Abstract. The chemical and mineralogical composition of Shafirkan bentonite clay for the production of sorbents was studied. Microscopic studies of samples of bentonite clays were carried out using an MBS-10 optical microscope in transmitted and polarized light with an installed digital camera with a magnification factor of up to 600 s. The study of the phase composition of samples of bentonite clays of the Shafirkan deposit was carried out by the X-ray method of analysis.

Keywords: bentonite clay, bentonite, sorption, phase composition, wastewater treatment, sorbent.
