title: Activated carbon from oil shale semi-coke
reg no: ETF5151
project type: Estonian Science Foundation research grant
subject: 2.6. Chemical Engineering
status: completed
institution: Tallinn Technical University
head of project: Rein Kuusik
duration: 01.01.2002 - 31.12.2004
description: Aim of the research is to estimate possibilities for utilising residual value of semi-coke - the solid waste of oil shale thermal processing, using the carbon contained in semi-coke for getting activated carbon. The presence and distribution of different forms of carbon in semicoke will be clarified and also the possibilities for its enrichment and activation. Physico-chemical characterisation and estimation for application of the products will be given.
