Two industrial waste products – namely, cement bypass dust and apple pomace - were used in the synthesis of a new ecological mineral-carbonaceous material intended that can be used for the adsorption of organic pollutants. The raw materials were mixed at initial ratios of 1:5, 1:9, and 1:18, then subjected to pyrolysis in a nitrogen atmosphere at 800°C. The chemical characterization of the resulting mineral-carbonaceous materials showed that the concentrations of Zn, Cd, and Pb were significantly lower than those in the raw and pyrolyzed bypass dust samples, while the concentrations of Na, Mg, Si, and P were higher. The composition and structure of the mineral-carbonaceous materials depend on the initial dust-to-pomace weight ratio. All materials exhibited a mesoporous nature, with specific surface areas more than one hundred times greater than those of the individual substrates. The highest value exhibits the material with the 1:9 bypass dust-to-apple pomace ratio. This material also had a homogenous, fine-grained structure, with the bypass dust completely covered by carbon. After 24 h, approximately 90% of captan was removed from the aqueous solution and adsorbed onto the mineral-carbonaceous materials. The removal efficiency depended on the initial bypass dust-to-apple pomace ratio, with the best performance (97.3%) observed in the material synthesized at the 1:9 ratio. Our results confirm that otherwise useless wastes can serve as suitable substrates for the synthesis of mineral-carbonaceous materials, which can function as adsorbents for organic pollutants and as potential sources of valuable nutrients.

Dwa odpady przemysłowe, pył cementowy i wytłoki jabłkowe, wykorzystano w syntezie nowego ekologicznego materiału mineralno-węglowego, który może być stosowany do adsorpcji zanieczyszczeń organicznych. Surowce zmieszano w proporcjach początkowych 1:5, 1:9 i 1:18 i poddano pirolizie w atmosferze azotu w temperaturze 800°C. Scharakteryzowano skład pierwiastkowy i mineralny oraz właściwości powierzchniowe za pomocą izoterm adsorpcji-desorpcji azotu w niskiej temperaturze. Właściwości adsorpcyjne kaptanu mierzono metodą GCMS. Charakterystyka chemiczna materiałów mineralno-węglowych wskazała, że stężenia Zn, Cd i Pb w syntetyzowanych materiałach były znacznie niższe niż w surowych i pirolizowanych przez próbki pyłu bypass, podczas gdy stężenia Na, Mg, Si lub P były wyższe. Skład i struktura materiałów mineralno-węglowych zależą od początkowego stosunku wagowego pyłu do wytłoków. Wszystkie materiały wykazywały naturę mezoporowatą, o powierzchni właściwej, która była ponad sto razy większa od powierzchni poszczególnych substratów. Jednak najwyższą wartość wykazuje materiał o stosunku pyłu bypass do wytłoków jabłkowych 1:9. Zaobserwowano, że po 24 godzinach około 90% kaptanu zostało usunięte z roztworu wodnego i zaadsorbowane na materiałach mineralno-węglowych. Wydajność usuwania zależała od początkowego stosunku pyłu bypass do wytłoków jabłkowych, a najlepsze wyniki (97,3%) odnotowano dla materiału o początkowym stosunku 1 do 9. Wyniki naszych badań potwierdziły, że bezużyteczne odpady stanowią odpowiednie substraty do syntezy materiałów mineralno-węglowych, które mogą być wykorzystywane jako adsorbenty zanieczyszczeń organicznych oraz stanowić potencjalne źródło cennych składników odżywczych.
