Regeneration of natural zeolite polluted by lead and zinc in wastewater treatment systems
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this work was to investigate the potential regeneration of natural zeolite which had been contaminated with lead and zinc contained in aqueous solutions, treated secondary effluent and primary treated wastewater. Several desorbing solutions were examined for the removal of Pb(II) and Zn(II) from zeolite and the highest desorption efficiency was obtained for 3M KCl and 1M KCl, respectively. The desorption process depended on the type and concentration of the desorbing solution, the metal being desorbed, the mineral selectivity towards the metal and the composition of the liquid medium where the adsorption process had taken place. Successive regeneration cycles resulted in the reduction of desorption efficiency by more than 50% after 9 and 4 cycles for lead and zinc, respectively. Kinetics examination showed that desorption was slower than adsorption, while metal ions which had been easily adsorbed were difficult to be desorbed. Adsorption was characterized by a three-stage diffusion process, while desorption followed a two-stage diffusion process.

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.
