Introduction. The purpose of this publication is to search for alternative materials -food industry wastes; valuation of it's use in the production of porous carbon materials (PCM) for use in water treatment systems.Materials and methods. Pyrolyzed wood waste (PWW) of the meat processing industry as raw material for the production of sorbents. Chemical activation of PWW by orthophosphoric acid. Using the adsorption-desorption methods of nitrogen, the porous structure was determined at 77 K; mesopore distribution by size and mesopore's volume -by BJH-method; distribution of micropores by size -using QSDFT-method; volume of micropores -by Dubinin-Radushkevich method; subnanopor's volume -by QSDFT-method.Results and discussion. The microporous structure has the following characteristics: pore diameters are in the range of D mi =0,60-2,5 nm, mostly represented by pores with a diameter of 0,87; 1,56 nm; volume of micropores -V mi =0,091 cm Conclusion. An energy-saving method is proposed for the production of PCM from secondary «renewable» resources -PWW, for use in water treatment systems.
