“…Synthetic sodalities can be produced from industrial waste fly ash [10,11] and kaolin [12,13] . There are many applications, where sodalites have been successfully utilized such as catalysts for hydrogenation reaction [14] , substrates for a photoluminescence material [15] and hollow mesoporous structure for drug release [16] .…”

“…Amongst several pollutants, mercury, owing to its toxicity, has turned into an pressing environmental problem. Several studies have been conducted on removal of elemental mercury (Hgº) from coal combustion flue gas and Hg 2+ from water, employing various physical and chemical methods, such as fiber-based and membrane bioreactors [22,23] , adsorption, catalytic [24] and thermal [25] methods, wet electrostatic precipitators [26] , vacuum ultraviolet light and heat co-activation method [27] , and bioremediation [28] . Among these methods the most popular, cost effective, and widely applied is adsorption by use of various porous, non-porous, functionalized and surface modified sorbents.…”

In this work, a novel silver-doped synthetic sodalitic composite was synthesized and characterized using advanced characterization methods, namely TEM-EDS, XRD, SEM, XRF, BET, zeta potential and particle size analysis. The synthesized nanocomposite was used for the removal of Hg 2+ from 10 ppm aqueous solutions of initial pH equal to 2. The results showed that the sodalitic nanocomposites removed up to 98.65% of Hg 2+ , which is approximately 16% and 70% higher than the removal achieved by sodalite and parent coal fly ash, respectively. The findings revealed that the Hg 2+ retention in nanocomposite microstructure is a multifaceted mechanism that predominantly involves adsorption, precipitation and Hg-Ag amalgamation. The study of the anions effect (Cl-, NO3-, C2H3O2and SO4 2-) indicated that the Hg 2+ uptake is comparatively higher when Clanions co-exist with Hg 2+ in the solution.
