Abstract
Environmental contamination by metal ions and water-soluble organic pollutants has become a major concern worldwide, since many industrial activities intensify the use and discharge of these substances; in fact, a few cost-effective solutions to this important issue are available to these days. In this context, the use of zeolite-based materials (natural, synthetic, or chemically modified nanostructured aluminosilicates) as adsorbents might be an interesting alternative for environmental applications, due to their low cost, practical, and simple use and the possibility of tailoring their structures for removal of different pollutants, whether they are inorganic or organic molecules, cationic or anionic ions, and small or large molecules. Thus, this work aims to contribute to a more rational approach to the development of better adsorbents for environmental remediation by reviewing recent reports in the literature describing the design of modified aluminosilicates, discussing the main advantages and disadvantages of each synthesis method and encompassing different types of pollutants such as heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, and other organic pollutants.
