ABSTRACT: Active carbon, that can be used in the adsorption cleaning of water environments from pollutants of various composition, was produced. Apricot pit shells were charged into the carbonizing stove, where the process was carried out at a temperature of 700 оC with nitrogen purging during 2 hours. Then, the carbonated product was placed into the activation furnace. The thermal activation was carried out in the flow of СO2 and H2O in the mass ratio 85:15 at a temperature of  800 °С during one hour. The paper presents characteristics of the produced active carbon. Moisture content, total porousness, mesopore, micropore and macropore volume, high brightening ability by methylene blue of the active carbon were determined.
