RECYCLING OF PLASTIC WASTE TO PRODUCE A SORBENTS WITH DESIRED PROPERTIES
The article presents the results of the research of the process of thermal processing of PET and of textolite to produce a carbon sorbents in the presence of catalyzing additives, which are used as KOH, salts of iron (III), copper (II). Pyrolysis exposed to a mixture of crushed polymer with activating additives. Carbonation took place in an oven muffle-type with adjustable temperature rise when heated 10 °C/min, holding at 600 °C for 60 minutes. As a result of the experiments obtained samples with high mesoporosity as determined by the sorption activity for the dye methylene blue.
