Effects of aviation kerosene contents on the environment and method of its cleansing
Abstract
The high content of sulfur compounds in aviation kerosene produced at the Bukhara Oil Refinery (BOR) is causing great damage to the environment. Purification of sulfur compounds in aviation kerosene using activated charcoal is effective. One way to remove sulfur compounds from aviation kerosene is to clean them using activated charcoal (adsorbent) obtained based on fruit pods. Purification of aviation kerosene from mercaptans is a chemical adsorption process, using activated charcoal obtained based on shells of fruit seeds (walnuts, peaches, apricots, etc.). The adsorption of activated carbon obtained on the basis of husks of fruit seeds (walnuts, peaches, apricots, etc.) depends on the physicochemical properties; such activated charcoals were obtained by thermochemical methods.
