Investigation of Clinoptylolite Ion Exchange Capacity Relative to Copper and Zinc Ions in Conditions of Ideal Intermixing Mode

Abstract

The sorption method of purification of flushing water from non-ferrous metal ions in galvanizing-bath rooms of mechanical facilities was investigated, which is one of the most realistic ways to solve the problem of environmental protection from such pollution. The effect of preliminary thermal and chemical modification of the crystal structure in order to improve the sorption capacity of clinoptilolite was established. The kinetics of the copper ion exchange process on clinoptilolite in static conditions was determined.
