Microwave Radiation in Wastewater Treatment and Sedimentations Treatment Technologies

The main results of research on the use of microwave radiation in wastewater treatment and treatment of their sedimentations, as well as water treatment waste, are presented. The thermal influence of microwaves on the water and sedimentations properties is considered. The experimental data obtained by foreign and domestic specialists for the following processes using microwaves are shown: degradation of organic substances, de-emulsification of oil-containing wastewater, removal of metals, disinfection, intensification of biogas yield, sediments pyrolysis, modification of the absorbents, intensification of compaction and dewatering of natural water treatment sedimentation. New microwave equipment for treatment the various wastes is described.
