ROLE OF ACTIVE CARBONS IN PROTECTING THE BIOSPHERE FROM INDUSTRIAL EMISSIONS
The main path for the protection of the biosphere with the use of active carbons (AC) has been substantiated. Particular emphasis is placed on highlighting the most important areas of AC application that ensure the environmental safety of the Russian Federation, namely, detoxification of soils from pesticide residues, purification of drinking water and waste water, and purification of waste gases from incinerators. It has been substantiated that active coals of the DAS grade based on anthracite with high volumetric microporosity (cm3 / cm3) significantly increase the efficiency of drinking water and wastewater treatment.
