The changes in the radical concentration and the development of the po
rous structure of the activated carbon obtained by pyrolysis in the pr
esence of water vapor of various agricultural by-products are investig
ated by EPR spectroscopy and argon thermal desorption. It was found th
at they depend on the nature of the raw material and the final tempera
ture of the process. A similarity was established between the dynamics
of the change in radical concentration and the development of new sur
faces of some of the activated carbons.
