Use of Natural Clinoptilolite to Improve Water Quality: Sorption and Selectivity Studies of Lead(II), Copper(II), Zinc(II), and Nickel(II)

Abstract: Natural clinoptilolite can be used as an ion exchanger for removal of heavy metals and treatment of environmental pollution because of its desirable characteristics of high ion exchange selectivity and resistance to different media.In this work, the potential of natural clinoptilolite from Gördes mines (West Anatolia, Turkey) for the uptake of lead(II), nickel(II), copper(II), and zinc(II), from their single and mixed ion solutions, was evaluated using the batch method. The mineralogical and chemical propertie… Show more

“…2. Mineral performance was higher for Pb(II) compared to Zn(II) in all liquid media, which also agrees with previous findings [5,8,9,29]. Table 3 compares the amount of lead and zinc adsorbed on zeolite in this work with the adsorption capacities of minerals (i.e.…”

“…Table 3 compares the amount of lead and zinc adsorbed on zeolite in this work with the adsorption capacities of minerals (i.e. zeolite, vermiculite, bentonite and kaolinite) reported in the literature for lead and zinc removal [5,[7][8][9][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. The zeolite used in the present study exhibited higher [33,37,42,46] or comparable [38,40] performance for Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal compared to that of several cases reported in the literature.…”

“…11,12 The effect of converting the zeolite initially to a homoionic form for the removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater has been studied by many authors. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] These authors pointed out that zeolite in homoionic forms exhibits a significantly increased ability to remove heavy metals from wastewater. NaCl is most often used as the pretreatment agent.…”

“…In order to meet increasingly stringent Environmental Quality Criteria (EQC) clinoptilolites are widely applied for heavy metals removing from polluted streams and wastewater [4,19,[32][33][34][35][36][37] and for the elimination of gas pollutants in confinement facilities [7,10]. Besides, this mineral has widespread applications in agriculture [1,2].…”
