Abstract
In conditions of intensive development of industrial and agricultural production, measures aimed at protecting the hydrosphere from harmful substances are becoming increasingly important every year. Water purification using the sorption method and water treatment is one of the most common technological processes. Almost unlimited reserves of sorbents of natural origin, their low cost, and fairly high adsorption and ion-exchange properties make their use advisable. Sorbents developed on the basis of available secondary plant raw materials show high efficiency and open up the possibility of their practical use in solving environmental problems. New sorbents based on plant raw materials have been developed, their structure and morphology have been studied in order to identify the absorption capacity and effectiveness of use as oil sorbents. Studies of the kinetics and dynamics sorption of oil pollutants confirm the effectiveness of mentioned sorbents and sorption purification technology can be used for environmental monitoring of water bodies.
