Abstract
The sorption behaviour of cobalt and cadmium by Mexican erionite was studied at different pH values and the ion exchange isothems were determined. Sorption experiments were performed with cobalt and cadmium solutions. The cobalt, cadmium and sodium content in the aluminosilicate samples were determined by neutron activation analysis. It was found that the sorption for cadmium was higher than for cobalt, however, the selectivity for both cations was low in this zeolite.
