Numerous data on the negative impact of pollutants on the environment indicate the necessity of industrial and sewage water treatment. This problem is actual in the territories of the tailings dams situated in the Kemerovo Region (Ursk and Komsomolsk tailings sites, Russia). In these tailings sites, the main source of pollution is the mine drainages containing copper, zinc, arsenic, and antimony. In the absence of reliable protective devices, pollutants can enter to the soil, surface and groundwater, having a significant impact on the environment. The problem of treatment of contaminated surface and groundwater has global scale and is very relevant. Adsorption with the use of natural inorganic materials has become one of the effective methods for removal of contaminants from water.
