SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF IRON NANOSTRUCTURES INSIDE POROUS ZEOLITES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

A new sorbent with magnetic properties and anion removal ability has been produced by incorporating iron oxide based nanoparticles into the pores of zeolite crystals. The sorbent has been tested for the removal of arsenic (V) species from model aqueous solutions in batch-type equilibrium experiments. Good sorption was observed with maximum capacity of 73.32 mg of As per g of sorbent at pH 3.5.
