Abstract [eng] In the Master thesis egg shell waste application opportunities were analyzed for lead ion adsorption from contaminated water. Aim of the thesis is to perform complex research and evaluation using organic waste (egg shells) as adsorbents to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. In the first chapter literature analysis for heavy metal sources, their effect to environment and possible methods for removing them from aqueous solutions is performed. In the second chapter multi–criteria decision analysis comparing methods like reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, adsorption, ion exchange and electrodyalisis is executed. In the third chapter preparation and methodology for adsorption parameter experiments is presented. In the fourth chapter the results for adsorption parameter experiments obtained are statistically processed and plotted graphically. At the end, the conclusions and recommendations as well as the author's publications are presented in the appendices. Thesis consists of 9 main parts: introduction, literature review, multi-criteria decision analysis part, methodological part, analysis of the results, conclusions, recommendations, references and appendices. Thesis volume: 72 pages without references and appendices, 34 figures, 21 tables, 78 references.
