by reaction of the hydroxyl ions and iron in the presence of the media. Charged thus the carrier is dried, calcined and crushed. A solution of iron salts introduced with vigorous stirring under the surface of the carrier. the pH of the suspension support 4-7. Share charged iron carrier from the solution. In the patent iron salts are applied to the surface of the carrier, which is then made red-hot and homogenized.

When the specified method is part of the carrier surface may not be coated with iron hydroxide. Accordingly, the efficiency of such a sorbent is lower than the efficiency of the sorbent, originally consisting of separate particles. Also the media is not pre-AK is viravan, that reduces the effectiveness of the application of the hydroxyl ions of iron and consequently reduces the efficiency of sorption.

In [WO 03043731, 2003] proposed medium for removing arsenic from aqueous systems, including bauxite, alumina trihydrate and iron oxide. The mixture after certain operations and then calcined to form small granules.

The disadvantages of the proposed method include the fact that the source of the aluminium oxide particles have a size of the order of micrometers or more, have relatively low specific surface area and, consequently, low sorption capacity in relation to nanoscale particles.

As the prototype is set to [RU 2225251 C2, 2004], in which the proposed product for water treatment, representing consisting of a particulate material having a specific surface area equal to at least 10,0 m2/g, or the product obtained by linking such consisting of a particulate material, and having an insoluble coating of hydrated ferric oxide. Preferably, consisting of a particulate material is a material based on aluminum oxide. The product is effective in water treatment to remove organic compounds, cations or anions, especially As, Se, or F. In this patent application of ferric oxide is carried out on particles, have their size from 5 μm to 5000 μm, with a maximum specific surface area of at least 100 m2/year

Used carrier is a porous material obtained by heating particles of aluminum oxide, and consists of particles with a size of 5-10 μm and has a specific surface equal to 100-150-200 m2/, However, the surface of such particles is not fully available, the portion of the surface, especially in closed pores are not available for the deposition of metals. This limits the sorption capacity of the material and reduces the rate of adsorption in dynamic operating conditions of the sorption material. The method of applying iron oxide does not allow to obtain the sorption layer having a high sorption characteristics.

The objective of the proposed group of inventions is to develop a new sorbent material (sorbent) with high sorption capacity with respect to heavy metals, primarily arsenic, with low hydrodynamic resistance and high mechanical strength.

An additional advantage of the proposed sorbent is its ability to effectively remove arsenic at high pH water.

This object is achieved in that the proposed sorbent of heavy metals, preferably arsenic, contains aluminum oxide-modified nanoscale particles is of xadow iron.

What's new is that it is made in the form of granules of highly porous alumina with a pore volume of not less than 0.55 cm3/g, a specific surface area of not less than 200 m2/g, which is an Assembly of nanofibers that are interconnected in a rigid sponge-like structure, with nanosized particles of iron oxides formed in a layer on the surface of the above-mentioned granules in the amount of 2-10% by weight of the granules.

In addition, the aluminum oxide is in the form of granules, preferably of spherical shape with a particle size having a diameter of 0.2 to 4.0 mm

In addition, as a material based on aluminum oxide it contains γ-Al2About3.

In addition, as a material based on aluminum oxide it contains the monohydrate alumina.

In addition, nano-sized particles of iron oxide has a ratio of diameter d to the length 1, located within: 1≥d/1<0,01.

In addition, nano-sized particles of iron oxide are nanosized particles, for example, goethite and/or hematite and/or akaganeite.

In addition, the amount of nano-sized particles of iron oxide is not less than 2-10% by weight of the base.

The task is achieved by the fact that, as known, the claimed method of producing a sorbent of heavy metals, preferably arsenic, includes soaking the porous framework of water is a solution of compounds of iron, subsequent addition of alkali solution.

What's new is that as a porous framework using granules of highly porous alumina with a pore volume of not less than 0.55 cm3/g, a specific surface area of not less than 200 m2/g, which before impregnation with an aqueous solution of iron compounds is subjected to wetting by water.

In addition, the granules of aluminum oxide have a spherical shape, a diameter of 0.2-4.0 mm and represent the Assembly of nanofibers that are interconnected in a rigid sponge-like structure.

In addition, as a material based on aluminum oxide using γ-Al2O3.

In addition, as a material based on aluminum oxide monohydrate use of aluminum oxide.

In addition, as an aqueous solution of iron compounds using a ferric chloride solution with a concentration of 400 to 800 g/l

In addition, as the alkali solution used solution of sodium hydroxide with a concentration of 40-400 g/l

In addition, the impregnation is carried out at periodic stirring of the solution.

In addition, the sorbent is washed and dried.

The method of purification of water, preferably drinking water from heavy metal ions, preferably arsenic, comprising passing water through a layer above the sorbent, containing as the base particles of the material based on aluminum oxide is INIA, made in the form of granules, preferably of spherical shape, with a specific surface area of not less than 200 m2/g and a pore volume of not less than 0.55 cm3/g, and the particles modified with nanosized particles of iron oxide using the above method.

