The Trek Farley Winter Edition has a new Rack and Harness System

Previous Dispatch From Thu Mar 2, 2023

Wizard Works Launches AllBlack Collection for NZ Cyclone Relief

The new Trek Farley Winter Edition is kitted out with a complete rack system, custom frame bag, downtube fender, and slick rear rack harness system. Check it out here…

Trek turned heads in 2017 with the 1120, a 29+ adventure bike that came with a set of vibrant, unique racks for loaded adventures. It was (and still) is a promising option for bikepacking, but we’ve been waiting to see an update to the rear rack’s harness system. While the 1120 appears to be unchanged for 2023, the new Trek Farley Winter Edition (Farley 9) uses a similar rack system and an entirely new rear harness setup that looks more functional at first glance.

The new Trek Farley Winter Edition is a special version of their Farley fat bike platform but comes kitted out with their minimal front cradle, a burly looking rear rack, a bolt-on frame bag, downtube fender, and a new rear rack harness setup. It features an Alpha Platinum Aluminum frame with a tapered head tube, internal rear derailleur and dropper post routing, a threaded BB, and a 197x12mm rear dropout. For bikepacking provisions, it has mounts for a top tube bag, strapless full frame bag mounts, a downtube fender mount, lower downtube accessory mounts, and seat stay rear rack mounts. The fork is Trek’s Farley carbon model with a tapered alloy steerer, crown rack mounts, three-pack cage mounts on both legs, and a 150x15mm thru axle.

As far as the parts kit, it’s built up around a SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, SUNRingle Mulefut 80 SL rims, Bontrager Gnarwhal rubber, a TranzX dropper post, and four-piston SRAM Level brakes. The frame bag is size-specific, ranging from 3.8L to 5L, and the rear harness system holes up to 15L of gear. The total weight a complete medium build with tubes comes in at a hefty 40.35 pounds (18.3 kilograms).

Trek's Farley fat tire mountain bike gets major updates and is more capable than ever

Trek has given the Farley a new alloy frame, an updated carbon fork and has made all your luggage mounting dreams come true

Trek has launched the latest version of the Farley, that they say is its best fat tire mountain bike to date, featuring an all-new aluminum frame and carbon fork. Farley comes ready for mountain bike adventure, with 27.5 x 4.5-inch tires, tons of mounts, and new custom front and back racks that Trek say makes Farley an all-in-one adventure mountain bike capable of handling any terrain you throw at it from winter snow to sand and the deepest of mud.

The Farley has an expedition-oriented frame that comes in four different configurations, three with the new aluminum frame and one in carbon. That ranges from the entry model Farley 5 to the Farley 9.6, an OCLV Mountain Carbon race ready bike. OCLV is Trek's own patented carbon fiber process, which they say is its strongest and lightest carbon to date.

The range starts with the Farley 5 and features the new aluminum frame and carbon fork and is specced with a MicroShift Advent X 10-speed groupset and SRAM Level brakes. The Farley 7 also comes with the same frame but with an 80mm Manitou Mastodon suspension fork to smooth out the bumps on rougher terrain with SRAM GX Eagle and SRAM Level T brakes.

The Farley 9 has the rigid fork with the alloy frame and gets the upgraded SRAM Level TL brakes and uses the same GX Eagle groupset found on the 7.

The Carbon 9.6 again has SRAM GX Eagle groupset and the SRAM Level TL brakes with all frame options available as a frameset only option, that allows riders to spec and dream build their own adventure ride.

What else is new in the Trek Farley?

Trek say the new Farley is all about all-terrain, any-season exploration and it has received updated tube shaping to give a more modern look to the new alloy frames. The brand-new carbon fork has a shorter offset for improved handling and it also gives extra space for mounting a custom rack or cargo gear cages. There are mounts for the 1120 front rack as well as lower leg mounts for additional carrying capacity. 

If mounts are your thing, the Farley won't leave you short. It has plenty of mounting options with all-new top tube bag/box mounts, inside of the front triangle for custom strapless frame bag or bottle cages, downtube mounts for accessory cages or fenders with multiple positioning options and an updated rear rack mount with more secure attachment. 

