Today, improving the management of solid waste (MSW) in Georgia is one of the priority directions of the country, which provides for the harmonization of the development process of waste management in Georgia with the European waste management policy. Currently, the main part of solid household waste generated throughout our country is placed in landfills (90%). Utilization of waste by placing it on landfills leads to significant pollution of environmental objects (soil, water, air), which in turn negatively affects the health of the population. Waste recycling, i.e. technological processing of waste into other products, is the main component of modern waste management technologies. Most of the household, agricultural and other types of waste generated throughout the country are subject to recycling. Our study includes Rs. Using the method of rational and ecologically beneficial minimization of the amount of solid household waste developed at Agladze Institute of Inorganic Chemistry and Electrochemistry. In particular, the hard-to-degradable solid food waste fraction - obtaining coal by low-temperature anaerobic thermal treatment of polymers in order to study the quality of ammonium ion sorption from wastewater. In general, the quality of the surface waters of Georgia is satisfactory, mainly the problem is the increased content of nitrogen forms in the water, including ammonium nitrogen. In the largest part of the rivers, the concentration of ammonium nitrogen exceeds the maximum permissible levels, which is caused by municipal, agricultural and industrial wastewater. The aim of our research is to obtain a carbon sorbent by thermochemical processing of polymer waste and to study the ability of ammonium ion sorption from waste water.
