This article is devoted to the theoretical and experimental research of quality improvement in oil products at adsorptive treatment by vermiculite sorbent. In the conditions of the territorial proximity of sources of sorbents and the importance of improving the quality of various petroleum products, it is actual in the future to create a treatment scheme that includes the stage of adsorption treatment with vermiculite. The purpose of this research on the current stage is the theoretical and experimental justification for qualitative changes in the properties of petroleum products obtained during adsorption treatment. In the course of the research, a complex study of the physico-chemical properties of the vermiculite of the Kulantau field (Kazakhstan) was carried out with reference to petroleum products obtained from high-sulfur low-viscosity oil. The results of the research proved that vermiculites with success can be used to separate any mixtures of molecules, of acceptable size and structure. Also, it can adsorb not only water, but also the products of oxidation of hydrocarbon, oxygen and other heterorganic compounds.