Trek Farley geometry updates 

Geometry on Farley 9.6 stays the same as the previous model, except the fork offset and wheelbase are slightly shorter. Trek has said the 9.6 is its benchmark for the fastest and lightest fat mountain bike performance and that the other models had more room for improvement, with focus and resources directed to the new aluminum frame. 

Stand-out changes in the geometry for the new frames are a steeper seat tube angle (1-degree more at 74 degrees), a slacker head tube angle (-0.5-degree at 68.5 degrees, a shorter fork offset (from 51mm to 42mm) and a longer reach, now 461mm on the Large – which is around 20mm longer.

Farley frame details 

The horizontal sliding dropouts from the previous models are gone on the new alloy frames and replaced by a fixed rear-center length of 450mm (5mm shorter than previously) and uses the SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger). Trek believes that fat bike tire standards have leveled out and that most riders prefer to run 27.5 x 4.5-inch tires, so the need for a sliding dropout to accommodate new tire sizes is therefore no longer required. 

Other additions see internal routing for the dropper seatpost, a 100mm threaded BB, a maximum chainring size of 32t and there are no ISCG chain guide mounts.

Trek Farley pricing and availability

Trek says the new Farley models will be available by mid-March, with pricing starting from $2,199 / £2,130 / €2,299  on the Farley 5, Farley 7 $2,999 / £2,493 / €2,807, with Farley 9 $3,999 / £3,233 / €3,742, and the Carbon framed 9.6 at $3,699 / £3,525 / €3,799 in sizes S, M, L and XL.

Frames are also available separately in the same sizing, with the aluminum frameset priced at £1,390 / $1,499 / £1,390 / €1,499 and the carbon frame at $2,599 / £2,590 / €2,799.

2023 Trek Farley Alloy is Renewed for Expedition-Readiness

Trek has renewed its Farley Fat Bike with an all-new aluminum frame and carbon fork, both of which are better-prepared to carry your necessaries on long-haul bikepacking trips. Mounts galore and custom-designed front and rear racks, dry bag holders, and bolt-on front fenders, combined with its 27.5″ x 4.5″ tires and make it a worthy-companion for over-night missions in deepest winter.

2023 Trek Farley

Trek has given its aluminum fat bike, the Farley, a new aluminum frame for 2023. It sees a slacker geometry, a shorter offset carbon fork for improved handling, and more bosses to carry even more gear and equipment. The fork has mounts for Trek’s 1120 front rack as well as lower leg mounts for additional carrying capacity. The frame has lots of new mounts, including:

• Top tube mounts – for a bag/box
• Inside of the front triangle – for custom strapless frame bag or bottle cages
• Downtube mounts – for accessory cages or fender with multiple positioning options
• Updated rear rack mounts with more secure attachment

The new iteration goes without the sliding-dropouts of old that allowed for rear-center length adjustment, replaced by a fixed rear-center length of 450mm (5mm shorter than previously) with a SRAM UDH at the dropouts. The frame is optimized around 27.5″ x 4.5″ tires on 100mm rims (or 26″ x 5.0″). Trek tell us they believe the Fat Bike industry has settled on this tire size, so the adjustability is now no longer necessary. During the warmer months of the year, massive tires may not be warranted; in that regard, it is possible to run 29″ x 3.0″ tires, though this requires a custom wheel with a 197mm rear hub width.

The Farley Alloy frame also sees other geometry updates. The head angle is 0.5° slacker at 68.5°, the seat tube is 1° steeper at 74°, and the reach is around 20mm longer – now 461mm on the Large. The new carbon fork sees a shorter offset of 42mm (down from 51mm).

