Silica gels are one of the most widely used adsorbents. The best view of the properties of silicas as catalytic supports, adsorbents and other applications give the adsorption-texture parameters and especially the specific surface area. Hydrated silicon dioxide is amorphous (SiO2.nH2O),a reactive compound with various contains. Due to the serious practical interest of the determination of the specific surface area of materials many methods are developed and have found application. The study evaluates the impact of the surface and surface modification on the possibility of an express method for determination of specific surface areas of silica gels.

The object of the paper is the dynamic adsorption of new type generated gas mask carbons for respiratory protection, based on apricot shells and the impact of the protective properties of some poisonous gases or warfare poisonous substances. A study performed examined the impact on the breakthrough times of different quantities of K2CO3 (2 mass.% – 8 mass. %) and ТЕDA in the capacity of additives to the impregnation composition of the standard ASC Whetlerite type and newly obtained carbons

Among the various methods for water purification and treatment from contaminated industrial pollutants, one of the most used is the adsorption methods based on activated carbons. The purpose of our study is to investigate the correlation between the porous texture and chemical nature of the surface and sorption capacity of the activated carbon, obtained based on lignite coal. The object of the study is also to determine its effectiveness as a sorbent for Cd-ions purification of contaminated industrial water. The obtained data from the conducted investigation show that the adsorbent based on such kind of activated carbon has good qualities for water purification from various pollutants and heavy metals
