Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of obtaining sorbents on the basis of plant raw materials used to eliminate
emergency spills of oil and oil products. One of the species of higher aquatic plants of macrophytes - Typha latifolia (Typha
latifolia) was used as a sorbent. The characteristics of a macrophytehographic broadleaf on the main parameters (the chemical
composition of the plant, its resistance to oil pollution) were studied. Under laboratory conditions, the raw materials were
modified by treatment with alkali; the oil capacity, water absorption and buoyancy of sorption materials with respect to light,
medium and heavy fractions of oil and oil products were studied. According to the obtained data for determining the oil capacity
using kinetic curves, the relationship between the amount of absorbed oil by the sorbent over a certain period of time was studied.
