Modification of natural zeolites and their applications for heavy metal removal from polluted environments: Challenges, recent advances, and perspectives
Open accessAbstract
In recent decades, environmental pollution has become a significant problem for human health and environmental impact. The high accumulation of heavy metals in waters and soils from different sources was conducted by finding efficient and environmentally friendly treatment methods and materials for their removal. Natural zeolites have found wide-ranging applications in environmental remediation and protection, considering various treatment and modification methods designed to enhance the natural zeolites' adsorptive or ion-exchange capabilities for increased efficiency. This paper briefly consolidates the recent scientific literature related to the main characteristics of natural and modified zeolites, the advantages and limitations of their environmental remediation application, and summarizes the methodologies applied to natural zeolites in order to improve their properties. Their application for removing heavy metals from water systems and soils is also comprehensively discussed. This review highlights the excellent potential of natural zeolites to be used after specific treatment or modification as a sustainable and green material to solve numerous environmental pollution issues.

“However, structural stability remains a limitation; the aluminosilicate framework is susceptible to dealumination under acidic conditions, leading to crystalline collapse, loss of porosity, and permanent reduction in adsorption capacity.219”
From Emerging nanotechnology approaches for sustainable water treatment and heavy metals removal: a comprehensive review (2025) · cites this paper as [219]
The section on methodologies for improving natural zeolites (page unavailable) says acid can extract Al from the framework and that excess treatment reagent can disturb crystallinity and decrease adsorption capacity. The acid-treatment section says low-Si zeolites are unstable in acid. Neither section establishes that acid-induced dealumination leads to crystalline collapse, loss of porosity, or a permanent reduction in adsorption capacity; the paper generally reports increased porosity after acid treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
