Methods of getting activated carbon from plant materials

This article is devoted to the production of activated carbon from vegetable raw materials. Due to the environmental stress, the problem of obtaining and searching for new sorbents, as well as the development of new sorption technologies, is urgent. Of particular interest are many tonnage production, such as, for example, timber processing and chemical industries. The latter is due to two reasons. On the one hand, the technologies of these industries are burdened with significant waste. On the other - wood and its components, natural compounds are the raw material for sorbents, and a unique sorbent is activated charcoal.
