abstract = "Finding the raw material which can be used as adsorbent of heavy metals from water solution without any modification would be beneficial for solving the capital issue of water pollution. Heavy metal water pollution is a problem of almost every single country, so in the near future huge amounts of adsorbents would be needed to reduce the level of water pollutants. Considering this fact it is necessary to find available, abundant and cheap raw material which can be utilized as adsorbent as is or with minor processing. A plenty of mineral raw material fulfil all requirements of the potential cheap adsorbent. Aim of this paper is to determine potential of volcanic rock found in Etna valley as an adsorbent of heavy metals in anionic form (chromates, arsenates and selenates). Characterization of the volcanic rock was done with chetnical methods (AAS, AES, gravimetric analysis, XRF) and physicochetnical methods (XRD, FTIR, SEM). Also maximal adsorption capacity was determined. All the results of adsorption capacity were satisfying considering the mineral composition, granulation and porosity.",
