Abstract

We study the filtering and sorption parameters of laboratory-produced composite materials, such as sand-gels, sand-gels with an FeS activating additive, peat-gels, and commercial sorbents on the basis of cellulose coated with MnO2, which can be used for production of permeable geochemical barriers. The carry over and the efficiency of consumption of the active component are estimated for materials with activating additives. It is shown that all the materials under study can be used as fillers for a permeable geochemical barrier, but each of them has its own limitations.
