Abstract

Some results of a comparative analysis of the textural parameters and sorption characteristics of carbonizates obtained by microwave and traditional heating of apricot kernel shells are presented. It has been shown that sorbent samples obtained by microwave carbonization of shells, in comparison with sorbents obtained by traditional heating, are characterized by a more uniform distribution of pore sizes, greater adsorption capacity and low fractal dimension of the surface.