Some other important frame details:

• Post Mount Front & Rear for 160mm (Max Front is 210mm, Max Rear is 180mm
• 100mm Threaded BB
• Maximum Chainring Size is 32t
• Maximum A2C is 513mm (equivalent to 100mm travel 27.5″ fork)
• No ISCG Mounts
• Internal Routing for Dropper Seat Post

The 2023 Trek Farley Carbon frame remains unchanged in every way, but the Carbon 9.6 model is updated with the new shorter offset carbon fork.

Pricing & Availability

There are three complete builds of the 2023 Trek Farley Alloy to choose from with pricing starting at $2,199.99 USD for the Farley 5. Bikes will be available by the middle of March, by which time more information on these new Fat Bikes will be available on the Trek website.

Trek updates the farley fat bike with numerous mounts and refreshed geometry.

Trek has released its newest version of the Farley fat bike, featuring an all-new carbon fork, multiple mounting points for cargo capacity and slightly refreshed geometry. 

• Best mountain bikes 2023 - top options from cross-country to Enduro
• Mountain bike vs hybrid bike - understanding the differences
• Mountain biking on a budget - everything you need to know

Farley is a legend in fat bike circles, offering great trail tackling capability, a whopping 26x5.0in tyre clearance and now, also tons of cargo-carrying capacity. 

The all-new Farley incorporates an offset carbon fork that’s designed to save weight, improve handling, and provide extra real estate for mounting a custom rack or cargo cages. When paired with extra fat 27.5-inch x 4.5in tires, Trek says the Farley “claws through loose terrain with tons of grip and stability”. 

Trek has not only updated the componentry but also tweaked Farley's geometry to have one degree steeper seat tube angle, a half-a-degree slacker head tube angle, a 9mm shorter fork offset and a 20mm longer reach compared to the outgoing models. 

The 2023 Farley comes in four different configurations, the Farley 9, Farley 9.6, Farley 7 and Farley 5 - although only the 9 and 5 are available in the UK.  All of the Farleys come with SUNRingle Mulefut 80 SL rims with 32 spokes, Bontrager hubs, tyres and saddles .

Let’s take a closer look at what each model offers. 

Trek Farley 9.6

Starting off with the only carbon-framed Farley model, the Farley 9.6 is a carry-forward model from last season. It doesn’t have the added mounts of the aluminium frames, which Trek says is because it was easier to make the changes to the alloy frames. The 9.6 still has the new fork with the front rack, mudguard, and fork leg mounts, though. The 9.6 is made of Trek’s patented OCLV Mountain Carbon and the frame features a tapered head tube, internal derailleur & dropper post routing and 197x12mm adjustable horizontal sliding dropouts. The 9.6 runs with a 12-speed Sram Eagle GX groupset and retails for £3,525.

Trek Farley 9

Trek says the Farley 9 is a fully kitted “ bikepacking adventure beast”. It has an Alpha Platinum aluminium frame, tapered head tube and mounts, so many mounts, including top tube bag mounts, strapless full frame bag mounts, downtube mudguard mount, lower downtube accessory mount and seat stay rear rack mounts. There is also an internal rear derailleur and dropper post routing, threaded bottom bracket and universal derailleur hanger (UDH) on this bike. The groupset is a mix of SRAM, with GX Eagle shifters and rear derailleur and SRAM X1 1000 Eagle cranks. The Farley 9 is not available in the UK but retails for $3,999 across the pond. 

Trek Farley 7 and 5

The Farley 7 is also not available for the UK markets, so without getting too much into the details, what sets it apart is the 80mm Manitou Mastodon suspension fork.

Moving on to Farley 5 - Trek says this is “the starting point for building the dream adventure rig”. The Farley 5 features a dropper seat post and the same, copious mounting points as the 9. Shifting is handled by a 10-speed Microshift system, and brakes are Sram’s hydraulic disc brakes. The Farley 5 retails for £2,130. 

The new Farley models will be available starting in mid-March 2023 - although, as said above, it looks like only the 9.6 and 5 are available in the UK. For full details, check Trek’s website.

Trek’s Farley 7 Is an All-Season Fat Bike

A dropper post, suspension fork, and exceptional handling help this fat bike perform long after the snow melts.

