Constantly growing industry necessitates the development of more effective methods to protect the environment against waste in the form of metal ions. Among many methods used to purify the environment from damaging substances a very attractive and efficient method is adsorption. In this work the adsorption properties of porous glass were investigated. In order to determine the time of saturation of the porous bed simulations have been made, intended to provide a time after which the bed is saturated in 5%, 95%, and the designation time, when the solution concentration at the outflow of the bed is greater than 10ppm. Simulation begins with the introduction of conditions and values necessary for adsorption simulation, such as the Langmuir constant.
