The purpose of this work was to investigate the possibility of applying active carbons AG-5 and AG-5ox for the removal of nitrite ions from water in (i) dynamic and (ii) oxic conditions. Obtained results reveal that the sample AG-5 is more efficient for removal of nitrite ions from water in the dynamic conditions but sample AG-5ox is more efficient in oxic conditions. The capacity of active carbon AG-5 for nitrite ions removal from water, expressed in dynamic conditions as a ratio of the adsorbent volume to the solution volume passed through column with adsorbent, is about 1:80. Studies show that the application of the recommended method using the AG-5ox carbonic adsorbent provides of 75% efficiency in the removal of nitrite ions from natural water and 100% of the model solution.Active carbonDynamic conditionNitrite ionsOxic conditionRemovalSymposium Proceedings