The Takeaway: The Farley 7 is a fat bike built for all-season riding.

• Dropper post provides more control on downhills
• Suspension fork offers enhanced traction and control on hard surfaces
• Adjustable dropouts let the rider fine-tune the Farley's handling

Price: $2,600 Weight: 34.8 lb. (M)

When you hear the words “fat bike,” you likely picture a bundled-up rider atop massive tires traversing snow. But those fat tires, primarily designed to improve flotation over soft surfaces, can offer sure-footed traction on other types of surfaces, as well, and plow over and through obstacles that bog down many mountain bikes. Fat bikes are the ultimate no-road touring bikes. And though they may not be the first choice for shredding summer singletrack, with the right build and handling, they can be more than just a snow bike. Trek’s Farley 7 is the fat bike you don’t put away for the summer.

2020 Farley 7

The Farley Lineup

Trek’s Farley line currently consists of four complete bikes priced from $1,800 to $5,150. The line is split evenly between aluminum framed models (Farley 5 and Farley 7) and carbon (Farley 9.6 and Farley 9.8). You can also purchase the Farley as a frame only in either material—$1,000 for aluminum, $2,200 for carbon—both of which include a carbon rigid fork. For anyone who wants suspension at both ends, Trek also offers the 120mm-travel, carbon Farley EX frame, with a Fox Performance Float EVOL shock (front suspension is up to you). Geometry is almost the same in both materials (there are tiny differences), and all come in sizes small through extra large.

All Farley models roll on 27.5 wheels wrapped in 4.5-inch wide tires. Just like its dirt-focused cousins, a fat bike with larger wheels is faster because the wheels roll over things more smoothly, but bigger wheels are also heavier. Fat bikes on 26-inch wheels will be lighter and livelier, but the bigger-wheeled fat bikes will roll more efficiently.

The Farley 7 reviewed here is one of two models with a dropper post (the other is the $5,150 Farley 9.8) and the only model with a suspension fork—a Manitou Mastodon Comp with 80mm of travel, 34mm stanchions, and hydraulic lockout. Other specifications of note include tubeless-ready rims and tires, SRAM Eagle drivetrain with 11-50 cassette, and SRAM Level disc brakes.

If the 1x12 drivetrain isn’t for you, you can add a front derailleur.

Add studs to the Farley’s tires for better grip on slippery, icy surfaces.

Built for More Than Snow

The Farley comes built to ride all year long. On the front is a Manitou Mastodon suspension fork with 80mm of travel. This may seem like an unnecessary feature when the bike has 4.5-inch wide tires. But as cushy as the tires are, they don’t behave the same way as a good suspension fork. A suspension fork’s action is more damped than the basketball-like bounce of big tires. This damped and controlled action provides better traction and stability, particularly on harder surfaces and at higher speeds. If you’re using a fat bike only for riding slow(ish) on soft snow or sand, a suspension fork probably isn’t necessary. But if you like riding a fat bike on harder surfaces like dirt-covered and rocky trails, a suspension fork can be a huge benefit.

The dropper post is another feature that gives the Farley 7 increased versatility. Like the suspension fork, if your fat bike adventures are limited to cruising groomed and packed snow-covered roads and trails, a dropper post won't make a major difference. It’s when riding becomes faster and more technical that getting the seat out of the way so you can lower your center of gravity makes the biggest difference.

As a final nod to multi-season use, the Farley has adjustable dropouts which provide 15mm of chainstay length adjustment. They can be used to fine-tune the bike’s handling—longer, more stability; shorter, snappier feel—or to tension the chain if you want to run the Farley as a singlespeed.

How it Rides

True to the Farley 7’s multi-season build, testers rode it on dirt, sand, mud, and snow. Early on, one tester got rowdy on a rocky trail and dented the rim. We were able to pound out much of the dent, and the tubeless seal held for the remainder of the test period.

One of the first things that jumped out at testers was the riding position. With a few exceptions, the fat-bike category has yet to embrace the longer/slacker trend, and that's certainly the case with the Farley. A size medium’s reach is just 410mm—that’s several centimeters shorter than a modern trail bike in the same size. I’m on record as saying that longer and slacker isn’t always better, and I still believe that.

