How petrography can establish the relationship between xylite and activated carbon

摘要

The necessity of xylite ecological valorization represents through the Project LIFE 02 ENV/RO/000461 a new way of practical application of environmental management in Romania. The main project objective consists in creating a valuable, environmental superior product - xylite activated carbon - by developing a non-polluting technology that involves adequate solutions for xylite wastes processing, gases combustion and heat treating. The advantages oferred as well by the raw materials quality - which can reduce the excesiv forest exploitation - as by the clean technological solution lead to an efficient and advanced environmental protection with lower energy costs, providing a measure of the path to sustainability. The paper answers the question how the activities foreseen within this task will be carried out by petrographical researches.
