One of the main tasks of raising the technical level of highways, safety and environmental performance is timely and targeted collection and removal of water from the surface of roads and subsequent cleaning of pollution. In modern technologies of water purification processes of water filtering and filtering materials occupy the dominant position. The progressive environmental degradation of water bodies requires constant updating of filter elements, which include higher technological and environmental requirements. The new generation of modern filter materials include zeolites. In order to use the sorbents for the removal of oil, they are to be hydrophobic and, at the same time, absorbing oil well. As a result of comparative evaluation of sorption purification of waste water from the surface of roads, using zeolite and gravel mixture there was determined the efficiency of using alternative materials. The introduction of new methods of treatment using natural zeolites solves the problem of raising the technical level of highways, traffic safety and environmental performance.
