Abstract
Hostilities leads to damage or destruction of hydrotechnical structures, as well as riverbeds are disturbance. This leads to turbidity of clay particles contained in surface waters. As a result, the load on sewage treatment plants increases, which can also be damaged as a result of hostilities. This leads to a deterioration in the level of providing the civilian population with clean water. A mathematical model of clay particles monitoring and retention by polystyrene foam from an aqueous suspension due to the phenomenon of electrostatic adsorption has been developed. Its adequacy was checked using experimental studies of the ζ-potential of the adsorbent and adsorbate. The factors affecting intensity of the process of water purification from clay particles at different year seasons by filtration through granular media have been studied and analyzed. The effectiveness of polystyrene foam at different stages of the process of filtering an aqueous suspension containing clay particles was investigated. The dependence of the intensity of retention of colloids of mineral origin by polystyrene foam filter media granules on the value of their ζ-potential was determined.
