The sorption of divalent copper, natural sorbents of kaolinite and montmorillonite clays and carbon sorbent was studied on model solutions under static conditions. Quantitative characteristics of sorption process of copper ions were obtained. The degree of extraction of copper ions from solution was investigated, depending on the concentration of the initial solution and the weight ratio of the sorbent and volume of treated solution. The magnitude of sorption increases along with the increase in the volume of copper sulfate solution with a concentration of 0.02 M at a constant sample of sorbents. A higher carbon sorption capacity of the sorbent, in relation to ions of copper, was compared to kaolinite and montmorillonite clay. A higher sorption capacity of the carbon sorbent with respect to copper ions is established in the comparison with kaolinite and montmorillonite clay.
