Abstract

Aqueous pollutants of cesium, iodide, lead, zinc and chromate ions adsorbed on natural and Ag+(Pb2+) – or NH4+- exchanged clinoptilolite together with surfactant hydrophobized, Ca-alginate pelletized as well as MnOx – and FeO(OH) – clinoptilolites compared with the inland montmorillonite were assessed. The investigations of zeolites (clinoptilolite type) for the removal of various kinds of aqueous pollutants incl. radioactive ones lead to the conclusion that this natural resource can be considered for an alternative cost-effective adsorption material, either with or without surface treatment, depending on the type of water to be purified.
