Sorptional properties of fuel shale and spent shale

Аннотация

The sorptional properties of fuel shales and spent shales in removing organic compounds (petroleum and its derivatives) from water are studied. The basic benefit of spent shale as a sorbent is that it is available at no expense as the processing waste of fuel shale. After sorption, the fuel shale or spent shale saturated with petroleum or its derivatives may expediently be used as a fuel, on account of their high calorific value.
