The results of a study on the adsorption of oil products and heavy metal ions by modified zeolites from industrial wastewater are presented. As a modifier of zeolites of the Holinsky deposit, a sulfur polymer is proposed that is obtained from waste during the production of epichlorohydrin, the main components of which is 1,2,3-trichloropropane. The mechanisms of adsorption and the results of investigations by the methods of infra-red pectroscopy and energy differential X-ray spectroscopy of the initial samples of materials are described in detail. On the Irspectres new absorption bands are considered. These bands reflect the nature of fixation of modifier on the surface of sorbent. Also the results of original investigations of the thermodynamic laws of sorption extraction of Ni2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ from wastewater are presented. The limiting parameters of the adsorption process are described by the Langmuir equation. The graphical method the limiting value of adsorption, the adsorption equilibrium constant, the differential heat of adsorption, the adsorption rate constant, the activation energy, the Gibbs energy was founded. It is proved that the investigated processes obey the laws of physical adsorption and are spontaneous.
