This study developed a novel P-type zeolite capable of efficiently removing heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb²⁺), from aqueous solutions. The zeolite demonstrated impressive adsorption capacities, with Pb²⁺ removal rates reaching 97% after five regeneration cycles. The process was rapid, with Pb²⁺ levels dropping from 7.5 ppm to 0.6 ppb within
This in vitro and animal study investigated the use of medical-grade activated carbon (MAC) and acid-processed montmorillonite clay (APM) as edible agents for binding and neutralizing heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead. Using adsorption/desorption isotherms and a simulated gastrointestinal model, the study demonstrated that MAC strongly adsorbs
This review examines the effectiveness of natural zeolites, particularly clinoptilolite, in removing heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, and nickel from water. The study highlights how the mineral’s origin affects its adsorption properties and discusses methods to enhance its performance, such as acid or base treatments and
