Prospects for the use of leaf-stem biomass of the Southern reed for the treatment of water bodies

The article is devoted to the actual environmental problem of cleaning water bodies. The authors studied the properties of new sorbents obtained from crushed leafy biomass of the southern reed (Phragmites australis) and their use in the pollution of water bodies by accidental oil spills and oil products. Information about the most common cellulose-containing sorbents used to clean up oil spills is given. The prospects of using sorbents based on crushed and carbonized leafy biomass of southern reed (Phragmites australis) for cleaning water bodies are shown.