In addition, it involves passing water containing soluble arsenic ions when the pH value of water is not less than 8.

In addition, it provides for the transmission of water, additionally containing heavy metal ions selected from the group consisting of chromium, copper, manganese, selenium, fluorine.

The sorption efficiency of the sorbents of different origin is mainly determined by the activity of the sorbent surface and its area. The analysis of publications related to thesis leads to the conclusion that the most important direction in the development of new high-performance sorbents is the use of nanoscale materials with high surface activity and a large area available specific surface area. A characteristic feature in the development of modern sorption materials is the application of the sorption layer (coating) on the surface of the granular material of the carrier. This technology makes it possible to avoid a complex, multistage, environmentally unfriendly process of preparation of the sorbent. Moreover, the traditional process of why the case cannot take place under strictly controlled conditions the synthesis of the sorbent and get the sorbent with the desired set of mechanical and sorption properties [Iagazinov, Vperez. Sorption materials on media in the technology of water treatment.//Chemistry and technology of water. 1995, V.17. 31, p.50-60]. To increase the same ion exchange capacity of the sorption material as the second active component of the sorption layer (coating) is widely used iron oxides, which have found application to retrieve from the water of many elements, including arsenic, chromium, fluoride, etc. According to the literature data [W. Driehaus, Jekel M. and Hildebrandt U.: Granular ferric hydroxide - a new adsorbent for the removal of arsenic from natural water. J. Water Supply: Results and Technology - Aqua. 1998. 47, p.30-35] iron oxides are one of the most effective sorbents of toxic elements, including arsenic. The deposition of iron oxides in the form of nanoparticles on the surface of the carrier allows you to get the sorbent with a high rate of adsorption and sorption capacity.

In the present invention, a method for sorbent, wherein on the surface of a granular material based on aluminum oxide with a highly porous structure layer is formed, representing the nano-sized particles of iron oxide. The applicable basis is highly porous aluminum oxide in the form of pellets, derived from nano-sized aluminum oxide, for example, obtained by mechanochemical methods that enhances sorption sorption properties of active component, for example iron oxide. Pellets have and the geta a large pore volume is not less than 0.55 cm3/g and a high specific surface area of not less than 200 m2/g and represent the Assembly of nanofibers, connected with the formation of a hard sponge-like structure.

This oxide retains basically the original structure of nanosized particles and is the matrix for the synthesized nano-sized particles of iron oxide.

One of the distinguishing features of the process of obtaining a pre-wetting granules. This is because when wetted granules consisting of aluminum oxide, stands out quite a lot of heat. When the local temperature rise inside the granules of the iron chloride is spontaneously hydrolyzed with the formation of hydroxides. The process of hydrolysis is in uncontrolled conditions, to avoid this, slow down the process of spontaneous hydrolysis and must be pre-wetting granules. Iron ions are able to penetrate inside the pores of the granules, not to close the resulting iron hydroxide in the pores, to form particles of oxides of the desired shape having a large adsorption capacity.

To control the properties of the medium, in which there is the formation of iron oxide added to the alkali solution. Adding alkali to the mixture begins recrystallization of iron hydroxide with the formation of certain phases of iron oxides - goethite, heme is Titus, akaganeite in the form of nanoscale particles as spherical and non-spherical shapes, such as needles [Ryzhak I.A., Krivoruchko OP, Buyanov R.A., and others, the Study of Genesis hydroxide and ferric oxide. // Kinetics and catalysis, 1969, vol.10, No. 2, s-385].

Recrystallization of iron hydroxide formed by adding sodium hydroxide, goethite occurs at high pH values not less than 12, hematite at pH not less than 8.

The obtained particles of iron oxides according to x-ray phase analysis have a nano and form a layer of deposited particles on the carrier surface.

High mechanical strength and low hydrodynamic resistance is ensured by the choice of the source material carrier having such properties due to the method of its receipt. In the process of preparing granules of the medium shown in example 1, the original aluminum oxide processed binding reagent and calcined, which gives the pellets a high mechanical strength is not less than 8 MPa.

The choice of the form of granules, their sizes are determined by the requirements of the application depends on the capacity and performance of the treatment facility. The smaller the size and performance of a purification system (filter), the smaller can be the size of the granules.

Natural water to be treated, often has a pH value of 8 or more. Typically, Orbeta at this pH have a small capacity for arsenic. Add reagents that reduce the pH of the water, it is difficult - it is necessary to determine the initial pH of the water to calculate the necessary amount of reagent, usually acid, and mix with water. It is preferable to use a sorbent working at high pH values. Obtained according to the invention, the sorbent exhibits a large capacity at these pH values.

The invention is illustrated graphics.

Figure 1 shows the comparison results of the sorption properties of the sorbent, obtained according to the present invention and sorbent Bayer AG.
