Abstract

The study of active coals obtained from high-moor peat of the European North of Russia was conducted by method of thermochemical activation with NaOH with various types of pre-treatment (debituminization and pre-hydrolysis). Based on the results of the low-temperature adsorption of nitrogen, the derived active coals belong to the adsorbents in which the structure of the micro-agents predominates. The specific surface of the coal pores reaches 2330 m2/g, the total volume of pores – 1.44 cm3/g. It has been determined that the introduction of the pre-hydrolysis stage makes it possible to increase significantly the yield of active coals. For initial peat samples, the growth is 28%; for debituminized – 97%, moreover it significantly improve its sorption characteristics. It has been shown that weakly decomposed peat of the European North of Russia can be used as raw material for producing high-efficiency carbon microporous adsorbents.
