Abstract

The problems concerning the application of natural zeolite of the Khonguruu deposit (Yakutia) to the sorption purification of oil-containing waste water are considered. Physicochemical and sorption properties of the zeolite are described. It is shown that khongurin can be used for the extraction of both molecularly dissolved and emulsified oil products. The curves of filtration of oil-containing natural sorbent are reported. The application of khongurin in water preparation processes and in waste water purification from oil products seems to be reasonable because of its large resources and low cost.
