the capacity of natural zeolites to absorb anionic pollutants from water is limited. this limitation can be overcome by modifying the surface of the minerals with organic cations. in this research, natural zeolite, analcime was used for removing the nitrate and nitrite impurities from aqueous solutions. the surface of the zeolite was modified by tetramethylammonium and tetraethylammonium ions t...

Experiments were conducted to study the ability of surfactant-modified clinoptilolite for molybdate adsorption from aqueous solutions. Clinoptilolite was treated with some cationic surfactants. Adsorption of surfactants on zeolite surface was confirmed by chemical analysis, IR (Infra-Red Spectroscopy), DTG (Derivative Thermogravimetry) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) techniques. The modi...

besides human dental and skeletal fluorosis, drinking water above permissible levels of fluoride is known to cause a wide range of adverse health effects. in this study, the adsorption of fluoride from aqueous solution onto pretreated zeolite has been studied by using batch test. the large surface area of natural zeolite (i. e., clinoptilolite from miyaneh region, iran) was utilized to create a...

The ability of natural clinoptilolite and its modified forms were studied for removal of PAHs from n-paraffin. Surfactant modified zeolite (SMZ) was obtained by modifying clinoptilolite with hexadecyltrimethylammonium ion. Homoionic forms of zeolite were obtained by ion exchange process using inorganic salts of desirable cations (e.g. Ag+, Fe3+…). Nat...

the purpose of this study was to find a relatively inexpensive method for removal of arsenate and arsenite from drinking water. the capability of iranian natural clinoptilolites, relevant synthetic zeolites a and p and iron(п) modified of them was investigated for the uptake of arsenic anions from drinking water. data obtained from ion-exchange using batch (static) technique showed that among t...
