EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF THERMALLY AND STEAM ACTIVATED PLUM SEED ADSORBENTS

Аннотация

The article describes the results of the activation of plum pit waste using temperature and water vapor, as well as the analysis of the composition of wastewater based on a selected sample. These adsorbents are intended for the treatment of wastewater from industrial enterprises. The research methods were carried out based on samples presented in the literature and GOST standard indicators. According to the results, the carbon sample pyrolyzed at 500 ⁰C and steam activated at 800 ⁰C demonstrated high adsorption properties and efficiency.In conclusion, it can be said that the release of O₂ and Si elements from the grain composition after thermal pyrolysis and steam treatment leads to an increase in the C number of the obtained activated carbon and an increase in its adsorption properties.
