Abstract:A B S T R A C TNatural zeolites (NZ), zeolites modified with hexadecyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTMZ), and zeolites modified with hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide/sodium dodecyl sulfate (CSMZ) were prepared and used for the adsorption of phthalate esters (PAEs). The adsorbents were characterized using scanning election microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric, BrunauerEmmett-Teller, and organic carbon analyses. Adsorption characteristics, such as kinet… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
