Abstract

The possibility of organic pollutantphenol adsorption from water using activated carbon fibers- ACFM ( АУВМ «Днепр» – МН ) with different heat treatment degree which can be related to nanostructural systems, has been studied by physico-chemical methods (in particular, adsorbtion – structural analysisand colorimetry). The adsorption activity of the studied sorbents depends on their pore structure. The increased sorption activity of ACFM ( supermicroporou sample ) towards phenol compaired to that of the known native analogues has been established.
