Filtering foam-glassceramic media for potable water cleaning from manganese and iron

On the basis of the use of household and industrial cullet, red clay and organic additives, an environmentally friendly technology has been developed for producing glass-ceramic material - granular filtering foam glass-ceramic. Presented are laboratory and operational tests of the obtained filter material, its suitability for purification of various types of water. The complex of oxides and hydroxides obtained on the surface of glass-ceramic granules makes it possible to remove iron and manganese from water.
