Abstract
This article examines the issues of environmental pollution as a result of man-made activities and determines the most effective ways to protect the biosphere with the help of carbon-adsorption technologies. Due to their physical and chemical properties, activated carbons are an ideal adsorbent and allow solving a wide range of environmental safety issues. Based on the theoretical assumptions expressed by Academician M. M. Dubinin, it is shown that anthracite is an excellent raw material for producing activated coal. A technology for obtaining СAS (Crushed Anthracite Sorbent) grade activated carbons from anthracite has been developed and its adsorption properties have been studied. Tests of СAS activated carbon in the purification of drinking water and wastewater, protection of the atmosphere from harmful gases and vapors, and detoxification of soils from herbicide residues were carried out. The necessity and requirements for the creation of new production facilities for active coals based on anthracite in Russian coal basins are substantiated.
