In the modern world, there are practically no sources of clean water suitable for human consumption. As a result, at any enterprise in the food industry a number of sequential operations are carried out related to the purification of water necessary for the production of products. In all processes of processing dairy raw materials, water supply to enterprises is carried out from a public water supply network and / or from an artesian well. The article discusses the feasibility of using natural zeolites to ensure water safety. Research data of Kazakhstan zeolites of various deposits and their application in practice were studied.. As shown by the results of experimental studies, zeolites of the Taizhuzgen deposit significantly improve water quality. As a result of activation, the sorption ability of zeolite rises to 85-90%. Production tests of zeolites indicate the significant potential of this mineral raw material. Natural zeolites are cheap, resistant to mechanical wear and can be reused after regeneration. Studies have shown that Taizuzgen zeolite is a good sorption material and can be recommended in further studies with the aim of developing filters for water purification used in water treatment processes in the dairy industry.
