“…SMZ, i.e. zeolite with positive surface charge after its surface modification with a surfactant substance, has been proven effective adsorbent for many anions, such as ΝΟ 3 -, SO 4 2- (Li et al, 1998), CrO 4 2- (Haggerty & Bowman, 1994;Li, 2004), Η 2 AsO 4 -and ΗAsO 4 2- (Li et al, 2007), ClO 4 - (Zhang et al, 2007), HSeO 3 -and SeO 4 2- (Frenay et al, 2000). Since SMZ has been proven an effective adsorbent for many anions it could be also useful for removing B from water through adsorption.…”
