“…This modification using a surface active agent is a key technology for the application of raw zeolites in wastewater treatment (Leyva-Ramos et al, 2008;Zeng, Woo, Lee, & Park, 2010). Currently, many research studies have investigated these modified zeolite's adsorption performances with many dyes, such as reactive black 5, reactive red 239, reactive yellow 176, acid orange 8, and acid orange II (Ayşegul, Ozgur, Abdullah Zahid, & Mustafa, 2008;Benkli, Can, Turan, & Çelik, 2005;Jin, Jiang, Shan, Pei, & Chen, 2008;Dogan Karadag, 2007;Torres-Pérez, Solache-Ríos, & Olguín, 2007). However, few studies have been conducted regarding the removal of Rhodamine B in water using zeolites which have been modified by a surface active agent (Hayakawa, Dobashi, Miyamoto, & Satake, 1997;Hayakawa et al, 2000).…”
