Ivanov*, Nadezhda M. Mikova, Maxim A. Lutoshkin, Niкolay V. Chesnokov and Boris N. Kuznetsov Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technology SB RAS FRC “Krasnoyarsk Science Center SB RAS” 50/24 Akademgorodok, Krasnoyarsk, 660036, Russia Received 13.01.2017, received in revised form 27.03.2017, accepted 18.07.2017 Synthesis of nanoporous carbon materials (NСMs) from lignin of fir wood in the presence of potassium hydroxide was carried out by varying the carbonization conditions at 800 °С . Using the methods of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and scanning electron microscopy, the influence of conditions of lignin carbonization on the formation of a porous structure of the NСMs was studied. The obtained samples of NСMs, have specific surface area up to 3157 m 2 /g, pore volume up to 1.92 cm 3 /g, fraction of micropores up to 92.2 rel. %, average pore size of 1.88–2.43 nm and have a high sorption capacity for benzene (up to 1.41 g/g). Keywords: ethanol lignin, alkaline lignin, alkaline thermal activation, nanoporous carbon material, properties. DOI: 10.17516/1998-2836-0035. © Siberian Federal University.
