Review article

At present, fresh water sources continue to be polluted by industrial wastewater. At the same time, the materials used for water purification do not fully meet the modern growing needs of science, technology and industry. The use of various inexpensive carbon-containing wastes as adsorbents remains an urgent task to this day. The author proposes a new raw material for the production of a carbon adsorbent for water purification, which makes it possible to utilize the waste of industrial enterprises. There has been studied adsorption activity of the resulting carbon adsorbent, as well as the factors influencing this indicator.
