Mineral mining and processing activities result in highly toxic arsenic-bearing waste water discharged in natural water bodies. The promising methods of arsenic removal from waste water use adsorption at natural sorbents and oxidizers. The tests of arsenic removal by adsorption at magnesium- and manganese-bearing minerals show that the use of these natural raw materials can greatly enhance efficiency of the environmental activities in the mining and processing industry.
