Removal of heavy metals from waters by means of natural zeolites

The natural zeolite clinoptilolite can be used as an ion exchanger for the removal of ammonium ions from drinking waters. These waters may also contain small amounts of heavy metals. The retention possibilities of these cations by the ze...

Role of surface acidity in the adsorption of organic pollutants on the surface of carbon

In previous studies of adsorption on carbon, some adsorbents have displayed markedly larger adsorptive capacities than others, presumably due to differences in specific surface area as well as the nature of the carbon surface in each ins...
