Nitroguanidine Wastewater Pollution Control Technology: Phase III. Ion Exchange and Carbon Adsorption Treatment

Abstract

Treatment methods are needed to decrease concentrations of guanidinium ion (Gu+) and nitroguanidine (NQ) from Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant wastewaters. Thus, feasibility studies were performed concerning the ion exchange removal of Gu+ and activated carbon absorption of NQ. The solutions from which these species were removed contained NH4+ and Na+ ion, which were also expected in waste-water. Synthetic ion-exchange resins remove Gu+; however, resin capacities are expected to be considerably lower than those attained in conventional hardwater treatment. Procedures are presented to estimate resin capacity for solutions of other Gu+, NH4+, or Na+ concentrations.
