Lishevskaya UDC 677.46 The modification of cellulose fibres is of considerable interest for preparing materials having ion- exchange properties. The highly developed surface of cellulose fibres, which promotes high rates of ad- sorption and desorption, and the simplicity of the processing equipment makes the use of cellulose ion- exchangers promising in various fields of the national economy. In this paper we present some results of using ion-exchange cellulose fibres for decontaminating various effluents from the chemical industries and products from the food industry. Removal of Phenols from Effluents Since there is a stringent standard of 0.001 mg/litre for the phenol content of reservoirs in the USSR, thorough purification of industrial effluents is required before they are passed to reservoirs. The current methods of removing phenol [1] are complex, and complete removal of phenol is not achieved in the majority of cases. It is of interest to use modified cellulose fibres possessing anion-ex- change properties for the sorption of phenol. The experiments were conducted under dynamic conditions by passing the water to be purified up- wards through columns filled with the ion-exchange fibre.
