Abstract

 The paper analyzes the effectiveness of the use of carbon sorbents based on sawdust of various tree species in decontamination of fuel and lubricants. The advantages of using the sorption method as an effective, widespread, simple and affordable measure for cleaning oil products are substantiated. Attention is focused on the quality of the sorbent material for the use of carbon sorbents from sawdust of various tree species. The structural, physico-chemical, absorption and sorption characteristics of carbon sorbents from vegetable raw materials are given and the effectiveness of their use for cleaning water and soil environments is shown. The ecological and economic advantages of cleaning the water and soil environment from oil products with carbon sorbents from plant raw materials, compared to other cleaning methods and means, are revealed. The purpose of the work was to analyze the effectiveness of carbon sorbents from sawdust of various tree species in the fight against oil pollution. Research methods are generally accepted. It was established that sawdust of pine and hornbeam has a large oil capacity and sorption capacity, which is 2.1-2.5 times higher, compared to carbon sorbents from sawdust of other species of trees, thanks to which it can be effectively used in decontamination of oil spills. Thermal treatment of sawdust activates its sorption capacity and oil capacity by 2.3-4.1 times, which indicates its ecological efficiency in the adsorption of fuel and lubricant materials. The optimal temperature of sawdust carbonization is within 250-300ºС, and the duration is 9.0-10.5 minutes. We also note the economic efficiency of the introduction of carbon sorbents in 2.5-4.0 times, compared to the use of ordinary sawdust
