Popis: The paper researches and optimizes new physical methods of industrial wastewater treatment of organic contaminants for advanced environmental technologies. It presents the results of studies of photodegradation of the organic methylene blue by high-intensity optical continuous spectrum radiation generated by xenon pulsed lamp in aqueous solution. Processing of aqueous solution was carried out in once-through and circulation modes without using any additional chemicals. The possibility of deep degradation of an organic pigment as the result of direct photolysis is displayed. Specific energy consumption was determined for photochemical water purification in once-through and circulation modes. Energy consumption required to achieve a given level of reduction of the initial concentration of the water pollutant in circulation mode can exceed that in once-through mode of photochemical processing by several times. Experimental results are consistent with theoretical estimations.
