Abstract

It has been shown quite recently that natural alumosilicates (clays and zeolites) have high adsorption activity towards water, organic acids, compounds containing sulphur, which are fuels and oils pollutions. Application of natural alumosilicates for this purpose is economically sound, because these minerals have ommensurable properties and are cheaper than synthetic adsorbents; besides, there are large deposits of these minerals in Ukraine.
