The extraction efficiency value for Co2+is observed highest forMordenite at a concentration of 50 mg/l. ... Present results suggest that natural zeolites can be removed heavy metal ...
Abstract. In this study, the adsorption behavior of Cu 2+, Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ from synthetic metal solutions using natural zeolites was studied in order to investigate the efficiency of adsorbents of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. The kinetic study indicated the suitability of the zeolite for the removal of Cu 2+, Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ ions from synthetic …
According to the Q (mmol/kg) parameter, sorption on zeolite is produced following the sequence Co2+ > Cu2+ > Zn2+ > Mn2+ . Zeolites, in general, are weakly acidic in nature and sodium-form exchangers are selective for hydrogen (R–Na+ H2 O ⇔ RH + Na+ + OH− ), which leads to high pH values when the exchanger is equilibrated with relatively ...
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and temperature swing adsorption are potential techniques for removing CO 2 from high-pressure fuel gas streams. Natural zeolites are …
Zeolites are naturally occurring or synthesized alumino-silicate minerals characterized by uniform microporosity and high crystallinity [6]. Zeolites owe specific properties to their three-dimensional TO 4 tetrahedral framework structure (T is Al or Si in a natural zeolite), connected with each other by sharing corner oxygen atoms [7].
Because zeolite has high adsorption capacity for pollutants, Jacobs and Förstner [17] proposed the possible use of natural and modified zeolites for capping contaminated …
The adsorption mechanism of Cd, Fe, and Ni, ions on natural (clinoptilolite) zeolites, a regional low-cost natural available adsorbent was studied in a batch adsorption system. The effect of several parameters such as contact time, zeolite dose, particle size, the effect of pH, and initial concentration of metal ions in the adsorption process ...
This paper investigates Zn2+ adsorption characteristics of two natural zeolites found in the regions of Gordes and Bigadic, in western Turkey. The results show that the Zn2+ adsorption behaviour of both zeolites is highly dependent on the pH. Adsorption dependence on …
Natural zeolites have received much attention due to their excellent adsorption behavior and capability to remove cations and trace quantities of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions via ion exchange process [13].They are a family of crystalline aluminosilicates with a framework structure built from tetrahedral building blocks, each of which contains four oxygen …
Herein, we present the ability of natural zeolites from the Philippines to adsorb heavy metal (As5+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Pb2+ and Zn2+) ions for the first time.
Natural zeolites are good potential material for water and wastewater treatment. It is due to the advantages of low cost, ion-exchange and adsorption capability of the natural zeolites. ...

The observed increased selectivity for Pb vs. Na is comm o n and is reported in m a n y synthetic and natural zeolites including zeolites X and Y, zeolite A, clinoptilolite, and mordenite (Wiers et al., 1982; Blanchard et al., 1984). The reverse exchange reaction is considerably slower and displays a limited but noticeable hysteresis (Figure 4).
In nature, these are most often sodium and potassium cations, but they can be e.g. Ca 2+, Mg 2+ and Zn 2+ [5, 6]. Thanks to these properties, zeolites have found application in many branches of chemistry.
