TECHNOLOGY FOR PRODUCING BIOABSORBENTS FOR WATER PURIFICATION FROM PLANT RESIDUES GROWING IN TURKMENISTAN

Аннотация

The issue of water pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century, particularly in arid regions like Turkmenistan, where access to clean water is limited. In recent years, bioabsorbents derived from agricultural and plant residues have emerged as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for water purification. This article explores the technological processes involved in producing bioabsorbents from local plant residues in Turkmenistan, emphasizing their chemical and structural properties, adsorption efficiency, and sustainability benefits. The study highlights how Turkmenistan’s abundant agricultural by-products—such as cotton stalks, wheat straw, and pomegranate peels—can be transformed into high-performance bioabsorbents through thermal, chemical, and biological treatments. Additionally, it discusses the practical application of these materials for removing heavy metals, dyes, and organic pollutants from contaminated water sources. The implementation of such technologies not only supports environmental protection but also promotes sustainable waste management and circular economy principles within the region.
