The main purpose of this paper was to assess the effectiveness of the removal of biogenic compounds, NH₄⁺, NO₃^-, PO₄^3- from single-component solutions (with concentrations ranging from 0.3-16.7 mmol / dm³) and ternary solution (with a total concentration of three of ions 0.9-50.1 mmol/dm³). In the research the Romanico (M) metakaolin was used as well as a product of modification of metakaolin containg zeolites (M2, M3). Sorption experiments were conducted under static conditions. In equilibrium solutions the concentrations of NH₄+, NO₃^-, PO₄^3- were determined by colorimetric method using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The M2 was the most effective in the removal of nutrients in both solutions (single-component and ternary). This is mainly due to the larger specific surface area (BET) of M2 material (328.2 m^2/g) than the material M (13.2 m²/g). Modification of the material M has resulted in increased removal efficiency of nutrients. In most (about 90%) efficiency NH₄⁺ ions (from either single-component and ternary solutions) were removed. With a large (about 50%) efficiency PO₄^3- ions (from either single-component and ternary solutions) were removed. In the lowest (10%) efficiency the NO₃^- ions from the single-component solution were removed and with more than 30% efficiency the ternary solution were removed.
