The physico-chemical characteristics of type MAU active carbon manufactured with the use of the mycelial waste of tetracycline production and carbon residue are presented. Granulated active carbon MAU-5 was tested under laboratory conditions at the stage of the treatment of the antibiotic production waste. For the manufacture of the granulated active carbon the mycelial waste with the moisture content of 8 per cent and the carbon residue of weared tyres were used. The same as active carbon BAU it is useful in the sorption treatment of sewage.
