FAQ: Why does UralHimSorb not regenerate coal, and how can spent sorbent be used in agriculture?

Why does UralKhimsorb not regenerate coal — and how can spent sorbent be useful in agriculture?

We are often asked: why does the Perm plant of sorbents "UralHimSorb" not engage in the regeneration of activated carbon?

The answer is simple: we specialize in the production of new, consistently high-quality activated carbon with predictable characteristics. Regeneration is a separate technological direction, poorly controlled, as it is not always possible to control the quality of the composition of the spent raw materials. In addition, the recovered sorbent is not able to provide the same efficiency and safety as the new product.

We recommend using the spent coal after the purification of drinking water and alcoholic beverages in agriculture

Provided that the coal does not contain hazardous toxicants and heavy metals, it can be used as a soil improver (similar to bio-char).

Step 1. Composition analysis
Before application, it is important to conduct a laboratory study

Step 2. Application to the soil
Applied locally or during the main tillage process.

What are the benefits?

Improved soil structure and water retention capacity
Reduced fertilizer leaching
Increased fertilizer efficiency
Reduced long-term costs for mineral fertilizers

Thus, even after the sorption cycle is complete, the charcoal can continue to work in the agricultural sector.
