Research of the possibility of using petroleum coke in the production of crushed carbon sorbents

Currently, the processes of oil industry are focused on deepening refining. One ways to deepen refining is obtain petroleum cokes at delayed coking plants. At moment, total productivity plants increasing, while output coke with a high sulfur content also growing, which does not allow it be used in typical consumption – metallurgical industry. In this regard, researchers actively exploring possibility qualified alternative use coke. promising directions as raw material for production activated carbons, will significantly expand base their production. paper, studies have been conducted obtaining crushed carbons based KES grade During experiments, samples were obtained by single- and double-stage heat treatment (carbonation an inert atmosphere activation environment superheated water vapor), characteristics porous structure determined. The research results shown that carbon two-stage has sufficiently specific surface area (446 m2/g) maximum volume sorption space (0.264 cm3/g). Thus, proposed method processing into can serve one its use, opens up opportunities technology
