Conclusions

  1. 1.

    It was found experimentally that the natural mineral brucite has anomalously high sorption properties in relation to ions of heavy metals in an aqueous medium.

  2. 2.

    A comparative evaluation of the sorption properties of brucite and well-known natural zeolites demonstrates the clear technological advantages of brucite.

  3. 3.

    This article is intended to be the first of a series of reports on a new class of natural sorbents. Detailed and comprehensive study of these materials will help clarify the main features of the mechanism of sorption on natural sorbents and significantly broaden the range of practical application of brucite as an active sorbent in technologies developed for the purification of natural and process water.
