Clinoptilolite zeolite was chemically modified with sodium, calcium, or magnesium to comparatively study the physical recovery of ammonium and phosphates from simulated blackwater.

Zeolites have been used in agriculture since the 1960s, due to effectiveness of these crystalline microporous solids as soil amendments for plant growth, their cation exchange capacity (CEC) and slow-release fertilizer properties. Most work on fertilizers has focused natural Clinoptilolite, Phillipsite Chabazite. The aim this study was synthesize clinoptilolite type zeolite-enriched amendments....

The kinetics of zinc and lead ions removal by modified zeolite-clinoptilolite has been investigated. The rate of the ion exchange process for lead ions is faster than for zinc ions, as well as the time needed to reach the equilibrium. The ion exchange capacity of zeolite of lead ions is doubly higher than that of zinc ions. Diffusion models according to the Vermeulen's approximation, the parabo...

In the research described in this paper, studied was sorption capacity of natural and ferric modification of zeolite tuff containing mineral clinoptilolite from the Nižný Hrabovec deposit to remove potentially toxic metals (ionic forms of chromium, nickel, copper and aluminium) from their water solutions. We reported that the Fe (III) zeolite has an enhanced ability to sorption of Cu (II), and ...

The preparation and properties of zeolite-containing oxide coatings obtained by plasma electrolytic oxidation are investigated discussed. Pure Ce-exchanged natural (clinoptilolite) synthetic (13X) zeolites immobilized on aluminum support from silicate-based electrolyte. Obtained characterized with respect to their morphology, phase chemical composition, photocatalytic activity anti-corrosion pr...

Natural minerals are widely used in treatment technologies as mineral fertilizer, food additive in animal husbandry, and cosmetics because they combine valuable ion-exchanging and adsorption properties together with unique physicochemical and medical properties. Saponite (saponite clay) of the Ukrainian Podillya refers to the class of bentonites, a subclass of layered magnesium silicate montmor...

Olive mill wastewater (OMW), a liquid by-product of the olive oil industry, represents a severe environmental problem owing to its high pollution load. In this study, successive columns containing different types of natural materials were investigated for their OMW treatment efficiency. Passing OMW through three columns of gravel, fine sand, and a mixture of acidified cotton and zeolite (weight...

this study deals with the uptake of cd2+ and  mn2+ ions from contaminated water using two iranian natural clinoptilolite-rich tuffs from meyaneh (z-m), and semnan (z-s) regions , and a synthetic zeolite-p from z-m sample (z-p) under static (batch operation) and dynamic (column operation) conditions. to investigate the selectivity of the zeolites toward cd2+ and mn2+ cations, the ion exchange is...

considering the point that the existence of heavy metals in the wastewater are so dangerous forthe environment and it would have many bad consequences for all the creatures including human beings, wemust try out the ways that make us capable of adsorbing these heavy metals. in order to accomplish this goal we should use a method called adsorbing. in this study the adsorption of copper ions in h...
