The results of investigations of the adsorption properties of fullerenes are presented. Fullerenes acting as adsorbents are compared with soot and activated carbon. From its adsorption properties, soot is similar to activated carbon. Fullerenes do not manifest themselves in the composition of soot material. As an independent adsorbent, fullerenes are considerably more effective than activated carbon. Possible mechanisms of fullerene adsorption are discussed. It is concluded that the adsorptivity of fullerenes is realized mainly through dispersion interactions. Certain theoretical estimates are presented.
