Features of Interaction of Crushed Daurian Larch Bark with Petroleum Products

Abstract

The work summarizes a series of publications devoted to the study of the sorption capacity of the bark of the Daurian larch, in terms of studying the possibility of its use as a source material for the production of a sorbent for cleaning reservoirs from oil pollution. A simple method of processing the bark of Daurian larch is proposed, which leads to a significant increase in its sorption qualities. The results of experimental studies of the density and sorption capacity of larch bark, as well as the results of spectral studies of its structure, are presented. The conducted research allowed us to determine the mechanism of increasing the porosity of the bark of the Daurian larch during its hydrothermal treatment and, as a result, leading to a significant increase in sorption capacity.
