Adsorption of Enrofloxacine on Natural Zeolite - Clinoptilolite
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential use of Croatian natural zeolite clinoptilolite as alternative adsorbents for removal of enrofloxacin (ENRO) as model pollutant was studied in a batch system. The influence of contact time and initial ENRO concentration on the sorption process was investigated. The percentage removal of ENRO from aqueous phase decreased with an increase in initial concentration. The experimental data were analyzed using the pseudo-secondorder kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using two widely applied isotherms: Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. A linear method was used for comparing the best fitting of the isotherms. The little bit better fit was found to be Langmuir isotherm for adsorption of ENRO onto natural zeolite. The maximum ENRO capacity of natural zeolite from the Langmuir isotherm model at 318 K was 2.4307 mg/g.

Uranium removal from groundwater by natural clinoptilolite zeolite: effects of pH and initial feed concentration.
Adsorption of uranium (VI) on a natural clinoptilolite zeolite from Sweetwater County, Wyoming was investigated. Batch experiments were conducted to study the effects of pH and initial feed concentrations on uranium removal efficiency. It was found that the clinoptilolite can neutralize both acidic and low basic water solutions through its alkalinity and ion-exchange reactions with U within the...
متن کاملA Systematic Study on the Effect of Desilication of Clinoptilolite Zeolite on its Deep-Desulfurization Characteristics
Natural clinoptilolite zeolite (CLP) in its original or metal ion- exchanged form (Ni2+) is a weak adsorbent for relatively large thiophene derivative molecules like benzothiophene (BT) and di-benzothiophene (DBT), due to its rather restricted micro-channel structure. A novelty of this work is that upon desilication treatments, it is possible to enhance the adsorption behavior of Ni2+-exchanged...

In this research, the removal of lead from the aqueous solution was investigated using natural nontoxic zeolite (clinoptilolite) as a low-cost adsorbent in order to reduce human exposure to it. The clinoptilolite zeolite obtained from the Semnan area was characterized by X-ray diffraction pattern, FTIR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The central composite design (CCD) defin...

In the research described in this paper, studied was sorption capacity of natural and ferric modification of zeolite tuff containing mineral clinoptilolite from the Nižný Hrabovec deposit to remove potentially toxic metals (ionic forms of chromium, nickel, copper and aluminium) from their water solutions. We reported that the Fe (III) zeolite has an enhanced ability to sorption of Cu (II), and ...
