Abstract

Properties of fibrous petroleum collectors obtained by non-isobaric thermal treatment of various kinds of polystyrene raw material with water vapour were studied. It was shown that these sorbents possess high sorption capacity with respect to petroleum products and can be used as the filtering material in the process of water purification from petroleum products. It was established that fibrous sorbents possess not worse characteristics than the commercial analogues do.
