The study investigates the structural and surface changes occurring in carbonate drilling sludge (CDS) of oil-based origin under high-temperature pyrolysis. The main focus is placed on the transformation of the organo-mineral system using IR spectroscopy, as well as on the changes in textural characteristics analyzed by adsorption–pore methods (BET and BJH). It has been established that pyrolysis ensures the complete removal of the organic fraction of the sludge, which is confi rmed by the disappearance of characteristic aliphatic hydrocarbon bands in the IR-spectra.

The structural and sorption properties of composite sorbents based on natural bentonite modified with carbon compounds have been investigated. Modification of the initial bentonite by low-temperature (650°C) pyrolysis of sucrose in the presence of metal salts of the iron subgroup leads to a significant increase in the specific surface area of composite sorbents (up to 275 m2/g), this is due to low-temperature catalytic graphitization of the carbon fraction formed during pyrolysis.
