Introduction Porous materials are widely used in such industries as chemical, food industry, petrochemis-try, medicine, and environmental protection. Nanoporous materials NMM, characterized by a pore size of to nm, are a great alternative to non-porous materials due to the presence of a number of unique properties. Among NM are microporous materials e.g. zeolitess and mesoporous materials e.g., porous polymers, aluminum or silicatess. According to IUPAC nomenclature, the definition of "microporous" corresponds to the pore size of nm, the definition of "mesoporous" corresponds to-nm []. By chemical composition NM are divided into aluminum silicates, metals, oxides, silicates, consisting only of carbon and organic polymers. These materials are combined in a high surface area and porosity. NM are used in various fields of chemistry and technology, depending on their chemical composition, pore size and distribution, porosity value.
