Preparation and application of modified zeolites as adsorbents in wastewater treatment
Abstract
Natural zeolite has been recognized as a useful adsorbent for wastewater treatment for removing cations. Natural zeolite is a kind of porous material with large specific surface area but limited adsorption capacity. In recent years, emphasis has been given to prepare the surface modified zeolite using various procedures to enhance the potential of zeolite for pollutants. Modification treatment for zeolite can greatly change surface chemistry and pore structure. The article describes various modification methods of zeolite, and introduces the removal mechanisms of common pollutants such as ammonium, phosphorus and heavy metals. In addition, this review paper intends to present feasibility of applying modified zeolite to constructed wetlands which will be beneficial to achieve higher removal effect.

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.
