Review article

There were carried out experiments aimed at reducingthe concentration of boron in the drinking water fromthe artesian well in the Novovyatsk micro-district of thecity of Kirov. The results of the analysis of various boron concentration reduction methods, such as cacoagulation, the use of chemicals (sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide), electro-coagulation and adsorption, are presented. The addition of sodium hypochlorite has turned out to be the most effective method, which reduces the concentration of boron by98.30 %. There has been demonstrated the effectiveness of the methods in combination with mixing and aeration with air.
