Abstract

Physicochemical properties of microspheres of fly ashes of the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk GRES Power Plant were studied. The phase composition of the samples of the microspheres is represented by a mixture of phases of mullite Al6Si2O13, quartz SiO2 and amorphous glass phase with a predominance of the phase of mullite. The possibility of the use of this material as a sorbent was considered. The maximal capacity on petroleum products that reaches 100 mass % was determined. Experiments on the extraction of petroleum products from model contaminated water were performed. The degree of water purification from the surface layer of petroleum products is 99.99 mass %. The effect of the high temperature treatment of the microsphere on the sorption capacity on petroleum products was studied. It was shown that the optimal temperature of the thermal treatment was equal to 250 °С and after calcination at the temperatures of 400 and 600 °С, the material lost the ability to collect the petroleum film from the water surface.
