The paper presents scientific results related to the establishment of water disinfection processes for Nistru River and highlights their effectiveness, using chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite as disinfectants.
It was established that from ecological and economical points of view, the most effective method of disinfection is the use of sodium hypochlorite.
8
New catalysts have been synthesized based on carbon and mineral sorbents.
The obtained catalysts were tested as solid supports to remove hydrogen sulfide from groundwater through aeration and oxidation processes.
It was established that carbonic adsorbents made from nut shells and peach stones, oxidized and impregnated with ions of Cu2+, Mn2+ and Fe3+ show enhanced properties in the processes of oxidation and adsorption of hydrogen sulfide ions.
Among mineral catalysts, the most prominent regarding the oxidation and adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide are solid media obtained by intercalation with aluminum oligomers and modified with manganese salts.

The centralized networks of drinking water supply in Republic of Moldova require the resizing of national strategy within this domain of activityIt is based on both extensive principles of increase water uptake in the Nistru, Prut and Danube rivers and the increase of water abstraction from deep underground aquifers horizons on one hand, and based on intensive principles of the water potabilization technologies betterment, making more efficient the use of new reactive generation, on the other hand. The studies that were done open new possibilities for the improvement of ground and underground water potabilization technologies in Republic of Moldova, assuring the sanitation and human health norms.
10
Nowadays, 67% of the population of Republic of Moldova is using potable water from the centralized systems. According to the forecasts, the water volume dispensed by centralized water systems is about 130 liters man/day, for townsman is about 275 liters man/day.There are regions where water supply is insignificant. One person from Vulcanesti gets 64 liters of water per day. The problem of potable water supply is still severe for the population and national economy that is caused by the irregular distribution of water sources on the territory of Republic of Moldova and by the poor water quality. Water pipes, sewages and the water treatment system require important financial and material resources.
11
The researches were aimed to improve technological process of ground and underground water potabilization of the country.
The researches were oriented to remark the efficiency of new disinfectants in order to substitute chemicals presently used for the ground water treatments as primarily of liquid chlorine.
The usage of chlorine for the disinfection of drinkable water involves serious security measures of transportation, storage and installations operation.
In the case of emergency situations (earthquake, fire) increases the risk of producing the chlorine gas emissions within the space with environment pollution and mass population intoxication.
There were made scientific researches for the procedures for hydrogen sulphide and sulphide removal from groundwater by physical, physicochemical methods.
Scientific research was done at the Treatment water station of the Nistru River in Chisinau.
There were used as disinfectants liquid chlorine as well as chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite.
The study of hydrogen sulfide and sulfides removal processes from underground waters in semi-pilot conditions was done at the Ecologic Chemistry Lab of Chemistry Institute of Academy of Sciences of Moldova.
Thus, it was used active carbon CAN-8, derived from nut shells activated with water vapors, modified with Mn2+ and Fe3+ ions.
The saturation process of active carbon CAN-8 with ions of Mn2+ and Fe3+ was realized by using concerned chlorides in equimolar ratio, after what it was washed with distilled water and dried at 1050C to get constant mass.
There were taken 10 liters of underground water from the Hincesti well No. 1, 20 grams of active carbon CAN-8 + Mn2+
+Fe3+ and this content was bubbled with air (400L/h).13

Analysis of results presented in table nr.2 shows that the water quality indicators after the treatment with 0,8 % sodium hypochlorite solution respects the norms of State Standard of domain.
Kinetics of hydrogen sulfide elimination process is presented in cycles in figure nr.1.
The efficiency of carbon adsorbent (CAN-8+Mn2+
+Fe3+) was evaluated during 3 cycles, throughout the elimination process of hydrogen sulfide by physic- chemical method (aeration – oxidation -adsorption).
Thus, it was evaluated during 3 cycles, after about 20-30 minutes of water treatment was registered total elimination of hydrogen sulfide (fig. 1)

It is notable the change of ion concentration of sulfates - produced by oxidation of hydrogen sulfide in cycles. These data are presented in the table

Data presented in fig.1 and table 3 shows that only the first cycle takes place with maximum efficiency both in terms of kinetics hydrogen sulfide removal from water and oxidation process of hydrogen sulphide to sulphates.
The catalytic activity of modified carbon decreases while the number of cycles increases during the experiment.
This is because more to the point of the oxidation process of hydrogen sulfide to sulfates there takes place the oxidation process of hydrogen sulfide to sulfur colloid.
Thus, it makes possible the change of structure parameters of active carbon saturated with iron and manganese ions
19
The table nr. 4 presents the original and after 3 cycles CAN-8 +Mn2+ +Fe3+ active carbon structure parameters, which were reached by nitrogen isotherms adsorption at Autosorb nr.1 plant.
Data from the Table 4 show that all the structure parameters of adsorbent (catalyst) is reduced significantly after 3 cycles of use. It is important that the volume of micro-pores is reduced that signifies that perhaps the by the oxidation is still forming colloidal sulfur. The area surface of the adsorbent is reduced after 3 cycles then the process takes place due to the adsorption of humic acids in studied water. The humic acids cannot be absorbed in micro-pores because of too large size of their molecules. 20

Conclusions1.The use of sodium hypochlorite for the technologic processes of water treatment ensures a good disinfection, according to the drinkable water norms. The presented technology is feasible from the economic point of view as well.2.The effectiveness of adsorbent carbon (CAN-8 + Mn2 + + Fe3 +) in the process of hydrogen sulfide removal, by physicochemical method (aeration-oxidation - adsorption) was evaluated in semi-pilot conditions using underground water. It was proved that after about 20-30 min of the water treatment, the total elimination of hydrogen sulfide is recorded.3.The specific surface of active carbons and the volume of micro-pores during the potabilization process are getting smaller. This can be explained by the fact that during the potabilization process of contaminated waters by hydrogen sulphide and colloid sulphide sulfur the pores of carbonic adsorbents are blocked.
