Influence of minerals of volcanic origin on the chemical composition of water

Abstract

The results of the influence of minerals of volcanic origin (analcime, bentonite and saponite) on the main chemical parameters of pond waters with a high content of calcium and sulfates are presented, and additionally contaminated with nitrates. The sorption properties of all minerals studied are determined, taking into account the decrease in the concentration of ammonium nitrogen. The use of saponite and bentonite provides a reduction in the concentration of phosphorus in water and an increase in alkalinity. Analcim and saponite are used effectively to increase the magnesium content and decrease the calcium content in water.
