New, cheap and efficient synthetic Zeolite-X decontaminant agent from fly ash for heavy metal toxicity

The study aimed to synthesize and characterize a zeolite type X from recycling fly ash by hydrothermal treatment in the presence of sodium hydroxide and used it as decontaminant agent to remove some heavy metals (Zn+2, Pb+2 and Cu+2) from standard aqueous solution by adsorption process. The prepared...
