“…The acid solution, in turn, can effectively interfere in the cationic exchange process, as H + competes with other cations in solution for the minerals exchange sites, as in vermiculite. Shinzato et al (2020) observed that the acidic solutions affected more vermiculite than zeolite in the adsorption of NH 4 + . They found that maximum NH 4 + adsorption occurred at pH 5 for zeolite and pH 7 for vermiculite.…”

Mechanisms of Cr(VI) reduction by Fe(II) modi ed zeolite and vermiculite were evaluated. Adsorbents were treated with Fe(SO 4 ).7H 2 O to saturate their exchange sites with Fe(II). Vermiculite (V-Fe) adsorbed more Fe(II) (21.8 mg g −1 ) than zeolite (Z-Fe) (15.1 mg g −1 ). Z-Fe and V-Fe were used to remove Cr(VI) from the solution by batch test to evaluate the effect of contact time and Cr(VI) initial concentration. Cr(VI) was 100% reduced to Cr(III) by Z-Fe and V-Fe from solution with 18 mg L −1 Cr(VI) in 1 minute. Considering that 3 moles Fe(II) are required to reduce 1 mole Cr(VI) (3Fe +2 + Cr +6 → 3Fe 3+ + Cr +3 ), the iron content released from Z-Fe and V-Fe were su cient to reduce 100% of Cr(VI) in solution by up to 46.8 mg L −1 Cr(VI), and about 90% (V-Fe) and 95% (Z-Fe) in solution with 95.3 mg L −1 Cr(VI). The assess of the Fe(II), Cr(III), Cr(VI), and K + contents of the adsorbents and solutions after batch tests indicated that K + ions from K Cr O solution were the main cation adsorbed by Z-Fe, while vermiculite did not absorb any of these cations. The H + of the acidic solution (pH around 5) may have been adsorbed by V-Fe.Therefore, the release of Fe(II) from Z-Fe and V-Fe involved cation exchange between, respectively, K + and H + ions from solution. The reduction of Cr(VI) by Fe(II) caused the precipitation of Cr(III) and Fe(III), and the decrease of pH of the solution to < 5. As acidity limits the precipitation of Cr(III) ions, they remained in solution and were not adsorbed by both adsorbents (since they prefer to adsorb K + and H + ). To avoid oxidation, Cr(III) can be removed by precipitation or adsorption by untreated minerals.

“…Adsorption can also be expensive, depending on the type of adsorbent (Maronezi et al 2019;Singh 2020). However, minerals with large speci c surface and high ion exchange capacity, such as zeolites and vermiculite, are low-cost options with good performance in pollutant removal (Shinzato et al 2020).…”

“…Precision agriculture is a new system in desert facility agriculture. The desert characteristics of massive evaporation and minimal agricultural materials birthed the development of facility agriculture which combines and precisely controls low-cost substrates with high water and fertilizer conservation [3]. Natural, inorganic, and non-toxic vermiculite ore expansion produces vermiculite substrate, which provides the nutrients and water necessary for long-term plant growth and effectively promotes crop root growth and stable seedling development.…”

Fast and precise estimation of the available nitrogen content in vermiculite substrates promotes prescription fertilization in desert facility agriculture. This study explored near-infrared spectroscopy for rapid detection of the available nitrogen content in vermiculite substrates in desert facility agriculture. The spectra of vermiculite matrices with different available nitrogen contents were collected through a self-assembled near-infrared spectrometer. Partial least squares expression (PLSR) established the available nitrogen spectrum prediction model optimized using different pretreatments. After pretreatment, the prediction model of the available nitrogen spectrum was simplified by adopting three feature extraction methods. A comprehensive comparison of the results of each prediction model showed that the prediction model combining the first derivative with SG smoothing pretreatment was the best. The correlation coefficients of the corresponding calibration and prediction sets were 0.9972 and 0.9968, respectively. The root mean square errors of the calibration and prediction sets were 149.98 and 159.65 mg/kg, respectively, with 12.57 RPD. These results provide a feasible method for rapidly detecting the available nitrogen content of vermiculite substrates in desert facility agriculture.

“…The preferable minerals for such applications are the zeolites (Moussavi et al, 2011; Rožić et al, 2000; Shinzato et al, 2020; Wu et al, 2018) and the clay minerals (Alshameri et al, 2018) due to their specific properties, high adsorption capacity, high availability all over the world, and low cost (Bekiari et al, 2017). The clay minerals that have been tested until now for the ammonium–wastewater treatment are kaolinite (Alshameri et al, 2018; El‐Shafey et al, 2014), halloysite (Alshameri et al, 2018; Bekiari et al, 2017), clay minerals from smectite group (Alshameri et al, 2018; Angar et al, 2017; Zadinelo et al, 2015), vermiculite (Alshameri et al, 2018; Lv et al, 2013; Shinzato et al, 2020), as well as fibrous clay minerals (Alshameri et al, 2018; Balci, 2004; Fei et al, 2012; Ji et al, 2011; Lv et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2014; Zhongwei et al, 2015). The ammonium‐adsorption capacities were decreased in the order of Vermiculite > Montmorillonite > Palygorskite > Sepiolite > Kaolinite > Halloysite, with maximum adsorption capacities under neutral pH conditions (pH = 7) and dosage of 0.3 g/25 ml within 30 min (Alshameri et al, 2018).…”

“…One of the most promising methods is the ion exchange by the use of minerals as adsorbents on a solid substrate, due to the low energy input, the easy technology (Zheng & Wang, 2010), the economic, and the environmental sustainability (Bekiari et al, 2017; Gefenienė et al, 2006; Marañón et al, 2006; Moussavi et al, 2011).

Raw palygorskite (Pal) samples went under acid (H‐Pal), NaCl (Na‐Pal), and CaCl2 treatment (Ca‐Pal) in order to be examined as ammonium (NH4+) sorbents from aqueous solutions. The samples were characterized by XRD and FT‐IR techniques to examine potential structural differences after modifications, and batch kinetic experiment series were applied to determine the optimal conditions for NH4+ removal. According to thermodynamic analysis, the removal reaction for sodium‐ and calcium‐treated samples was endothermic (ΔΗ0 > 0, 1.65 kJ/mol and 24.66 kJ/mol, respectively), in contrast with the exothermic reactions of raw and acidic‐treated palygorskite samples (ΔΗ0 < 0, −37.18 kJ/mol and −27.56 kJ/mol respectively). Moreover, each sample presented a different order of sorbed ions preference, whereas the strong affinity for Ca2+ sorption was common in all cases since the NH4+ removal inhibited. Nevertheless, a similar pattern was followed for raw and modified samples at isotherm study, rendering the linear form of Freundlich isotherm to express better the NH4+ sorption on palygorskite sample, indicating that it is a heterogeneous procedure. In all cases, the NH4+ maximum uptake was within 15 min using 8 g/L of each sorbent, especially for the Na‐Pal sample, which could reach almost 100% removal of low concentration NH4+. Practitioner Points Modified palygorskite samples were tested for NH4+ removal from aqueous solutions. NaCl‐treated palygorskite had the higher removal efficiency, which could reach almost 100% removal of low concentration NH4+. NH4+ maximum uptake was within 15 minutes using 8 g/L of each sorbent. NH4+ adsorption was an endothermic reaction for NaCl‐ and CaCl2‐treated palygorskite sorbents. NH4+ adsorption was an exothermic reaction for raw and acid‐treated palygorskite sorbents.
