Abstract
The presence of global water scarcity, as induced by anthropogenic contaminants, has led to the rise of wastewater treatment facilities. However, in middle and low—income countries and regions in particular, the technogenic waste “sludge” produced after water purification has served little particle application, and has even posed an environmental hazard. In this article, the authors examine groundwater treatment plants’ (GWTP) as an alternative source of raw materials, specifically for iron-containing powders, which itself has a wide range of applications. The Velizhanskaya GWTP in Tyumen, Western Siberia, Russian Federation, served to provide the waste samples for this study. The main features of such technogenic waste, such as the chemical composition, the shape, and the size of its particles, are described and analyzed. In order to consider wastes and related products, the technical and economic properties of nanoscale state imparting through ultrasonic radiation impact have been investigated. The key potential areas of consideration for technogenic wastes and related applications have been identified. The environmental risks of studied technogenic wastes possible inappropriate utilization and possible industrial safety rules violations have been analyzed.
