existence of acid humic in water resources is undesirable and causes carcinogenic component in disinfection process due to reaction with chlorine. due to their cost-effectiveness and higher physical resistance than activated carbon, natural zeloites are used for removing various pollutants. . in the present study, iranian natural zeolite modified with cetylpyridinium bromide (cpb) was investiga...

The relatively small and sole micropores in zeolite catalysts strongly influence the mass transfer and catalytic conversion of bulky molecules. We report here aluminosilicate zeolite ZSM-5 single crystals with b-axis-aligned mesopores, synthesized using a designed cationicamphiphilic copolymer as a mesoscale template. This sample exhibits excellent hydrothermal stability. The orientation of the...

besides human dental and skeletal fluorosis, drinking water above permissible levels of fluoride is known to cause a wide range of adverse health effects. in this study, the adsorption of fluoride from aqueous solution onto pretreated zeolite has been studied by using batch test. the large surface area of natural zeolite (i. e., clinoptilolite from miyaneh region, iran) was utilized to create a...

due to the limited availability of phosphorus in soil especially calcareous soils, it is important to investigate strategies to increase ability of phosphorus uptake by plant. evaluating the effect of zeolite (clinoptilolite), irrigation levels and preferential flows, simultaneously and independently, on increasing phosphorus uptake by corn was objective of this study. potted study was done in ...

background lead poisoning impairs memory and learning. objectives the protective effect of natural zeolite clinoptilolite on memory and learning impairment in rats exposed to lead acetate was investigated. materials and methods 60 male wistar rats in six groups treated for 2 months with diets contained different ratios of natural zeolite(i.e. 5% or 12.5%), and %0.2 lead acetate (la) concentrati...
