ABSTRACT
There are no doubts that sorption materials have wide perspectives of application in contemporary complex systems of water treatment. The main problem of the technological systems is to work out ecologically safe technologies with minimal amounts of wastes. The researches are focused on the improvement of existing materials and development of new ones of high sorption efficiency. One of the solutions leading to achievement of proper materials is the development of methods of controlled synthesis of particles with presumed desirable characteristics. Physical and chemical characteristics of the metal sulfides, iron oxides, and manganese oxyhydroxide allow their application as sorbents. They may be used for heavy metals and radionuclides uptake from wastewater practically down to any residual concentration at pH above 5. The controlled inorganic synthesis allows forming of sorbents particles with certain morphological characteristics, which effects with increase of sorption capacity even several times.
