Applied technological researches in AIC of
Moldova are developed in the following
directions
  • agriculture, land amelioration, water and
    forestry
  • crop and plant protection
  • livestock and veterinary medicine
  • mechanization, electrification and automation of
    production
  • storage and processing of agricultural products.

  • The paper presents scientific results related to
    the establishment of water disinfection processes
    for Nistru River and highlights their
    effectiveness, using chlorine dioxide and sodium
    hypochlorite as disinfectants.
  • It was established that from ecological and
    economical points of view, the most effective
    method of disinfection is the use of sodium
    hypochlorite.

9
  • New catalysts have been synthesized based on
    carbon and mineral sorbents.
  • The obtained catalysts were tested as solid
    supports to remove hydrogen sulfide from
    groundwater through aeration and oxidation
    processes.
  • It was established that carbonic adsorbents made
    ??from nut shells and peach stones, oxidized and
    impregnated with ions of Cu2, Mn2 and Fe3 show
    enhanced properties in the processes of oxidation
    and adsorption of hydrogen sulfide ions.
  • Among mineral catalysts, the most prominent
    regarding the oxidation and adsorption capacity
    of hydrogen sulfide are solid media obtained by
    intercalation with aluminum oligomers and
    modified with manganese salts.

10
  • The centralized networks of drinking water supply
    in Republic of Moldova require the resizing of
    national strategy within this domain of activity
  • It is based on both extensive principles of
    increase water uptake in the Nistru, Prut and
    Danube rivers and the increase of water
    abstraction from deep underground aquifers
    horizons on one hand, and based on intensive
    principles of the water potabilization
    technologies betterment, making more efficient
    the use of new reactive generation, on the other
    hand.
  • The studies that were done open new possibilities
    for the improvement of ground and underground
    water potabilization technologies in Republic of
    Moldova, assuring the sanitation and human health
    norms.

11
  • Nowadays, 67 of the population of Republic of
    Moldova is using potable water from the
    centralized systems.
  • According to the forecasts, the water volume
    dispensed by centralized water systems is about
    130 liters man/day, for townsman is about 275
    liters man/day.
  • There are regions where water supply is
    insignificant. One person from Vulcanesti gets 64
    liters of water per day.
  • The problem of potable water supply is still
    severe for the population and national economy
    that is caused by the irregular distribution of
    water sources on the territory of Republic of
    Moldova and by the poor water quality.
  • Water pipes, sewages and the water treatment
    system require important financial and material
    resources.

12
  • The researches were aimed to improve
    technological process of ground and underground
    water potabilization of the country.
  • The researches were oriented to remark the
    efficiency of new disinfectants in order to
    substitute chemicals presently used for the
    ground water treatments as primarily of liquid
    chlorine.
  • The usage of chlorine for the disinfection of
    drinkable water involves serious security
    measures of transportation, storage and
    installations operation.
  • In the case of emergency situations (earthquake,
    fire) increases the risk of producing the
    chlorine gas emissions within the space with
    environment pollution and mass population
    intoxication.
  • There were made scientific researches for the
    procedures for hydrogen sulphide and sulphide
    removal from groundwater by physical,
    physicochemical methods.

13
  • Scientific research was done at the Treatment
    water station of the Nistru River in Chisinau.
  • There were used as disinfectants liquid chlorine
    as well as chlorine dioxide and sodium
    hypochlorite.
  • The study of hydrogen sulfide and sulfides
    removal processes from underground waters in
    semi-pilot conditions was done at the Ecologic
    Chemistry Lab of Chemistry Institute of Academy
    of Sciences of Moldova.
  • Thus, it was used active carbon CAN-8, derived
    from nut shells activated with water vapors,
    modified with Mn2 and Fe3 ions.
  • The saturation process of active carbon CAN-8
    with ions of Mn2 and Fe3 was realized by using
    concerned chlorides in equimolar ratio, after
    what it was washed with distilled water and dried
    at 1050C to get constant mass.
  • There were taken 10 liters of underground water
    from the Hincesti well No. 1, 20 grams of active
    carbon CAN-8 Mn2 Fe3 and this content was
    bubbled with air (400L/h).

  • Analysis of results presented in table nr.2 shows
    that the water quality indicators after the
    treatment with 0,8 sodium hypochlorite solution
    respects the norms of State Standard of domain.
  • Kinetics of hydrogen sulfide elimination process
    is presented in cycles in figure nr.1.
  • The efficiency of carbon adsorbent
    (CAN-8Mn2Fe3) was evaluated during 3 cycles,
    throughout the elimination process of hydrogen
    sulfide by physic- chemical method (aeration
    oxidation -adsorption).
  • Thus, it was evaluated during 3 cycles, after
    about 20-30 minutes of water treatment was
    registered total elimination of hydrogen sulfide
    (fig. 1)

  • It is notable the change of ion concentration of
    sulfates - produced by oxidation of hydrogen
    sulfide in cycles. These data are presented in
    the table

19
  • Data presented in fig.1 and table 3 shows that
    only the first cycle takes place with maximum
    efficiency both in terms of kinetics hydrogen
    sulfide removal from water and oxidation process
    of hydrogen sulphide to sulphates.
  • The catalytic activity of modified carbon
    decreases while the number of cycles increases
    during the experiment.
  • This is because more to the point of the
    oxidation process of hydrogen sulfide to sulfates
    there takes place the oxidation process of
    hydrogen sulfide to sulfur colloid.
  • Thus, it makes possible the change of structure
    parameters of active carbon saturated with iron
    and manganese ions

20
  • The table nr. 4 presents the original and after
    3 cycles CAN-8 Mn2 Fe3 active carbon
    structure parameters, which were reached by
    nitrogen isotherms adsorption at Autosorb nr.1
    plant.
  • Data from the Table 4 show that all the structure
    parameters of adsorbent (catalyst) is reduced
    significantly after 3 cycles of use.
  • It is important that the volume of micro-pores
    is reduced that signifies that perhaps the by the
    oxidation is still forming colloidal sulfur.
  • The area surface of the adsorbent is reduced
    after 3 cycles then the process takes place due
    to the adsorption of humic acids in studied
    water.
  • The humic acids cannot be absorbed in micro-pores
    because of too large size of their molecules.

  • Conclusions
  • The use of sodium hypochlorite for the
    technologic processes of water treatment ensures
    a good disinfection, according to the drinkable
    water norms. The presented technology is feasible
    from the economic point of view as well.
  • The effectiveness of adsorbent carbon (CAN-8
    Mn2 Fe3 ) in the process of hydrogen sulfide
    removal, by physicochemical method
    (aeration-oxidation - adsorption) was evaluated
    in semi-pilot conditions using underground water.
    It was proved that after about 20-30 min of the
    water treatment, the total elimination of
    hydrogen sulfide is recorded.
  • The specific surface of active carbons and the
    volume of micro-pores during the potabilization
    process are getting smaller. This can be
    explained by the fact that during the
    potabilization process of contaminated waters by
    hydrogen sulphide and colloid sulphide sulfur the
    pores of carbonic adsorbents are blocked.
