Adsorption of pollutants using different types of geological materials: a review
Abstract
The increase in the amount of pollutants in the ecosystem led to the search of low-cost adsorbents. Despite the effective capacity of conventional adsorbents, such as activated carbon, attention has been directed to adsorbents that are naturally accessible due to their low cost of removing contaminants. This study is a survey of research on the ability of geological materials and modifications to adsorb ionic metals, heavy metals, organic compounds and pharmacological contaminants. Geological materials such as bentonite, kaolinite, montmorillonite, zeolite and calcite; zeolite and bentonite are effective in removing pesticides from antibiotics and wastes.
