Adsorption of petroleum products from aqueous solutions on a multilayer adsorbent
The adsorption of crude oil, diesel oil, and gasoline is studied under dynamic conditions on passing aqueous emulsions through alternating layers of two types of adsorbents, a finely dispersed powder based on aluminum oxide-hydroxide phases and a basalt fiber. It is found that regardless of the type of petroleum products, their adsorption is described by the same linear isotherm. Two layers of the powdered adsorbent and three layers of the high-capacity fibrous adsorbent make it possible to purify emulsions with the initial content of 230-300 mg/l to the level of water quality standards.
