Abstract
As shown in the work shows that due to the rapid growth of the number of machines, mechanisms, vehicles, the use of fuels and lubricants is constantly increasing. Despite all precautions, spills and flows of oil products occur in significant volumes, it has a negative impact on the ecological state of the environment. It has been proven how oil products pollute the soil and water environment when get into. Their cleaning depends on the choice of methods, means, measures, technologies and techniques. The method of sorption (absorption) is now becoming especially widespread. With the help of sorption, at relatively low costs, it is possible to provide effective cleaning of soil and water from oil products. The efficiency of carbon sorbents produced by carbonization from by-products of the wood industry, that is, pine sawdust, has been substantiated. The essence, processes, technologies, transformations in the production of carbon sorbents based on pine sawdust are shown. The physicochemical, structural and sorption properties of the pine sawdust, its fractions and carbon sorbents produced on it are presented. It has been revealed the ecological and economic advantages of carbon sorbents based on pine sawdust for cleaning from petroleum products in comparison with other cleaning methods.
