INNOVATIVE CELLULOSE ADSORBER TO INCREASE TREE PROTECTION AGAINST HARMFUL EFFECTS OF ROAD DE-ICING SALT
The study examines the adsorption capacity of compressed cellulose fibres in cylindrical pellets intended for protecting plants and soils from road salt. The innovative adsorbers use short-fibre cellulose waste, which is unsuitable for recycling and is compressed under pressure ranging from 0.1 to 12.0 MPa. Various cylindrical adsorbers were tested and characterised using the Evaporation surface coefficient (ESC). The most efficient absorber with a diameter of 19 mm and a length of 26 mm at a humidity of 6.76% adsorbed brine to 87%. Cellulose adsorbers outperformed previously described Salix viminalis willow chips in de-icing salt capture efficiency (Spisak et al. 2020).
