Luc Robert Van Loon

That depends on the chemical composition of your waste water. What type of waste water is it (pH) and what kind of heavy metals and their concentration do you have in the water water?

Shukra Raj Paudel

Yes, I agree with Dr. Luc.

Best!

Magdi El Fergani

its good to activated in acid form before used for chemical attraction with metal ions

Grzegorz Boczkaj

The exchange causes the size of the caverns in zeolite, i.e. you can tune its selectivity.

Adebola Akinjokun

Thank you all.