However, if you’re used to a modern mountain bike, the Farley will feel short when you first get on it. But that feeling fades the longer you spend time on the Farley, and some riders did comment that the shorter position helped offset some of a fat bike’s inherent sluggishness.

Still, at almost 35 pounds (set up tubeless), the Farley 7 is heavy, even for a fat bike—something all testers noticed. “Switching directions quickly, through switchbacks for example, is seriously tough. After long descents, I found my upper body and arms were on fire from having to muscle the bike around,” read one tester’s notes.

But if you’re able to get over the weight, the Farley 7 is a nice-riding, all-season fat bike. Though heavy, it’s geared low enough that it climbs reasonably well. And it corners very well on many surfaces as well. In higher-traction situations, the Farley’s bar wants to keep turning once a turn is initiated. All fat bikes do this to some degree, but on the Farley it was less pronounced than most and it required less-aggressive counter steering. This made the Farley’s handling more stable and predictable, which in turn made it easier to ride. Contributing to the good-handling vibes were the Farley’s Bontrager Gnarwhal tires, which got praise from testers for their superb cornering and braking traction in all conditions. Testers also called them out for excellent flotation in soft snow.

Though testers were pretty “meh” on the benefit of a suspension fork for soft snow, they all agreed that it became a huge bonus when riding on firmer ground. The Manitou Mastodon performed well too, and proved reliable and consistent across a wide range of temperatures.

The TranzX dropper post worked well throughout testing also. Most testers found it more beneficial when riding on firmer ground and faster trails. However, some testers did note its benefits for riding in deep snow: “If you come off in those conditions, it’s very difficult to get back on, as your feet sink into the unpacked powder off the sides of the trail. This positions your feet lower than the tires and the packed singletrack, so it’s really hard to get your butt back on the saddle. [If] you have a dropper, problem solved.”

Overall, testers found the Farley 7 was a good fat bike for snow riding. But in these conditions, the bike didn’t stand apart from many other good fat bikes. It is the Farley’s performance away from the snow, as well as its overall versatility, that testers really appreciated. The Farley 7 is better in more conditions, handles better at more speeds, and is more capable than the typical fat bike. It’s a fat bike you’ll continue to ride long after the snow melts.

A gear editor for his entire career, Matt’s journey to becoming a leading cycling tech journalist started in 1995, and he’s been at it ever since; likely riding more cycling equipment than anyone on the planet along the way. Previous to his time with Bicycling , Matt worked in bike shops as a service manager, mechanic, and sales person. Based in Durango, Colorado, he enjoys riding and testing any and all kinds of bikes, so you’re just as likely to see him on a road bike dressed in Lycra at a Tuesday night worlds ride as you are to find him dressed in a full face helmet and pads riding a bike park on an enduro bike. He doesn’t race often, but he’s game for anything; having entered road races, criteriums, trials competitions, dual slalom, downhill races, enduros, stage races, short track, time trials, and gran fondos.

Trek’s Farley Fat Bike: Fast, Fun And Fabulous

When fatbikes first came out, I didn't pay too much attention.  I got a nice short ride on one every so often and many of my friends bought and loved them, some dumping all their other bikes just for their fattie. But I mostly ignored the category. 

Fatbikes are mountain biking's fastest growing segment and retailers (happily) can't keep them in stock, people are going nuts for them. They've matured far beyond their sand and snow cruiser beginnings to become legitimate trail weapons. So it's time... the Trek Farley would be my first long-term test in the category. 

In terms of the name, “Farley” sounds like something that might be heavy and goofy. Like most cyclists, I favor slick and light. But  Trek’s Farley 9.8 would be all that I favor, and more.

