Water sorption purification from ammonium pollution has been investigated. The sorption ability of natural clay sorbents has been characterized. The isotherms of ammonium ions adsorption by natural zeolites, palyhorskyties and glauconites were plotted. It was established that water purification from ammonium ions mainly corresponds to the model of surface diffusion at non-linear isotherm.
