TECHNICAL AND INSURANCE EVALUATION OF CARBON SORBENTS ON BASIS OF VEGETABLE RAW MATERIALS FOR PURIFICATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

Abstract

The use of fuels and lubricants in Ukraine is rising, primarily due to a rapid growth in the number of vehicles. This results in an increase in harmful emissions, flowout and spills of petroleum products, which negatively affects the ecological condition of the environment. It is revealed that oil products used in the national economy, getting into the soil and aquatic environment pollute them. Soil and water purification depends on the choice of methods, technologies and techniques. The method of sorption (absorption). Sorption, at relatively low cost, is able to provide complete purification from petrochemicals. The efficiency of carbon sorbents obtained by carbonization from secondary products of plant origin is substantiated. Raw materials for production of carbon sorbents can be sawdust, shavings, straw, stems, chaff, leaves. Their quantity for the synthesis of carbon sorbents is practically unlimited. The essence of the process of obtaining carbon sorbents on the basis of plant raw materials is highlighted. The physicochemical and structural sorption characteristics of plant raw materials and carbon sorbents obtained from it are presented. Advantages of carbon sorbents for purification from oil products in comparison with other purification methods are revealed.
