Abstract: Adsorption of chloroorganic compounds bis(2-chloroisopropyl) ether and 1,2-dichloropropane from the waste water on active carbon A and synthetic adsorbents (Amberlite XAD-4, Amberosorbe XE-348) was examined. Amberlite XAD-4 shows the highest adsorptivity (10 g cm^-3) and dynamic adsorption (15 g dm^-3). Desorption by hot acetone allowed bed regeneration and concentrated (10-14 mass %) solution of bis(2-chloroisopropyl) ether and 1,2-dichloropropane was obtained.
