Uzunova, S. | Uzunov, I. | Toteva, V. | Mehandjiev, D.
Carbon/SiO2-containing natural composite material was obtained by slow pyrolysis of rice husks at 350°C. The pyrolyzed rice husks acquired structural and surface characteristics which rendered them a suitable material for the purification of waters from crude oil. In order to improve the adsorption characteristics of the pyrolyzed rice husks they were modified with: 5% H2SO4 solution, 1M 12-stearic acid and hydroxystearic acid, as well as with different amounts of fluids extracted with acetone from the solid pyrolysis residue. A comparative assessment of the effect of modifiers and fluids on the sorption efficiency of the pyrolyzed rice husks toward oil and water was made. On the basis of the results obtained the factor of effectiveness of the adsorbent was determined as a quantitative measure of the efficacy of materials used for cleaning spills of oil and oil products from water surfaces.
