THE INVESTIGATION OF THE POROUS STRUCTURE OF CARBON SORBENTS BASED ON β-CYCLODEXTRIN FOR USE IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TECHNOLOGIES

In this paper, the porous structure of three types of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) carbons was synthesized and investigated. The first carbon was obtained from pure β-CD, the second carbon was synthesized from β-CD using the KOH activator, and the third carbon was synthesized from pure β-CD with additional ultrasonic treatment in the non-cavitation mode at the last stage. It was found that the carbon from pure β-CD has a micromesoporous structure with a small specific surface area (~35 m2/g).
