Abstract

The paper deals with the efficiency of selected sorption materials when used on selected chemical hazardous substances in practice. Experimental investigation to very real effectiveness of technic sorption materials has been made. Selected samples of technic sorption materials that can be used for the disposal of leaked chemical substance. Sorbent powders of Eco Dry, Spilkleen and textile sorbents of HKZP 4446 and E 1000 where used and applied as technical sorbents. They studied technical sorbents are mostly used in interventions related to chemical release of a hazardous substance. With respect of urgency in real incidental situations some improvised sorption materials such a peat, wood chips, cement mixtures, road gritting materials, lime and limestone rubble were experimentally tested as a potentially cheap and common equivalent to the specialized technical sorbents used by professionals. Sorbent were applied to the samples of common chemical hazardous substances for case of leakage such as oil, petrol, alkali (sodium, potassium), ammonium, acids (sulfuric, hydrobromic, acetic acid). The results of experiments in order to compare the effectiveness of professional and improvised sorbents were quantified by comparing of two main physical quantities. Firstly the partial residuum of the dangerous substance out of the total amount, secondly the percentage of a new chemical bonds among pure sorbent and dangerous substance. These quantities were measured and evaluated with interesting results.