Components and Specs

• Raceface Next carbon SL cranks
• 1x11 Sram XO drivetrain
• 27.5 Wampa wheels (197mm rear hub)
• Bontrager Hodag 3.8 tires
• Bontrager carbon seatpost 
• Mountain OCLV carbon frame and fork
• Bontrager carbon handlebar
• Avid Guide brakes
• Stranglehold rear dropouts 

With a matte finish, red logo, and carbon pretty much everywhere (frame, fork, steerer tube, cranks, wheels, handlebars, seatpost, saddle), the Farley 9.8 is one badass bike. It weighs in at just 25 pounds. 25 pounds. Closing in on XC bike weight. And it looks every bit that fast.

The 3.8” Hodag tires roll fast and corner well (3.8” is the minimum tire width for racing in the fatbike category). The Farley is fully rigid, so there’s great power transfer and no suspension pressures to figure out. Which is quite refreshing.

Fit and finish on the bike are really slick without any odd OEM parts marriages or head scratching design elements. It looks lean and fast. 

How The Farley 9.8 Rides

1st ride. woohoo.

Topping off Farley 9.8's light weight and general sexiness are awesome SRAM Guide brakes, killer traction, carbon vibration damping, and 15/20mm of tire plushness. Hard tails can ride like a two-hour jackhammer colonoscopy, but not Farley. It's downright cushy feeling. The rollover is stellar, thanks to 27.5” wheels plus the extra height of a fat tire. 

And it doesn't wallow, it offers a wonderful combination of smooth and snappy. Just be prepared to stay active; riding the Farley means spending more time out of the saddle than in. Not because you have to, because you'll want to.

RELATED: The top 6 trends in mountain bike gear for 2016

There’s a silver lining to the East Coast’s non-winter winter; you can put in 4 months on singletrack. Farley rewards good trail technique. True of most bikes, but the frame and wheel's torsional stiffness makes the Farley respond quickly and accurately to pedaling and steering input. Keep your butt off the saddle, your body loose and active, your elbows and knees out, and you’ll be golden. The Farley is an EXCELLENT trail bike. Body English is your friend. 

I also dig how you never have to avoid stuff. The Farley 9.8 thrives on the roughest-looking rubble. You’ll purposefully aim for rocky spines and gnarly gardens, because the tires grab the rocks like hand-holds on a creamy 5.4. 

You’ll also like not having to drop your saddle 5 inches to get it out of your way as on a Monster Enduro bike. Just set the rigid seatpost at or below XC level, and you’ll be good to go. Or slap a dropper on. The lever fits in on the left side of the clean cockpit. I put on one for the heck of it.

The bike's "stranglehold" rear dropout allows you to shorten or lengthen the effective chainstay, though I never saw the need for a longer wheelbase; the bike felt planted and playful right off the bat. 

The Farley’s simplicity is refreshing. I appreciated rolling it out of the garage ride after ride and not having a whole bunch of stuff to fiddle with. Just check the tire pressure, and go. There isn’t even a front derailleur to mess with. Over this winter I had a stash of bikes to demo, but I always reverted to the Farley. I had light. I had fast. I had grip. I had sexy. Why pick anything else?

The Bottom Line, Snow Included

I only rode snow a handful of times, enough to see the Farley’s capability in that milieu. One of my best experiences was riding on a melty day with 50/50 snow/dirt terrain. It's zips across changing surfaces with speed and aplomb. If you’re a Minnesota/Michigan steel-frame 5" tire hardguy grinder, this bike may not be your jam. But if you like to race fatbikes, this is your ticket. Farley accelerates fast and it’s zippy through corners. 

The SRAM drivetrain performed perfectly throughout the test.Dirt, wet, slop all had no effect.

The world has gone nuts for fatbikes (there’s even a fatbike category in the 75-mile road race NY Grand Fondo for crying out loud), but the million dollar question is: can the Farley be your one and only bike? My answer: Hell yes! It’s fast, handles trail like a boss, and power transfer pushing the cranks is nothing short of incredible. I was sorry to see it go. 

The Trek Farley has pricing options ranging from a  $1,729 base build with an alloy frame up to the top-spec'ed  $4,799 model I tested here.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
