Abstract:
Sr2+ ions in an aqueous solution were removed using Na-A zeolites synthesized from kaolin, a natural mineral. Na-A zeolites with high crystallinity were synthesized using NaOH/kaolin mass ratios of 0.6 (ZK06) and 0.9 (ZK09). The adsorption reached equilibrium within 120 min. The adsorption data obtained from experiments for Sr2+ using ZK06 and ZK09 were appropriately analyzed with pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. Comparing the maximum adsorption capacities (qm) of ZK06 and ZK09 for Sr2+, the highest values were obtained at 1.90 and 2.42 mmol/g, respectively. Consequently, the Na-A zeolites synthesized from kaolin can be evaluated as adsorbents with high adsorption capacities for the removal of Sr2+, proportional to the degree of their crystallinity.
