Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This mineral showed the same high sorption capacity values when used in the purification of metal electroplating waste waters, appearing, therefore, as most suitable to perform metal waste water purification processes.

482 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It was found that synthesised geopolymer matrixes were only effective in the chemical immobilisation of a number of elements of environmental concern contained in fly ashes, reducing (especially for Ba), or maintaining their leachable contents after the geopolymisation process, but not for those elements present as oxyanions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results show that the zeolitic material considerably decreases the leaching of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn, and the sorption of metals in soil clay minerals (illite) proved to be the main cause contributing to the immobilization of these pollutants.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The fate of trace elements in a combustion power plant equipped with a wet limestone flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) installation was studied in order to evaluate its emission abatement capacity and the environmental characterisation of combustion by-products was established.

155 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Adsorption was not affected by pH in acid medium, but decreased when pH sifted to alkaline values, and the presence of SO(4)(2-) greatly reduced Cr(VI) removal across the entire pH range when both solutes were present in similar concentrations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A review of the recent development of natural zeolites as adsorbents in water and wastewater treatment can be found in this paper, where the properties and modification of natural zerosite are discussed and the modified zerosites achieving higher adsorption capacity for organics and anions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the technical applicability of various physico-chemical treatments for the removal of heavy metals such as Cd(II), Cr(III, Cr(VI), Cu(II, Ni(II) and Zn(II).
