Assessment of Peat Pollution by Heavy Metals Depending on the Depth of Occurrence Solid Fuel Chem. (IF 0.541) Pub Date : 2020-03-06 S. A. Sypalov; A. Yu. Kozhevnikov; N. L. Ivanchenko; Yu. A. Popova; N. A. Sobolev
AbstractPeat was studied in order to assess the concentrations of heavy metals in it depending on the depth of occurrence. Genetically homogeneous peat layers with occurrence depths of 0–5, 5–35, 35–85, 85–140, 140–220, and 220–375 cm were analyzed for the concentrations of Ag, Hg, Pb, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Tl, and As. The metal concentrations were determined on an ICP-MS Aurora Elite inductively

Criteria for Selecting Coal Deposits as a Raw Materials Base for Plants for the Production of Synthetic Liquid Fuels in Russia Solid Fuel Chem. (IF 0.541) Pub Date : 2020-03-06 M. Ya. Shpirt; E. G. Gorlov; A. V. Shumovskii
AbstractThe dependences of coal reactivity characteristics on the following main geological and genetic factors were determined: the petrographic composition, the stage of coalification, the degree of coal oxidation–reduction, and the concentrations and composition of mineral components in coals. On this basis, a set of characteristics (criteria) is proposed for assessing the degree of coal suitability

Adsorption of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid on Granular Activated Carbon Solid Fuel Chem. (IF 0.541) Pub Date : 2020-03-06 S. A. Kulaishin; M. D. Vedenyapina; L. R. Sharifullina; A. L. Lapidus
AbstractThe adsorption of a typical herbicide, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), from its aqueous solution on granular activated carbon (GAC) was studied. The kinetics of adsorption of 2,4-D on GAC and its porosimetric characteristics and microstructure were studied. A high adsorption capacity of GAC for 2,4-D was found.
