Use of municipal vegetative waste as raw material for sorbent production

Abstract

Abstract The most important direction of waste management is to reduce the resulting environmental impact. One of the promising ways of waste recycling is their use as a raw material for the production of sorbents. The paper presents the results of studies on the possibility of using ChL250, i.e. modified municipal vegetative waste for cleaning the storm runoff of service stations from petroleum products and associated pollutants. It was found that the sorption capacity of the material for petroleum products is 194 mg/g. The trials carried out on real sewage confirmed the viability of this sorbent for use in water treatment.
