Abstract

The role of geological conditions in the European part of Southern Russia was specified as a factor
that formed the Quaternary and Neogene complex of subaerial dispersion rocks. From the geoecological perspective, they can be considered as sources of man-made impact on the geological environment. An important
indicator of the ecological status of the territory is the pollution of rock and groundwater, which depends on
physical and chemical properties of dispersed ground rock, composing the soil strata. The level and nature of
such pollution depend on physical and chemical properties of dispersion rocks that were studied by means of
experimental laboratory modeling using chemical, spectral, emission and atomic adsorption methods. The
adsorption properties of dispersed rocks lying at different depths were investigated. The dependence between
the number of plasticity and the number of heavy metals sorbed from experimental solutions was revealed by
modeling mass transfer processes in dispersed rocks.
