“…It is reported that zeolite [6,7], montmorillonite [8,9], rectorite [10,11], diatomite [12,13] and other mineral materials can treat wastewater by adsorption, ion exchange, precipitation and surface complexation because of their excellent surface characteristics and ion adsorption and exchange performance. As the mineral materials have the advantages of wide sources, low cost, simple process, easy use and no regeneration, mineral materials of novel environmental functions will have a great scientific, social and economic significance.…”
